Bari host Palermo on Friday 30 January 2026 with kick-off at 19:30 GMT, as two familiar rivals meet in Italy’s Serie B. The match takes place at the Stadio San Nicola, where Bari will look to make home advantage count against a Palermo side pushing for promotion momentum. Using Football Park’s data-driven prediction model, the standout angle for this fixture is Both Teams to Score @ 1.95, a selection backed by an 80% probability and reinforced by a projected 1-1 correct score. Built on the same analytical framework used for fixtures such as San Lorenzo vs Velez Sarsfield, this preview highlights why goals at both ends look more likely than a clear winner in what shapes up as a tight, tactical contest.

Bari vs Palermo Previous Meetings

Recent meetings between Bari and Palermo underline how closely matched these sides tend to be. Four of the last five encounters have ended level or been decided by a single goal, including a 1-1 draw in August 2022 and a 2-2 stalemate in April 2021. Even when one side has edged the result, both teams have often found the net, supporting the expectation of another competitive and evenly balanced clash.

Bari vs Palermo Predictions

Football Park’s model strongly favours the draw, rating it at 60%, while Palermo are considered more likely winners than the hosts if the game does tilt either way. Bari’s home win probability is low, but their expected goal output suggests they should still contribute on the scoresheet. Palermo, meanwhile, carry the stronger attacking profile overall, making them well placed to score but not necessarily dominate for 90 minutes.
