Form & Streaks

Pisa are winless in their last 10 Serie A matches (0W, 4D, 6L).

Bologna have won 4 successive matches across all competitions.

Bologna have won 5 of their last 10 away matches in Serie A.

Pisa have lost 6 of their last 10 matches at home in the league.

Tactical Overview

The gulf in class is evident in the season-long metrics, where Pisa has managed a dismal 0.31 goals per game across 13 Serie A home matches. Manager Oscar Hiljemark has openly questioned his squad's mentality, and a record of 0 wins in their last 10 league games (0W, 4D, 6L) suggests the rot is deep. In contrast, Bologna has mastered the art of the road trip, securing a 1.8 PPG average in their last 10 league away fixtures. Their recent 2-1 win over Torino and two 1-0 victories over Brann and Udinese highlight a side that knows how to grind out results. Pisa will likely retreat into a 3-5-2 to protect goalkeeper Nicolas, but their -0.78 xG difference suggests they are consistently losing the battle for quality chances. Bologna should dominate the ball, leveraging Lewis Ferguson and Remo Freuler to bypass a Pisa midfield that has struggled to provide cover for a defense that conceded 21 goals in its last 10 outings.
