"Starting with the hosts, while Palermo might have been left hugely frustrated last season as they eventually missed out on a play-off ticket, it is no secret that Filippo Inzaghi's men are regarded as a standout promotion contender this season. Putting seven points on the board from their first three Serie B showdowns, the Eagles open this weekend's fixtures with just their goal difference keeping them off top spot."
"As for the visitors, while Palermo might have enjoyed a sensational start to the new campaign, Bari find themselves in the midst of what has been a worrying rut. Marking their return from September's fortnight interval with a woeful 3-0 drumming at the hands of Modena, Fabio Caserta's side are sat in the relegation zone and have managed to put just a single point on the board from any of their first three Serie B appearances."
Palermo have started the Serie B season strongly under Filippo Inzaghi, collecting seven points from three matches and sitting just behind the leaders on goal difference. The Eagles won 2-0 at Sudtirol after a 2-1 opening-day victory over Reggiana and have registered consecutive clean sheets. Palermo's home form is impressive, with only one home defeat since returning from March international fixtures. Bari have struggled, earning just one point from three games and occupying a relegation position after a 3-0 loss to Modena and a 2-1 opening defeat at Venezia. Defensive instability and poor form plague Bari.
