4 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Pisa have to build on here at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani in the Serie B. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani, but a victory now would be sweet for Pisa.

Pisa faced defeat in their previous match, away at Empoli (1-2). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Chievo.
