Pisa – Como. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Italian championship

On January 6, as part of the next round of Serie A, Pisa will play Como. The match will start at 16:00 Kyiv time.

Pisa

The season for Pisa is difficult, which is not surprising, because the club is a newcomer to the elite division. So far, the team is second to last in the championship, although the gap from the life-saving 17th place is only three points. In the last round, Pisa had a good away match against direct rivals Genoa, drawing 1-1 in the end.

In this Serie A season, the team has won only once, and the team has not won seven meetings in a row. Separately, I would like to note the weak game in the attack, the “towers” scored only one goal in nine matches on their field, with such statistics they will definitely not stay in the strongest division. Cuadrado, Stangs, Vural will miss the upcoming match due to injuries, and Albiol, called up to the Akinsamiro national team, is questionable.

Como

This season, Como is trying to impose competition on the titans of Italian football, so far it’s not bad, because the team is sixth in the standings. The lag behind the first quartet is 3 points, while there is a game in reserve, it is possible to get close to the Champions League zone.

In the last round, Fabregas’ wards defeated Udinese 1:0 on their field, the only goal on Da Cunha’s account, which was scored in the 16th minute from the penalty spot, in general, the victory was well-deserved and became the second in a row. I think that the club is setting itself ambitious goals in order to cling to the European Cup zone. Will not play in this meeting due to injuries: Addai, Goldaniga, Morata and Diao.

Personal meetings

The rivals have met before, but it was in the lower divisions, the last time they played in the 2023/24 Serie I season, when Como drew 1-1 away and won 3-1 at home.

Forecast

Como looks an order of magnitude better, so he is rightly cited as the favorite for this meeting. Pisa is not impressive at home, and here is also an opponent with a strong defense. I don’t think that the teams will be able to pamper themselves with productive football. Pisa can put up a decent resistance, but I think the visitors will manage to win, and I’ll bet on that at 1.73.
