Pisa vs Atalanta: Match Prediction
Pisa have offered little attacking threat at home this season: across ten home league matches the home side has scored only one goal, and that strike came against another newly promoted team, Cremonese. On the other hand, the hosts have not been regularly porous at the back: in seven home games this campaign Pisa conceded more than one goal on only three occasions.
Atalanta have also lacked attacking efficiency on the road: in seven recent away league matches the visitors have scored more than one goal only once. At the same time, the club have been relatively solid defensively away from home: in their last 25 Serie A away matches the side conceded more than one goal on only three occasions.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
