Bari, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Spezia will not have sat easily with the Bari squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Spezia who had 18 attempts and 2 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 8 home league games.
Giuseppe Sibilli will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Bari.
Cosenza, Recent FormCosenza will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Parma with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to Parma, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Fabio Caserta will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Bari.
The Bruzi defence has struggled against Bari in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games. Bari have managed to keep a clean sheet against Cosenza in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, I Galletti's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Cosenza will have to take their chances when they come.
Bari will be looking to continue their winning streak against Cosenza having won in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With no real injury worries, Bari manager Pasquale Marino will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cosenza manager Fabio Caserta has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
