Bari travel to the Stadio Carlo Castellani this Sunday evening to face an Empoli side who have hopes of securing a playoff position in Serie B. Empoli are currently 4th in the table and even though a win will not improve their league position, it will give them a very good chance of securing a playoff position and give them the opportunity of promotion into Serie A. Bari are currently 19th, just four points from the relegation zone and a win will see them go 13th.
Current form:
Empoli – W D W W W D D
Bari – W D W W L L D
Empoli are unbeaten in their last seven while Bari have lost just two in seven, one defeat coming against high flyers Verona in February.
Current betting odds: Empoli (21/20) Draw (11/5) Bari (14/5)
Gamingtips Prediction – Empoli 0:1 Bari
On paper, Empoli seem huge at odds of 21/20 but Serie B is a very competitive league and there is really only a couple of losses separating these two sides. Empoli are almost guaranteed a playoff position while Bari must win to push clear of the relegation zone and given the fact that both sides are in very good form, odds of 14/5 about Bari seem very reasonable.
