DLLDLL ⚠

AS Bari will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Como.

In that game, AS Bari managed 45% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for AS Bari was George Puşcaş (90'). On the other side, Como had 14 shots at goal with 6 on target. Alessandro Gabrielloni (38') and Lucas da Cunha (60') scored for Como.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where AS Bari have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that AS Bari have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals along the way. In any event, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend might be maintained here in this game or not.

Looking at the pre-match facts, AS Bari:

• are unbeaten in the league by Pisa in their last 8 matches. A decent run, indeed.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 league games.

📋 Team News: AS Bari

The AS Bari boss Giuseppe Iachini will be happy not to have any fitness worries to speak of before this game owing to a completely injury-free squad to choose from.

We think that Galletti look set to opt for a 4-3-2-1 system for the game and select Marco Pissardo, Mehdi Dorval, Raffaele Pucino, Francesco Vicari, Emmanuele Matino, Mattia Maita, Ahmad Benali, Zan Zuzek, Nicola Bellomo, Mattia Aramu and George Puscas.

📰 Team News: Pisa

With a completely injury-free group available to choose from, the Pisa boss Alberto Aquilani doesn’t have any fitness worries to report ahead of this match.

We are inclined to think that Nerazzurri appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation, starting Nicolas, Arturo Calabresi, Pietro Beruatto, Alessandro Arena, Marco D'Alessandro, Tomás Esteves, Marius Marin, Tommaso Barbieri, Hjörtur Hermannsson, Mattia Valoti and Nicholas Bonfanti.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Pisa and AS Bari should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We therefore think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-1 draw at the end of this one.
