Pisa Form and Lineup
Pisa appear to have finally resigned themselves to imminent relegation and are now merely handing out points to their opponents. The hosts are on a run of five consecutive defeats with a combined score of 1:12. In the previous round the team failed to cope with fellow strugglers Parma (0:1), showing that even when they are given a chance to score, they are unlikely to take it (1.71 xG).

Pisa concede more goals than any other team in the Serie A (1.8).
Pisa rank 15th for expected goals (35.2) and 18th for shots on target (2.8).

Lecce Form and Lineup
Lecce are doing everything possible to retain their place in the Serie A. Two consecutive draws allowed the guests to move out of the relegation zone, although their advantage is only one point.
