Bari vs. Mantova Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Bari and Mantova, taking place on Saturday, 14 September 2024, at Stadio San Nicola in Bari.
Bari, Recent Form
Last time out for Bari resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Sampdoria in a match they really wanted to win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 25 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Sampdoria, who had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Moreno Longo will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stadio San Nicola.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Mantova, Recent Form
Mantova will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Salernitana. In that game they recorded 55 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 5 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Bari vs. Mantova Head to head
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Bari produced a comfortable 0-2 victory.
I Virgiliani have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Bari. On each of the last 2 outings between Mantova and Bari in the league, I Virgiliani have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Mantova have struggled to break down the I Galletti defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Mantova have lost the last 2 times they've faced Bari in the league and have failed to win in their last 4 encounters.
