With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Pisa fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Cosenza.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pisa and Cosenza.

Cosenza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
