Bitesize Prediction: Palermo vs Bari – 19/09/25

Competition: Serie B

Market: Palermo win

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Two camps who already find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Serie B standings, Palermo will welcome Bari to the Stadio Renzo Barbera on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Palermo might have been left hugely frustrated last season as they eventually missed out on a play-off ticket, it is no secret that Filippo Inzaghi’s men are regarded as a standout promotion contender this season. Putting seven points on the board from their first three Serie B showdowns, the Eagles open this weekend’s fixtures with just their goal difference keeping them off top spot. Flying out of the traps since opening up the new campaign, the mood around the Stadio Renzo Barbera at a real high. Last seen marking their return from September’s international break with a routine 2-0 victory away at Sudtirol, the one-time AC Milan boss will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. Getting proceedings underway with a 2-1 win at home against Reggiana, Palermo should be smelling a golden opportunity on Friday night. Along with recording back-to-back Serie B clean sheets, it should also be highlighted that Inzaghi’s camp have suffered just a single defeat in front of their own supporters since returning from March’s international fixtures.

As for the visitors, while Palermo might have enjoyed a sensational start to the new campaign, Bari find themselves in the midst of what has been a worrying rut. Marking their return from September’s fortnight interval with a woeful 3-0 drumming at the hands of Modena, Fabio Caserta’s side are sat in the relegation zone and have managed to put just a single point on the board from any of their first three Serie B appearances. Getting proceedings underway with a 2-1 defeat away at Venezia, the Cockerels appear destined for what will be another stern examination here. Showing some major defensive issues, Bari have drastically failed to find any kind of stability so far this calendar year. In fact, Friday’s guests have failed to register consecutive Serie B victories throughout 2025. Two camps who already find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the table, we are backing a home victory at the Stadio Renzo Barbera this weekend.
