Verona
The team lost away to Cagliari in the previous round (0:4). That was already Verona’s sixth defeat in their last eight Serie A matches (2 draws), and in five games during that spell the club failed to find the net at all. What is more, Verona have already gone 11 games without scoring in the current league campaign, and only Parma (12) and Lecce (13) have a worse figure. At the same time, the team have the worst defensive record in the division with 41 goals conceded. With 14 points, Verona sit bottom of the standings.
The club’s management has dismissed head coach Paolo Zanetti. Paolo Sammarco has been appointed as caretaker.

Pisa

However, it is worth noting that for the first time this season Pisa have scored in four consecutive games. Even so, the club have only 18 goals to their name, leaving them among the bottom four for scoring.

Verona vs Pisa: Match Prediction
Both sides have changed coaches in sync after extended winless runs in the league. Against that backdrop, the outcome of the upcoming match could go either way. Moreover, home advantage has not helped Verona produce positive results, while Pisa have yet to win on the road this season. The teams are also united by their defensive problems, which the new bosses are unlikely to fix quickly. That is why it is worth focusing on the game’s goal output.
The clubs are among the bottom three for goals conceded. Verona have failed to keep a clean sheet for 10 straight Serie A matches, and in seven games during that stretch they allowed at least two goals. At the same time, the team have scored in 6 of their last 8 home league matches. Pisa do not have a single clean sheet away from home this season, and in eight matches the club have conceded at least twice. Meanwhile, in terms of goals scored away from home, the team rank in the tournament’s top six.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
