Parma take on the visitors Bari in the round 1 match of Italian Serie B. The match will be played on Friday, August 12th at Stadio Ennio Tardini (Parma).
Parma was disappointing last season. The “Crusaders” some of years ago were considered almost contenders for European competition. But the legendary project has new owners - quite generous, but at the same time they decided to replace D'Aversa, who worked well for 4 seasons as a coach, with Liverani. The result was a series of rotations, with a fall into Serie B. Moreover, in it, despite the return of the legendary Buffon, it turned out to take only 12th place - and after all, they were waiting for a fight for a return to Calcio! They believe that the new mentor, Pecchia (formerly a very smart player) will cope, at the same time they seriously changed the line-up. Having released a number of players led by Kutskaya, they bought newcomers for 15 million – serious sum for a second division.

Bari are finally back in Serie B. They are remembered as a team that played in Calcio, albeit without much success. But in 2018, due to financial problems, the project was relegated to the 4th division, at the same time taking away its professional status. It was there that De Laurentiis acquired it. Aurelio promised to return the club to Serie A as quickly as possible. But only now it turned out at least to rise to the 2nd football league of the country. An excellent result of the first year of work as head coach of a 50-year-old specialist, Minyani. It is clear that under the new challenges they tried to strengthen the squad, including by renting players from another, more famous project of De Laurentiis - Napoli. But it is clear that for now the main task of Bari will simply be to survive in Serie B.
The last time the clubs played each other was in 2017-2018. Then Bari won in the cup, but in Serie B, Parma took 4 points in 2 matches. Parma is obliged to spend this season much stronger than the previous one. Moreover, the start is as convenient as possible: at home against a newly promoted side. We bet on the victory of Buffon and company.
Prediction for the match: Parma to win.
