Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Palermo will try to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Bari in their last home game of the season. The Sicilians suffered a dip in form, but the Boxing Day clash could be the turning point for Alessio Dionisi’s troops. Both Alexis Blin and Alfred Gomis are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
I Biancorossi, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Pisa and Sudtirol and seeing that Palermo are capable of recording good results at their Stadio Renzo Barbera, home win should definitely be considered. Midfielder Mattia Maita is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue Palermo outplayed Bari 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
