Bari take on the visitors Cesena at “Stadio San Nicola” in the opening match of the Italian Serie B. The game will be played on Monday, August 28th.
Last season Bari occupied the 12th place in the Italian Serie B with 53 points gained and 39-44 goal difference. “I Galletti” just stopped playing at the finishing line of the season resulting un eight-clash no-winning series. Bari entered the new season with two victories in the Coppa Italia: 2:1 over Parma and 2:1 over Cremonese, having promoted to the 1/16 stage. Therefore, the hosting side comes up to the new season full of fighting spirit.

Cesena have finished last season sitting close to Bari, namely, on the 13th position with the same 53 points earned and positive 51-48 goal difference. This season “Cavalucci Marini” just like their rival in the forthcoming of the starting battle, have conducted two encounters: in the Coppa Italia the club had knocked out Sambenedettese with 2:1 scoreline and then it left the tournament after 1:2 defeat to Genoa, having lost the away match to the elite division representative only in extra time.
Bari have not been beaten by Cesena across five recent head-to-heads, having got only one single draw and two triumphs. As it can be seen from the starting clashes of the current season, “I Galletti” are quite able to take points from any opponent in face of their supporters. Taking into consideration the head-to-head statistics as well as the first encounters of the current season, I believe that the hosts will be able to pick up three points.
Prediction for the match: Bari to win.
