Bari vs Treviso Match preview

Italian Serie B: Bari vs Treviso

After a long time and almost three months Bari lost a game and it was one of the weakest performances Pugliesi ever gave since Antonio Conte came instead of Materazzi. Young coach was not too disappointed after the failure in Ascoli but he warned that none of the players is safe in the next season and that such defeats show on which players coach can count on in the next season. This sounds like a threat, but Bari will have much higher ambitions in the new season so some players are already on their way to leave the club since they didn't show enough quality. Treviso didn’t finish the match in the last round since their duel against Grosseto was ended because a police officer committed suicide and the game was postponed to May 14th.

Bari are making plans for the new season

Pugliesi could get a new owner. They are looking for investors, attempt of the group from Monte Carlo has failed and former Real Madrid president, Carlos Sanz is announced as the possible new owner. Anyway, director Peronetti is already working on keeping the bets players in the team though it is not yet sure whether Lanzafame will stay since he might get back to Juventus, but the names like Moscardelli, Venitucci and several other experienced player are showing how serious the project is. Conte, who extended his contract till the next season insists on experienced players in defense and there is no doubt that the management will take this seriously.

Treviso will hardly avoid play-out

Veneti are one of the biggest surprises of the season, but we have already mentioned that the team expected to be at the top are now a relegation contender. They can hardly stay in the league without the play-out and it is also possible that they will get directly relegated. Pillon is still on the bench and no matter how the season end he will probably leave the club. He left a fine trace in Bari so he perhaps hopes for mercy but anyway if Treviso lose at San Nicola Serie C will become their reality. They play terrible away, the least efficient visitors without a single victory. Their play away comes down to catenaccio and an attempt to keep the opening score.

Betting Verdict

Odds for Bari to win are 2.80 which is outrageous; actually they are a much better side than Treviso and if they play fair Bari will be the favourites in this match. But as usually, there is the theory of conspiracy; Pillon worked in Bari and he has a lot of friends there. A similar thing happened in the game against Ascoli when Treviso won in a very doubtful manner. On the other hand, Conte is known to be very honest and doesn’t agree with the off-pitch deals which caused relegation when he was in Arezzo last year. Anyway, we don't believe that Treviso can win this game. Our choice will be Bari on level ball.

Team news : Kamata, Marchese and Masiello are suspended for Bari. Donda is back. Santoruvo and Rajcic wont play. Treviso will be complete.
