Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris will be the centre of attention when Sampdoria and Bari lock horns on Tuesday evening. Following back-to-back wins over Lecco and Reggiana, La Samp suffered a shocking 3-2 loss to rock-bottom FeralpiSalo, but it has to be noted that Pajtim Kasami was sent off after 32 minutes. As a result, the Switzerland international is sidelined through suspension, while Alex Ferrari remains in the recovery room with an ACL injury.
Bari, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Cosenza and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on Andrea Pirlo’s charges. Defender Giacomo Ricci is banned for the match, while both Davide Diaw and Ilias Koutsoupias are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
