Hellas Verona vs Pisa Sporting Club: Match Prediction
Both sides have changed coaches in tandem after prolonged winless runs in the league. Given that turn of events, the outcome of the upcoming match could be anything. The home team have struggled to produce positive results even with home advantage, while the visitors are yet to win away from home this season. The teams are also united by defensive issues, which the new managers are unlikely to fix quickly. With that in mind, we suggest focusing on the match's goal potential.
The clubs are among the three worst sides for goals conceded. Hellas Verona have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 straight Serie A matches, and in seven games during that run they conceded at least twice. At the same time, the hosts scored in six of their last eight home league matches. Pisa Sporting Club have not recorded a single clean sheet away from home this season, and in eight matches the club have conceded at least two goals. Meanwhile, in terms of away goals scored, the away side are in the tournament's top six.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
