Ternana vs Bari Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5

Unusual relegation rules in the Italian second division dictate that if the two-legged tie ends in a draw, Bari will be demoted from Serie B due to having accumulated fewer points than Ternana during the regular season.

With the first leg of the playout in Apulia ending in a 1-1 draw, it simply means that the Cockerels have no choice but to go in search of victory, something they have failed to achieve in their last four visits to the Stadio Libero Liberati (D2, L2).

With their fate squarely in their own hands, Ternana will be optimistic about preserving the draw achieved in the dying stages of the first leg, given their rock-solid defense that has been breached just once in their last four home matches.

With expectations of another closely contested match, it's important to highlight that Le Fere's home fixtures have frequently been among the least eventful in Serie B this term, as evidenced by 14 out of 19 games failing to exceed the 2.5-goal threshold.

Bari's chances of crafting a triumphant display in the midweek clash appear bleak, as they have been performing poorly in their away matches for months, considering they have to go all the way back to October 2023 to find their last victory (D5, L8).

Moreover, the most recent two visits to the Libero Liberati have seen the attack of the Cockerels completely stifled, as not only have been scoreless in each of those, but they have also managed to muster only to muster only two feeble shots towards Ternana's goal and could once again struggle in their quest for a goal.

Plus, Giampo's squad has found it challenging to rattle the opponent's net more than once, achieving 2+ goals just once in their past 15 appearances. Considering all these factors, along with the fact that Ternana's last four straight home matches haven't produced more than one goal, we believe that "Under" is a wise selection, as we anticipate a similar outcome to the first leg.
