AS Bari are hoping to win again after their last result, the 2-1 Serie B success versus Palermo.

For AS Bari, goals were scored by Giulio Maggiore (6') and Lorenco Šimić (89'). Joel Pohjanpalo (18') scored for Palermo.

AS Bari have been conceding pretty frequently recently, although they’ve also found ways to score goals themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, AS Bari have conceded in 5 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches.

Modena

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Sassuolo in Serie B action, Modena will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Modena managed 54% possession and 13 shots at goal with 7 on target. The only player to score for Modena was Simone Santoro (60'). On the other side, Sassuolo had 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. Domenico Berardi (36'), Armand Laurienté (64') and Luca Moro (76') scored for Sassuolo.

Modena have seen success in front of goal in their most recent fixtures, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Paolo Mandelli will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Modena have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same matches. With no two games being the same, it remains to be seen if such a trend will be maintained here in this game or not.

↔️ Head to head

If we look at their past head to head meetings going back to 23/04/2016, it’s been all-even between these two clubs with AS Bari winning 1 of those games, Modena 1 and 4 being draws after 90 minutes of play.

16 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 9 of them from Galletti and 7 netted by Canarini. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.67.

The last league meeting between these clubs was Serie B match day 2 on 23/08/2024 and the score finished Modena 2-1 AS Bari.

That day, Modena had 42% possession and 16 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. The scorers were Antonio Palumbo (45') and Pedro Mendes (62').

At the other end, AS Bari got 14 shots on goal with 4 on target. Andrija Novakovich (17') was the scorer.

The match was refereed by Gabriele Scatena.

🗞️ Team News: AS Bari

It seems likely that Galletti should make use of the 3-4-3 system for this one, handing starts to Oliver Christensen, Fabio Ruggeri, Gianmarco Ferrari, Luka Lochoshvili, Daniele Verde, Franco Tongya, Roberto Soriano, Tommaso Corazza, Lorenzo Amatucci, Alberto Cerri and Paolo Ghiglione.

📰 Team News: Modena

Modena manager Paolo Mandelli has some current player fitness concerns. Fabio Ponsi (surgery) and Antonio Pergreffi (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

We believe Canarini will likely begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 system, going with Alessandro Micai, Filippo Sgarbi, Christian Dalle Mura, Michael Venturi, Baldovino Cimino, Mario Gargiulo, Christian Kouan, Giacomo Ricci, Juan Manuel Cruz, Andrea Rizzo Pinna and Gabriele Artistico.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Modena have the firepower to find the net against this AS Bari team, but that might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for AS Bari by the conclusion of the game. Should be an interesting one.
