Palermo vs Bari Prediction & Betting Tips (2 February)

After its big success at home against Modena 4-1, Palermo hoped to continue against Catanzaro last weekend but had to settle for the point of a 1-1 draw. This still remains an excellent result since it allowed the Rosanero to stay in contact with the best in the championship and occupy 5th place in the SB rankings. Let's note their excellent form at home with no less than three successive victories against Pisa 3-2, against the relegated Cremonese 3-2 and against Modena therefore, i.e. at least 3 pawns per match. On the other side of the median , we find Bari which finds itself in an unfavorable position in the race for the playoffs with a mere 12th place but only four lengths behind Modena, the last qualified to participate in the playoffs for accession to the SA.

However, on a sporting level, it's a bit of a grimace for the visitors who have only won one of their last five matches in SB, when they received Ternana 3-1. Since this date, the Biancorossi have been deprived of the 3 points on the Ascoli lawn 2-2 after leading 0-2 at half-time until the 70th minute itself... and defeated last weekend in their lair against the well ranked, Reggiana 10th without possible dispute 0-2.

For this meeting, Palermo will probably find its top scorer this season, Brunori (return from suspension, 8 goals, 2 assists in SB) but will probably have to deal without Lucioni (starter, 2 goals in 17 league caps) and without Mateju ( 17 appearances) both on the flank (injured). Boys like Segre (6 pawns), Stulac (4 goals, 2 goals in the championship) or even Mancuso (3 pawns, 3 assists) and Diakité (3 goals, 2 offerings) will probably be on the scoresheet. On the other side of the median, five players with at least 10 league appearances could be forced to withdraw.

This is the case for Diaw (2 goals in 10 matches), our Maiello (10 capes), Di Cesare (2 pawns in 16 appearances), the ineffective Amaru (the bubble in 13 appearances in the league) and the Greek, Koutsoupias (2 goals, 1 pancake in 14 appearances). Bari still has strengths to showcase with the scorer, Giuseppe Sibilli (7 goals, 3 assists) and the young Nasti (20 years old, 4 goals).
