Struggling Pisa are keen to pull off a surprise win when they welcome top side Como in the next league fixture. It’s 15th vs 6th and the home supporters will have not-so-high confidence.

Insights:
  • Pisa have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Como haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

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

1-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie B numbers at home for Pisa so far this season.

Pisa are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Venezia. Midfielder Valoti was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.35 (out of ten) in that game. Valoti scored one goal and had 37 successful passes (of 45 total).

Before that game, the home loss against Lecco with the scoreline 1-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Pisa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pisa as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Pisa has won 8 of these, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Pisa has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Pisa defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Como form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Como have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far.

Como had fun at their own home (Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani) last time out, beating Catanzaro 1-0. Verdi scored. Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league fixtures without winning. Šemper was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.95. The agile goalkeeper Šemper topped it up with a clean sheet.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Parma wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Como in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Como, 8 draws and 2 defeats.

Como are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Como have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
