2.25Tip and bets
After three defeats in a row, Palermo has fallen to 12th place in the table and this state of affairs certainly cannot suit the Sicilians. The Eagles will clearly have no problems with motivation today and no other result than victory will suit them. The hosts are quite capable of achieving their goal - Bari is not a walkover opponent, but has looked very weak lately, having managed to lose even to Südtirol at home, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Palermo victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on total
"Palermo", without a doubt, will be in a very determined mood today and will certainly put serious pressure on Bari not very reliable defense from the very first minutes. It will be almost impossible for the "roosters" to play reliably in Sicily; recently, they have been making costly mistakes regularly. At the same time, "Bari" has experienced players of a very solid level up front, they are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Palermo are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
