Bari to consolidate a spot in Serie B play-offs
On Tuesday night, Bari host Spezia at the Stadio Comunale San Nicola in Serie B, as the home side look to consolidate their spot in the promotion play-offs.
The home side are currently sixth-place in the Italian second tier and looking good to seal a top-eight finish. Fabio Grosso’s side could still be in with a shout of gaining automatic promotion, as they currently have games in hand on the teams above them, but are eight points behind second spot.
Their recent league form has been decent, as the home side are unbeaten in four Serie B outings. A 2-2 home draw with Pro Vercelli ended a three-game winning run in the second tier for Grosso’s men.
The home side’s home form in Serie B has dipped of late, as they have won just one of their last five league outings. However, prior to their recent poor run, they had recorded seven straight league wins.
Spezia are comfortably in midtable in Serie B. The visitors are just three points outside the race for the promotion play-off spots themselves. A win in this clash could be massive for Fabio Gallo’s team.
Spezia’s bid for a play-off spot has been hampered by a recent run that has seen the visitor’s record just two wins in their last nine league games. Their recent games in Serie B have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 13 league games.
Gallo’s side have won just two of their last 15 games on the road in Serie B. However, both of those victories have been in their last five away games in the Italian second tier.
Forebet predicts that Bari will record a victory in a low scoring game to consolidate their place in the promotion play-off spots.
