Bari vs Palermo Prediction & Betting Tips (19 August)

From the top of his 17 units last year and his place on the podium of the best scorers in the championship, Mirco Antenucci has already planted during the 1st day and he should be established with his friend Walid Cheddira, impressive in the Cup. Italy with 5 pawns in 2 games. Midfielder Ruben Botta (4 goals last year) has returned this season. The trio of Italian, Errico (4 pawns last year), Simeri (4 units) and Scavone (4 achievements) are all very uncertain for tonight while the Terranova frame will be aligned in the 11.

Top scorer in this squad last year, Matteo Brunori (29 goals) remained in the Sicilian ship, as did striker Edoardo Soleri (12 goals). Absent against Torino in the cup, the offensive Nicola Valente (7 units last year) will be in the game for this meeting.
