Prediction: 1-0
Bari
Parma will look to kick off their Serie B campaign in great manner when they take on Bari on Friday evening. The Gli Emiliani failed to impress in the 2021/2022 Serie B season, and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign. The club chiefs have signed the likes of Gennaro Tutino, Enrico Del Prato, Elias Cobbaut, Jayden Oosterwolde, and Nahuel Estevez in the summer transfer window, but Juraj Kucka, Walid Cheddira, and Gaston Brugman are no longer parts of the team.
Bari, on the other hand, totally deserved to secure promotion to Serie B, and, no doubt, the club’s main goal for the upcoming season is to avoid relegation back to Serie C. Anyhow, home win should be considered as over the years Parma have turned their Ennio Tardini into a real fortress. A man to watch in the away team will be Mirco Antenucci, who scored 17 goals in the Italian third tier last term.
