Bari vs Sudtirol Predictions

• Bari are unbeaten in their last eight at home (W4, D4).
• Sudtirol have won just one of their last six away (D3, L2).
• Sudtirol have failed to score in four of their last eight trips.

Bari looking to fight back in promotion battle

Bari trail Sudtirol 1-0 ahead of the second leg of their Serie B promotion play-off on Friday but will feel they are still very much alive in this tie.

The first leg was a fairly even affair but Sudtirol managed to edge it in front of their own fans.

Bari will now be looking to make the most of playing at their Stadio San Nicola home, and there is every reason to believe they can fight back as they bid for top flight football.

Bari a tough prospect at home

Bari are unbeaten in their last eight home games and they only lost three of their 19 games at the San Nicola during the Serie B regular season.

They did draw nine of those games, but they need to win here and they can get over the line against a Sudtirol side who have begun to struggle for results away.

The Biancorossi had the fourth best away record in Serie B over the regular season but have managed just one win in their last six away from home, and with Bari in desperate need of the win they can make the most of their home advantage on Friday.

Goals could be in short supply

A 1-0 win for the hosts is the correct score prediction, which would force the tie into extra time, as both of these sides tend to be involved in low scoring games.

Sudtirol may have been strong travellers but they only scored 17 goals in 19 trips in Serie B and their away games averaged just 1.7 goals-per-game.

Under 2.5 goals was a winning bet in five of Bari’s last six at home and they have four clean sheets during that run themselves, which further strengthens the cause for a 1-0 home win prediction.
