Our prediction for this Serie B match:
All eyes will be on Stadio San Nicola when Bari and Sassuolo square off against each other in the Serie A derby. Bari made a slow start to the season, with the team losing to both Juve Stabia and Modena and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. Midfielder Raffaele Maiello remains on the sidelines with a strain injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. The Neroverdi, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Cesena.
Sassuolo, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given Domenico Berardi’s long-term injury, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Teenager Flavio Russo is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the triumph over Cesena, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
