Bari will be looking to keep alive their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Italian second division at the end of the campaign when they play host to Parma on Wednesday evening.

The hosts came very close to achieving promotion last season, when they finished in third place before failing to make it through the promotion playoffs. Luca D'Angelo’s side were expected to build on that this season, but they have done the opposite, with the team languishing in the relegation zone.

With the visitors five points clear of second place Como in the standings, they will certainly been promoted to the Italian top flight at the end of the season, but head coach Fabio Pecchia will want his side to have a strong end to the season. The visitors are without defeat in four games and tipped to at least extend this run, having won each of their last two meetings with i Galletti.

Bari vs Parma Calcio 1913 Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals

One of the measure reasons why Bari are in the relegation battle is their defence. The Cockerels enter Wednesday’s game with a run of ten consecutive clean sheets, but they conceded more than one goal in just half of those fixtures. Bets on Under 2.5 goals were won in six of those fixtures.

Another reason to expect a close game is the fact that Parma Calcio have been very solid defensively of late. The visitors didn’t concede any goal in their last four fixtures, and just one of those games produced more than two goals.
