The story so far in the Serie B for Pisa at their home stadium (Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani) is 6 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. Two draws in a row at home now for Pisa.

Pisa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Monza's place. The match ended 2-1 with Pușcaș scoring. Mastinu, who usually features in attack, was the top player for the side in that match, collecting a rating of 7.53 (out of 10).

Vázquez, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.42. Vázquez scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Cremonese wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
