It will also be Allegri's second spell as AC Milan coach, eleven years after his first stint, although the Tuscan coach will be watching the match from the stands due to suspension. Bari, led by new coach Caserta, who has just returned from an excellent stint at Catanzaro, are coming to San Siro. The Apulian side are dreaming of a major breakthrough at the top of the league. If the match is tied after 90 minutes, the match will go straight to penalties without extra time.
