Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Pisa in 13th and Chievo in 10th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Pisa form and stats

Pisa have played 11 Serie B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A strong away win for Pisa against Cremonese the last match, as Gaetano Masucci, Mattia Minesso, Eros Pisano and Samuele Birindelli were on target. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Juve Stabia.

The game against Cremonese had lots of late drama as Pisa came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Eros Pisano's goal in the 90th minute. A goal frenzy last time out for Pisa, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Cremonese. Fun stuff to watch! The victory against Cremonese came after Eros Pisano's winning goal. The Pisa manager L. D'Angelo was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 75th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Eros Pisano scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Pisa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost three.

Pisa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. Pisa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 14 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Chievo form and stats

Playing away, Chievo have won 2 games, drawn 6 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie B this season. It's three draws from Chievo's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The manager M. Marcolini was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi. Chievo suffered a 0-1 loss to Venezia (placed 16th). A 1-1 draw at Empoli's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chievo playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Chievo wins, five draws and zero defeats.

Chievo are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 11 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Chievo have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Chievo - Pisa 2-2. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero Pisa victories, three draws and zero Chievo wins. two of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
