Analysis;

Catabia are struggling in Serie A and now they face tough opposition in Bari when they go head to head at the Angelo Massimino stadium. Bari on the other hand are coming into this match in poor form and cannot afford another defeat as well.

Last weekend, Catania were beaten by A.S Roma 1-0 despite doing well throughout the game. Despite a good run since the arrival of Sinisa Mihajlovic they still find themselves battling against relegation.

As for the visitors Bari, they are struggling at the moment and they have collected four defeats in their last five games. Last weekend, they suffered a 2-0 home loss at the hands of Milan. However, the management decided to renew Coach Giampiero Ventura 's contract as they thought the team did well and Milan were the better team on the day.

As with regards to the team news, Mihajlovic has problems as star player Giuseppe Mascara is suspended. That means that Jorge Martinez will take his place. Matias Silvestre is still doubtful and Christian Terlizzi should therefore come into the side at his expense.Ezequiel Carboni is back after injury and he should regain his spot in midfield.

Bari is not expected to make much changes from last weekend. That means that Gazzi should partner Massimo Donati in midfield. Paulo Barreto will be confirmed up front despite missi ng a penalty against Milan. Riccardo Meggiorini may not make it, he picked up an injury following a clash with Gennaro Gattuso, so Pedro Kamata is on stand-by if he fails to recover in time.

Go for this clash to end in a draw.

Cheers and good luck,
