Bari 1908 form and stats

6-7-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Bari 1908 so far this season.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Bari 1908, as their goalkeeper Elia Caprile has completely shut out the opponents for 251 minutes in the Serie B.

Bari 1908 enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Südtirol's place. The match ended 1-0 with Morachioli scoring. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Mignani when Morachioli scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. Defender Vicari got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.42/10. Vicari won 7 of 9 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Benevento in a game that was won 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bari have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

It should be added that a glance at the 13 latest league games shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The Bari 1908 fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 26 goals in 16 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Como form and stats

Como have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-8-6 (16 played).

There were no winners in Como's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Genoa (placed 2nd). Como's last match (vs Genoa) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 88th minute equalizer by Mancuso. As mentioned above, Como drew the match against Genoa. Manager Longo brought on Mancuso to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Attacker Cerri got a player rating of 8.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Cerri served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Venezia wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Como are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

As for defending, Como rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 24 goals from these away matches.
