Pisa vs. Verona: Match Prediction
Both teams rank among the least productive in this Serie A season, with Pisa scoring three goals and Verona only twice. The hosts failed to breach the defenses of Fiorentina and Bologna in their last two matches. Furthermore, Alberto Gilardino's side has not scored in any of their three home matches this season.
Verona struggles to find the back of the net, particularly on the road. In their last 13 away Serie A games, the team scored more than once only once, and failed to score in seven of those matches. However, they have shown defensive resilience, conceding a maximum of one goal in 6 of their last 8 away league games.
I expect a low-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
