Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio San Nicola will be the centre of attention when Bari and Parma go head to head in an eagerly-awaited Serie B game. The Biancorossi suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous ten league matches and given their poor defensive display in a 4-1 loss to Cosenza, home win should not be considered. Nicola Bellomo is banned for the match, while all George Puscas, Raffaele Maiello, Davide Diaw, and Ilias Koutsoupias.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Lecco. As Parma are eager to secure automatic Serie A promotion as soon as possible, away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Spanish rising star Adrian Bernabe Garcia, who scored a brace in the last league match. Poland international Adrian Benedyczak is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Anthony Partipilo being ready to step up.
Highlighted Team (Parma):
Founded in 1913, Parma is considered one of the most famous Italian clubs. The Gialloblu play home games in white shirts with a dark blue cross and dark blue shorts. Speaking of their away colours, Parma footballers wear yellow-blue kits on the travels. Parma have yet to win the Serie A trophy, but they did well to lift the UEFA Cup trophy on two occasions (1994/1995, 1998/1999).
To make things even better for Parma fans, the Gialloblu won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1992/1993 season, with the team beating Royal Antwerp in the title game 3-1. A number of top-class footballers played for Parma in the past: Hernan Crespo, Roberto Mancini, Juan Veron, Roberto Mancini, Dino Baggio, Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon.
The Gialloblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Ennio Tardini, which was opened in 1923. The venue can hold up to 27,906 spectators. Bologna are considered Parma’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
