BARI, Italy (Interstat) — Bari hosts Suditrol on Friday, May 15, 2026, in a Serie B matchup between two clubs desperate to reverse recent form at the Stadio San Nicola.

The home side, coming off a confidence-building 2-0 victory over Virtus Entella on May 1, has been wildly inconsistent this season. Bari’s schedule has been a study in extremes: Wins against Reggiana (4-1) and Modena (3-1) have been overshadowed by heavy defeats, including a 4-0 loss at Pescara and a 3-0 home drubbing by Venezia. Bari has lost four of its last six matches overall.

Suditrol arrives needing a sharper result following a 1-0 defeat at Sampdoria on May 1. The road team’s season has been a persistent struggle, having lost seven of its last 10 games. A 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Spezia on April 18 and a 3-0 loss at Mantua on April 25 highlight the defensive fragility that has plagued the visitors.

The teams last met on Dec. 13, 2025, at Suditrol, where they played to a scoreless draw. In that contest, neither side found a breakthrough, with both defenses holding firm.

A game simulation by Interstat projects a 1-1 draw, suggesting a tightly contested, low-scoring affair.

Bari’s recent home form has been unpredictable; the club lost its last two home matches, falling 2-0 to AC Monza and 2-0 to Avellino in late April. Suditrol, meanwhile, has managed just two draws in its last six away fixtures.

Both teams sit in the middle and lower reaches of the Serie B standings, making this fixture significant for momentum. A point would help either side separate from the relegation scrap, while a victory could provide a springboard for a late-season push.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. local time.
