On Stadio Renza Barbera,so on my lovely stadium Palermo will play with Bari.Palermo after two rounds in Italy,they lost with Viola in last round and earlier they won with Napoli.Today will play with new promoted team in Serie A.Palermo in this season after being linked with the managerial job at Lazio it was revealed that Zenga had agreed a three-year contract with Palermo to replace outgoing manager Davide Ballardini,the move was hailed as a massive surprise due to the rosanero club being rumoured to be interested in several other managers and the bitter rivalry between Palermo and Zenga's former team Catania, which are also the only two Sicilian teams playing in the Italian top flight.Zenga he will play today with 4-3-1-2 formation.Cavani and Miccoli they will play once again as the most moved ahead players.Midfield line-ip should be also very experienced with Javier Pastore,before his move to Palermo, the player was also linked to number of other top European clubs, including Manchester United, F.C. Porto and AC Milan.Palermo formally announced to have completed the signing of Pastore for five years until 2014, with the transfer fee being about $8 million.Mark Bresciano,Manuele Blasi,Antonio Nocerino also they will play in midfield.Manuele Blasi is a really interesting new player in Palermo as Pastore,Palermo loaned him from Napoli,some time ago also he was suspended due to test positive for nandrolone.Manuele Blasi also has been playing for the Italian national team.Option with Nicolas Bertolo ex-Banfield player in midfield is also sounds good but Zenga give a chance today for Nocerino.Mattia Cassani,Simon Kjar,Cesare Bovo,Federico Balzaretti will play in defence.This is solid line up actually,especially 'Balzac' is very strong in this formation.Palermo also they have option with experienced Romanian player Dorin Goian in defence but Zenga this time he is holding it on bench.
Bari they drew two games in this season.With Inter on San Siro 1-1 and with Bologna on Stadio San Nicola in last round 0-0.Stadio San Nicola is a really beatifull stadium,the stadium holds almost 60,000 people,but has never been filled to capacity for a match,if Bari farther it will be showing the so good form soon it will change.Biancorossi in my opinion, acted very unjustly,letting the author of the promotion of this team walk away to Serie A, Anotnio Conte.This is a strange decision for me,after weeks of rumours linking Conte to the vacant managerial role at Juventus, he agreed in principle for a contract extension to keep him at Bari for the new season, however, on June Bari announced to have rescinded the contract with Antonio Conte by mutual consent.Giampiero Ventura new coach here,and his first game as Bari-coach was against Inter, which ended positive in a 1-1 draw.Ventura after very good season in Pisa,ended with Pisa unexpectedly playing in the promotion playoffs,this time he must prove something more.Also Stefano Guberti,very good player in Bari in last season he walked away to Roma.Today Ventura will use standard formation 4-4-2 with Riccardo 'Meggio' Meggiorini and Vitali Kutuzov.Kutuzov has over 40 caps for the Belarus national football team,Meggio he scored 33 goals in 72 matches for Cittadella.This duet will be very dangerous in my eyes.Edgar Alvarez,which is known for his searing pace and acceleration, both on and off the ball. He is also very agile, making him very hard to mark for defenders,Daniele De Vezze ex-Livorno player,Alessandro Gazzi,Riccardo Allegretti they will play in midfield.So this formation will be without any changes after match with Bologna two weeks ago.Ferdinando Sforzini won't play today because he get red card in match with Bologna,this is very young player,he has only 23 years but this is a good option for both attackers in Bari.Ventura he also has option with very good Barreto and Antonio Langella in attack.For me Bari have very nice squad in Serie A with many experienced players,in defence they will play Salvatore Masiello,but this is a more offenisve role in Bari he has more defensive objectives,Leonardo Bonucci ex-Pisa player,Andrea Ranocchia which is on loan from Genoa and Andrea Masiello he will be last defender today.Jean-Francois Gillet,Belgium national player, which he is currently the thrird most capped player for Bari of all time, for a total of 280 games of course is a solid point in entrance.He is highly regarded at Bari as one of the team mainstays, and was often linked with several top Serie A clubs, but his love for Bari has so far prevented him from leaving the club.After 30 years the Matarese family gave the power up in the club,seized her a Texan businessman Timoti Barton,which for 25 million he bought majority package.Alessio Mora, Salvatore Matarrese they assure that it is the right decision.
For me Bari they have good striker and Palermo it will have big problems here with promoted team.Miccoli,Cavani or Kutuzov,Meggiorini,I think the second option will be more attractive and for me Bari won't lose here.
