Bari-Cosenza and Pisa-Ascoli are valid for the 18th day of the Serie B championship: where to watch them on TV and streaming, probable formations and predictions
The defeat against Spezia plunged Bari fans back into despair, who until now have seen a team unable to score points consistently and finding itself out of the playoffs when, at the beginning of the season, the technical goals were other. Not even the change of coach has borne fruit as hoped, and against Cosenza even Marino is playing for the bench.
A non-win could put an end to the experience of the coach who took Mignani’s place. That is why the match at the San Nicola is very important, even for the guests of Caserta who, yes, drew against Parma but did so with a numerical superiority that lasted almost the entire match. In short, the glass in this case is half-empty for the Calabrians, who after a really important start to the championship have lost steam.
There are some very important points for salvation in Pisa-Ascoli. The Tuscans come to this match after two defeats in a row against Catanzaro and Palermo but, especially in this last outing they did not lose with merit. Aquilani’s men would certainly have deserved more. Against Breda’s Bianconeri, who instead beat Catanzaro, it will not be an easy match. But the hosts start slightly ahead.
Bari-Cosenza prediction
The match between Bari and Cosenza is one that not only puts important points up for grabs for both but also certainly puts both benches on the line. For Cosenza, a draw on a difficult field like the one in Puglia could be enough and be fine, and Caserta could prepare it precisely to go home with at least a point. X match, then.

BARI (4-3-3): Brenno; Dorval, Di Cesare, Vicari, Ricci; Acampora, Benali, Mattia; Aramu, Nasti, Sibilli.
