Pisa vs Como: Match Prediction
Pisa’s home scoring is at a very low level. The team has scored only one goal in nine home matches in this Serie A season, and that goal came against Cremonese – another newcomer to the Italian top flight. On the other hand, the club’s cautious style does not allow opponents to create many chances – the home side has not conceded more than one goal in 7 of 9 matches at its ground in the current championship.
Como are not consistently effective in attack and prefer to prioritise defensive solidity. In the last 11 away Serie A matches the visiting team only three times scored more than one goal, and in five of those matches it failed to score at all. At the same time, the club defends well: in 12 of its last 13 away league games Como conceded a maximum of one goal.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from its previous match in this competition.
