Cagliari vs Bari Prediction and Betting Tips | June 8th 2023

FC Internazionale v Cagliari Calcio - Serie A
Cagliari will meet Bari in the Serie A playoffs on Thursday

Cagliari will welcome Bari to the Sardegna Arena in the first leg of the Serie B playoffs final on Thursday.

The hosts secured their place in the final with a 3-2 win over Parma. They played out a goalless draw on Sunday, so a 3-2 away win in the first leg was enough for the win. The visitors were held to a 1-1 draw on aggregate by Sudtirol and progressed to the final thanks to their third-place finish in Serie B during the regular season.

The hosts were relegated to Serie B just last season and will look to return to the top flight. The visitors gained promotion from Serie C to Serie B just last season and are hopeful to make it to Serie A for the first time since their restructuring in 2018.

One of their two home defeats this season came against Bari in September. They have won five of their last six home meetings against the visitors and are expected to have the upper hand in this match.

Claudio Ranieri's men have been in solid form at the moment and considering their home advantage, we are backing them to eke out a narrow win.
