Bari (home)
- Bari’s inconsistency has held them back in Serie B and coach Moreno Longo has done a good job of adding some organization and tactical discipline to the team since he took charge in January 2026.
- The Galletti have had mixed results in their last five matches, but a seven-point haul at the end of February and start of March has kept them in the battle for survival.
- Gabriele Moncini is their top scorer and best player, with Mehdi Dorval and Christian Gytkjær providing creativity and spark in midfield.
Reggiana (away)
- Reggiana’s recent form has been poor, which sums up a difficult 2026 to date for the Granata.
- They are currently 18th on 29 points, one point above Bari on 28 points, and a loss on Saturday will put them deeper into the relegation zone.
- Lorenzo Rubinacci has been solid since taking over in February 2026 and has relied on his side remaining compact and tight defensively.
- Manolo Portanova and Tommaso Fumagalli will need to provide the ammunition for the occasional counterattack, but Reggiana’s play has been pragmatic and often uninspiring.
Head-to-Head
Reggiana have a superior head-to-head record against Bari, winning two of the last five Serie B meetings including a 3-1 home win in October 2025.
