Modena have shortened from 15/4 to 17/10 with BetAhoy to win promotion from the Italian Serie B, with 7/4 now the best price available at QuinnBet.
Modena's price to win promotion from the Italian Serie B has been slashed from 15/4 to 17/10 with BetAhoy, with 7/4 the best price now available at QuinnBet.
Modena beat Empoli 2-1 at the Stadio Alberto Braglia on 20 September 2026 to keep their promotion push ticking along.
Andrea Belotti's overhead kick and a Giuseppe Ambrosino header turned the game around after the break.
The win lifted Modena to 10 points from their opening five matches of the Serie B campaign.
Three of three bookmakers have cut their price on Modena to win promotion from the Italian Serie B, with 7/4 the best available at QuinnBet.
Modena had to do it the hard way against Empoli. Gerard Yepes put the visitors ahead in the 27th minute, and for a while it looked like a frustrating afternoon in front of goal for the home side. Daniele Galloppa sent his team out for the second half with intent, and the response was exactly what a promotion contender needs to show when the log demands it. Andrea Belotti, on as a 56th-minute substitute, controlled Daniel Tonoli's cross and finished with an overhead kick for his first goal of the season, before Giuseppe Ambrosino rose to head home from an Alessandro Bianco set-piece delivery to seal a 2-1 win.
That kind of stubborn, come-from-behind result is why the market has reacted. Bookmakers have taken notice of the way Modena keep finding answers, shortening their price from 15/4 to 17/10 with BetAhoy — a clear signal of growing confidence in this side's promotion credentials. Ten points from five matches is a serious start, and with Belotti now off the mark and contributing off the bench, Modena's attack looks like their main weapon in this promotion race. When a team wins games it was losing at half-time, layers take notice, and the price follows.

Can Modena win promotion from the Italian Serie B?
Palermo are the ones to catch here, sitting as clear favourites at a best price of 2/13 with QuinnBet after making a strong start under Filippo Inzaghi, including a 3-1 home win over Sampdoria at the Stadio Renzo Barbera on 7 September 2026. Verona are next in the pecking order at 4/6 with QuinnBet, and then it tightens up, with Cremonese and Modena sharing third-shortest spot at 7/4 with QuinnBet. Modena's recent surge in the Italian Serie B odds reflects real momentum, but they still have work to do to climb above the front-runners.
Palermo – 2/13 with QuinnBet
Verona – 4/6 with QuinnBet
Cremonese – 7/4 with QuinnBet
Modena – 7/4 with QuinnBet

Can Modena seal promotion from the Italian Serie B?
The fixtures come thick and fast now. Modena host Hellas Verona at the Stadio Alberto Braglia in Serie B Matchday 6 on 11 October 2026, before travelling to face Carrarese at the Stadio dei Marmi on 17 October 2026. That Verona game is a genuine measuring stick against a side rated above them in the market, and it will tell us plenty about whether this promotion push has staying power. If Belotti and Ambrosino keep delivering in front of goal the way they did against Empoli, the bookmakers who have already cut their price — shortened from 15/4 to 17/10 with BetAhoy — will face fresh pressure. For now they remain behind Palermo and Verona, but the direction of travel is firmly in their favour.
