Statistical analysis points to balanced chances for both teams, arguing for a draw. Bari 1908 occupies a weak 19th position in the table, but performs slightly better at home with 38% draws on their own turf and a -4 goal difference. Empoli, despite a higher position (11th place), has very poor away form with 58% losses and only 8% draws on the road, conceding an average of 1.75 goals per match. The recent form of both teams is unsatisfactory – Bari has earned just 1 point per match in the last 5 encounters, and Empoli only 0.6 points. Close xG values (Bari 1.24 vs Empoli 1.18) and similar offensive efficiency suggest that neither team has a clear advantage, making a draw the most probable result of this meeting.
