It's not often in recent matches that Palermo shows such a solid defense. The facts show that Palermo failed to prevent the opponent from scoring in 5 of the previous 6 matches, conceding 7 goals. However, it remains to be seen whether that pattern will continue in this match.
Coming into this match, Palermo had not been beaten in the league by AS Bari in their last 7 matches.
After losing their last match at the hands of Südtirol-Alto Adige in the Serie B competition, AS Bari and their visiting fans will be hoping for a better result here.
In that match, AS Bari managed to control the ball 62% and fired 14 shots on goal, 2 of which were on target. On the other hand, Sudtirol made 18 attempts on goal with 6 of them being on target. Matteo Rover (90′) scored for Südtirol-Alto Adige.
In 5 of the last six matches featuring AS Bari, the number of goals scored between them and the opponent has been relatively low. The overall average of goals scored per game during that period was just 2.17, while the average number of goals scored by Galletti was 1.17.
Coming into this match, AS Bari had not won at home in their last 2 league matches.
A total of 11 goals were scored between them in this period, with 9 goals from Rosaneri and 2 goals from Galletti. Average goals per game is 1.83.
The last league meeting between the two was Serie B match day 23 on 02/02/2024 and the score ended with Palermo 3-0 AS Bari.
That day, Palermo controlled the ball 49% of the time and made 18 attempts on goal, 9 of which were on target. The goal scorers were Filippo Ranocchia (44′), Pietro Ceccaroni (71′) and Jacopo Segre (80′).
AS Bari fired 11 shots at the goal with 2 of them on target.
Alexis Blin (hamstring injury) and Alfred Gomis (patellar tendon rupture) are unavailable for Palermo manager Alessio Dionisi.
In our opinion, the Rosaneri can use a 4-3-3 formation in this match, starting the first half with S. Desplanches, Rayyan Baniya, Kristoffer Lund, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Pietro Ceccaroni, Jacopo Segre, Filippo Ranocchia, Jeremy Le Douaron, Francesco Di Mariano, Valerio Verre, and F. Di Francesco.
We believe Galletti will most likely use a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Boris Radunovic, Raffaele Pucino, Francesco Vicari, Valerio Mantovani, Andrea Oliveri, Ahmad Benali, Nunzio Lella, Mehdi Dorval, Cesar Falletti, Kevin Lasagna and Andrija Novakovich as a starter.(source: Sportsmole)
