Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Venezia will be aiming to make a flying start to the season when they face Bari on Sunday evening. I Lagunari are eyeing a quick return to the Italian top flight, but bear in mind that the likes of Francesco Zampano, Fali Cande, Jay Izdes, and Christian Gytkjaer left the club earlier this summer. A man to watch in the home team will be new signing Andrea Adorante, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Coppa Italia loss to AC Milan, but given their difficulties on the travels, home win should be considered. In their last encounter at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, Venezia defeated Bari 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Summer signing Matthias Verreth is widely expected to make his Serie B debut with Bari against Venezia.
