On average, Modena scores 1 goal and concedes 0.8, while Catanzaro scores 2.2 and concedes 1.6, with the average total goals in Modena's matches being 1.8 and Catanzaro's being 3.8. By halves, Modena had over 1.5 goals in the first half 1 out of 5 times, and 2 out of 5 in the second half. Catanzaro recorded over 1.5 goals in the first half 2 times, and 3 out of 5 in the second half. Goal intervals show Modena most frequently scores in the first 15 minutes (29%), while Catanzaro scores between 46-60 minutes (40%). Modena concedes evenly: 33% of goals in the intervals 16-30, 46-60, and 76-90. Catanzaro's conceded goals are distributed at 22% across four different intervals. Given Catanzaro's high scoring and both teams' less-than-reliable defenses, betting on over 2.5 goals at 2.05 seems logical. Catanzaro consistently produces high-scoring matches, and Modena has the potential to score, especially considering the distribution by halves and scoring intervals.

Corners: Numbers and Possible Bets

Modena averages 6.6 corners per game, Catanzaro 5.2. Over the last 5 matches, Modena had over 9.5 total corners 4 times, Catanzaro 3 times. The closest line to the average total corners is 12 (6.6 + 5.2 = 11.8), but odds are available for a total of 9.5: over 9.5 is at 2.08, under at 1.65. Modena is favored in corner outcomes with odds of 1.37. Given the frequent occurrence of over 9.5 totals and high averages for both teams, a bet on an increase in corners seems justified. Both Modena and Catanzaro tend to play actively on the flanks, as evidenced by their corner stats. Additionally, Catanzaro's recent matches have high yellow card figures, which could further impact the number of set pieces.
