Bari vs Sudtirol prediction 02.06.2023

Looking to overturn a one-goal deficit, Bari welcomes Sudtirol to Stadio Comunale San Nicola with a place in the final of the Serie A promotion playoffs up for grabs. A tight and competitive first leg saw Suditirol emerge with an injury-time winner, and another low-scoring contest really ought to be expected at the Stadio Comunale San Nicola. Indeed, both sides have posted low numbers in the goal markets this season, and when Suditirol hits the road, a low-scoring encounter is invariably to be expected. Only three of Sudtirol´s away matches saw over 2.5 goals scored, with 16 of 19 finishing under 2.5 goals. Similarly, Bari have also seen the vast majority of recent games finishing with less than three goals scored. Six of their last seven at the Stadio Comunale San Nicola finished with under 2.5 goals netted, and we expect that outcome to land once more with Sudtirol so strong defensively in away matches. The visitors have conceded only four goals in their previous 11 away games while keeping clean sheets in eight of those matches. While Bari are favourites to claim at least a 90-minute victory, the home side have been somewhat inconsistent on their own patch, having won only seven of 19 home Serie B games this season. It is also worth noting that both of the last two meetings between these sides finished with only one goal scored and with a one-goal advantage to protect, we anticipate the away side to deploy a defensive strategy, and with that, we´ll back the under 2.5 goal selection with the under 1.5 goal choice also offering plenty of value considering both sides recent form and their h2h record this year.
