Kovac’s team has suffered back to back defeats – although two predictable ones against Trento and Macerata – and will try to make the breakthrough against Modena to get back on track. This will also be an important game for the Italian Cup qualification. There are five games left till the halfway point of the season and Perugia is currently tied in seventh place and is just one point ahead of Modena as only the top 8 will go to the big dance.
