Bari
Current form
Last season, Bari barely managed to save their place in Serie B and were not among the contenders for promotion before the start of the current season. However, Moreno Longo team looks more than worthy in the first round and currently occupies the fourth line in the table with 24 points. It will be difficult to fight for a direct ticket to Serie A - the second Pisa is already 10 points ahead. Having beaten Cesena 1:0 in the last round, Bari extended its unbeaten streak to 14 matches.

2.65Tip and bets
Pisa is fighting for a direct ticket to Serie A and looks more than worthy in the first round, especially strong in home matches. It is obvious that today the "towers" will strive to take the maximum - "Bari" can potentially become a direct competitor, and "Spezia" has not allowed to relax lately. The match is unlikely to be easy for the hosts, the last time the "roosters" lost was back in August, but Pisa is capable of snatching three points in a tough fight.
We think that the guests have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Pisa . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on total
Pisa looks more than decent in home matches, plays openly, with an eye on attack and scores regularly. The hosts will also have plenty of motivation, so it is unlikely that Bari has a real chance to play to zero today. At the same time, the "roosters" are in good shape, have high-level players ahead, and are quite capable of responding to the guests with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Pisa are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
