Our prediction for this Serie B match:
High-flying Bari will be aiming to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Ascoli in the Serie B round 9. I Biancorossi have established themselves as one of the main candidates for promotion, and they must be brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Venezia. Since Bari hammered fellow promotion-chasing Brescia 6-2 in their last game at Stadio San Nicola, home win should definitely be considered.
Mirco Antenucci (38), who is not getting any older, will be the man to watch in the home team. Ascoli, on the other hand, suffered three defeats in the previous four league fixtures, and given their shaky defence, we predict that Michele Mignani’s troops are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s showdown. Giuseppe Bellusci is banned for the match, while both Anthony Fontana and Lorenco Simic are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
