Bari Brescia match preview

First two matches of the 32nd round of the Italian Serie B are on schedule for Saturday and in one of them 5th-placed Bari meets 17th-positioned Bresica, which has 13 points fewer at the moment. We have chosen to analyse this match mostly because of fact that Bari is still in the race for direct promotion to the Serie A, while on the other hand Brescia is positioned just one place above the drop zone. Let’s add that their head-to-head played last autumn had ended as Brescia’s home victory of 2-1.

FC Bari

Now, Bari’s fans are firmly convinced that their team will win all three points, especially as it routinely won Brescia 2-0 at the very same stadium last year. Besides, we have said in the introduction that Bari still hasn’t given up battle for direct promotion to the Serie A, given that it has just seven points fewer than 2nd-placed Frosinone at the moment, while on the other hand the ninth place is just three points below, and it can happen very easily to not even qualify for the promotion play-off.

True, the team is undefeated in last six rounds; although after three consecutive wins it drew three times in a row, which is the main reason for seven-point backlog behind Frosinone. We need to say that Bari played one match fewer than Frosinone and all this together tells us that we rightly expect from team led by young manager Gross to start offensively from the first minute and with an objective to achieve an important victory over Brescia, especially as just two players are out of action, from before injured stopper Oikonomou and midfielder Salzano.

Probable lineups FC Bari: Micai Sabelli, Marrone, Diakite, Balkovec – Henderson, Basha, Tello – Galano, Kozak, Improta

Brescia

The guests from Brescia occupies mere 17th place in the table ahead of this match of the 32nd round. They have five points more than teams in the drop zone but the promotion play-off is just one point above them at the moment. In previous round Brescia drew at home with Cremonese 1-1, while before that it lost away two times in a row, to Perugia and Novara.

Of course, the latest events have were reason for concern among its fans and manager  Boscagli, who took over the team some two months ago and at one point he had four-game unbeaten streak of even three wins and one draw. Now, Brescia is again in a crisis before difficult away match with Bari. Additional problem are definitely absence of suspended defender Coppolaro and injured stopper Lancin and midfielder Furlan.

Probable lineups Brescia: Minelli – Cancellotti, Somma, Gastaldello, Longhi – Martinelli, Bisoli, Tonali – Torregrossa, Caracciolo, Embalo

Verdict:

Although Bari slid down at the fifth place in the table after three consecutive draws, the team still has chance to reach the second place that directly leads to the Serie A which is why we expect to routinely win at home not so good Brescia.
