A good away victory last time out for Frosinone, who won 3-0 against Reggina (placed 2nd). Insigne, a forward, was the declared top performer for the team in that match, and was presented with a rating of 8.04 (out of 10). Insigne scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Pisa form and stats

Pisa have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 1-5-2 (8 played). In general it has been a productive period now for Pisa as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Pisa goalkeeper Alessandro Livieri is eager to challenge this, with his 225 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Pisa had fun at their own home (Stadio Benito Stirpe) last time out, beating Ascoli 2-0. Torregrossa and Canestrelli scored. Torregrossa, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.84. Torregrossa scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Pisa travelled to Bari 1908 and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

Pisa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats. From a total of 18 matches.

Pisa are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Pisa have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
