Pescara
- Both teams have scored in each of Pescara’s last two Serie B games.
- Pescara have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches, Bari have won two, drawn two and lost one.
- With Pescara currently sitting in 20th with 22 points from 28 games and Bari in 17th on 28 from the same number of matches, both sides are fighting for their lives in the second division of Italian soccer.
- Giorgio Gorgone has been pragmatic in his approach since taking over at Pescara in November 2025, emphasizing a compact shape, an ability to control the risk on the ball and a capacity to play transitions wisely, but rarely with more than a low-to-moderate amount of pressing.
- Pescara are likely to come out in a 3-4-2-1 or a 3-4-1-2, with a focus on not giving the opponent easy chances to counter.
- The home side are averaging 1.29 goals per game at home, but are conceding 1.57.
Bari
- Moreno Longo’s side have found some form of late with two consecutive wins coming into this fixture.
- A 2-0 away win at Sampdoria was followed by a 2-1 home victory over Empoli.
- Bari set up in a similar way to Pescara, favouring a three-man defense and a possession-based approach where they’re patient and build from the back, but they also have the ability to play vertical soccer and they look to get numbers forward down the wings with their wing-backs.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between these sides finished 1-1 at Bari’s Stadio San Nicola in Serie B just two months ago.
Key Players
- Antonio Di Nardo is the talisman for the hosts with nine Serie B goals this season and four of the team's last seven goals.
- Gabriele Moncini has been Bari’s danger man with seven Serie B goals from 27 appearances in 2025-2026, but Emanuele Rao has chipped in with two goals from Bari’s last five games.
