The match between Bari and Sampdoria is pivotal in the Serie B season, with both teams looking to solidify their positions. Bari, playing at home, will aim to leverage their slightly better possession stats and defensive solidity, having conceded fewer goals on average than Sampdoria. Meanwhile, Sampdoria will look to capitalize on their higher goal-scoring rate and slightly better offensive metrics. The venue, Bari's home ground, could provide the hosts with a slight edge, but Sampdoria's resilience on the road cannot be underestimated.
