Prediction Virtus Entella vs Bari 1908 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Serie B on 30/09/2025

Match outlook: Shape, stakes and setting

Chiavari will host a confrontation that smells of opportunity for the home side. Virtus Entella, lining up at the intimate Stadio Comunale Chiavari, arrive after a late setback at Avellino on September 27 but remain the steadier outfit on paper. Entella sit 14th with five points from five games, a modest return that masks a team able to grind out results at home; their season to date reads one win, two draws and two defeats, with a single clean sheet and a tight defensive output at the Comunale. Bari 1908, meanwhile, travel in desperate search of form. Rooted to 18th with just two points, Bari have failed to win in the opening five and have shipped nine goals already — a defensive ledger that will worry their supporters heading into this fixture.

Recent form and what it means

The recent run for both sides tells a clear tale. Virtus Entella’s most recent loss to Avellino came after a mixed spell that included a narrow 1-0 victory over Mantova and a pair of 1-1 draws earlier in the campaign; Tommaso Fumagalli was noted as Entella’s standout performer in that defeat, a sign that individual sparks remain present even when results go against them. Bari saved some pride with a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria in their last outing — Mehdi Dorval earning the match’s best rating — but that result papered over more troubling performances before it, with heavy defeats at Palermo and Modena and no clean sheets to their name. Statistically the visitors generate more total attacks per game, yet they have been more porous at the back, conceding heavily especially away from home. Entella’s defensive metrics and slightly superior home rhythm should give them the edge.

Tactical texture and probable script

Expect a contest where Entella try to control tempo through structured attacks and tighter defensive transitions; their averages for dangerous attacks hint at an ability to create high-quality opportunities without overexposing themselves. Bari, pushed into chasing games recently, will probe and attempt to unsettle that structure, but their inability to convert pressure into points and the frequency with which they concede make them the more vulnerable side. Historical context is limited between these clubs, but the bookmakers’ pricing reflects the picture: the home win is the likeliest outcome according to market odds.

Betting suggestion: With both form and market view aligning, the clearest option is a straight 1X2 selection. Back Virtus Entella to win at 2.10. The home side’s slightly better balance, the defensive fragility shown by Bari across five matches, and Entella’s capacity to turn home chances into narrow victories make the single-game home win the most sensible pick from the available markets.
