Bari may be at the foot of the table in Serie A but by no means are they out. With eight points from nine matches, the Galletti are still very much win in with a chance of clawing their way out of the relegation zone as 17th placed Parma has as many points as them.
However, Bari cannot afford to relax thinking of the point difference as form-wise they couldn’t be doing any worse. Giampiero Ventura’s side have suffered defeats in each of their last four league fixtures and have won just twice in Serie A all season.
However, both those wins for Bari have come at home but they have scored just three times in the league all season at the Stadio San Nicola.
Overcoming Midweek Disappointment
Milan’s season has been inconsistent and they continued to maintain that in midweek when they drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in the Champions League. The draw has also placed the Rossoneri’s knockout stage qualification into some doubt as Ajax are just a point behind them and Auxerre just two.
Nevertheless, Massimiliano Allegre’s side will have the confidence to get past bottom-side Bari in Serie A at the weekend. Last weekend the Diavolo suffered a 2-1 defeat to Juventus in Milan and although they have to pull themselves out of the pit they have fallen, they should be able to defeat Bari given their superior squad.
Milan’s away form in the league this season has been mixed as they have won two out of four matches, having scored four goals and conceded four as well. But the Rossoneri’s last away game ended in a 2-1 win against Napoli in Naples.
