Roma Form
Roma are sixth in the standings with 54 points. In the last five rounds, the capital club have suffered three defeats (one win, one draw), including a 5:2 away loss to Inter at the weekend. Notably, before the meeting with the Milan side, the Romans were among the league’s best teams defensively, but in recent games they have started conceding noticeably more. In attack, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have remained consistent: the team have scored in eight consecutive matches. Overall, after 31 Serie A rounds, the club have 42 goals scored and 28 conceded.
- At least three goals have been scored in six of Roma’s last seven matches.
- In 15 home Serie A games, the club have recorded 10 wins (two draws, three defeats).
- Roma’s scoring run in the league now stands at eight matches.
Potential Roma Lineup (5-4-1)
Mile Svilar – Mario Hermoso, Evan Ndicka, Gianluca Mancini, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Devyne Rensch – Lorenzo Pellegrini, Niccolo Pisilli, Nel El-Enaui, Bryan Cristante – Donyell Malen
Forwards Paulo Dybala, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson are on the injury list.
Pisa Form
Pisa sit bottom of the Serie A table. After 31 rounds, the team have managed only two wins and are 20th with 18 points, nine behind the safety of 17th. Oscar Hiljemark’s men have posted some of the league’s worst numbers both for goals scored (23) and goals conceded (55). Moreover, across the last seven matches, the club have won just once (six defeats) — in a home meeting with Cagliari (3:1) — while in the previous round Pisa lost at home to Torino 1:0. The side have been particularly poor on the road, regularly suffering heavy defeats against clubs from the top half of the table.
- In 15 away matches this season, Pisa have not won once (eight draws, seven defeats).
- In three of the last five Serie A away games, the club have conceded at least four goals.
- Pisa have failed to score in five of their last six league matches.
Potential Pisa Lineup (3-5-2)
Nicolas Lomberts – Simone Canestrelli, Antonio Caracciolo, Rosen Bozhinov – Samuel Iling-Junior, Felipe Loyola, Michel Aebischer, Marius Marin, Mehdi Leris – Filip Stojilkovic, Stefano Moreo
Defender Danil Denon, as well as midfielders Isak Vural and Calvin Stengs, will miss out through injury.
