Pisa vs AS Roma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-08-29 18:45.
[p]Pisa’s first home match since returning to Serie A pits them against Roma, their last home opponents in the top-flight back in May 1991.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Pisa held Atalanta to a creditable 1-1 draw last weekend in their first match back in Serie A in 34 years. Combined with their Coppa Italia win over Cesena on penalties after a 0-0 draw in regulation time, it’s clear that Alberto Gilardino’s men have strong defensive foundations to build on. Pisa will be looking to keep the positivity flowing against the iconic backdrop of the Leaning Tower as they aim to build momentum in what will undoubtedly be a season-long race against relegation.[/p]
[p]Gian Piero Gasperini’s debut in the Roma dugout ended in a 1-0 win over Bologna, continuing the momentum built by Claudio Ranieri last season. That victory took their Serie A points tally in 2025 to 52, at least eight more than any other side in the division at the end of the previous round. The red-hot Giallorossi have been beaten just once in 23 league outings (W17, D5), so are understandably big favourites to open a season with back-to-back Serie A wins for just the third time in 11 seasons.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first meeting of the sides since 1991. Roma have dominated the fixture historically, winning ten of the 14 H2Hs in Serie A (D2, L2) – no side has beaten Pisa more in the top-flight.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Four of Pisa’s last six league games have seen at least one goal scored beyond the 80th minute.[/p]
[p]None of Pisa’s last six league matches were decided by greater than a one-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Seven of Roma’s last nine league wins came by a 1-0 scoreline.[/p]
[p]Seven of Roma’s last eight away league matches produced under 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Pisa’s Juan Cuadrado assisted a goal against Roma in a 2-0 win for Atalanta last season, playing under Gasperini – he’s never scored in 24 previous H2Hs. Mile Svilar stands in his way here having kept more clean sheets in 2025 than any other goalkeeper in Europe’s top-five leagues (12).[/p]
[p]Pisa are likely to miss Daniel Denoon who picked up an injury against Atalanta. Roma do not have any new injuries from the first match.[/p]

[p]Pisa’s performance against Atalanta showed that they are ready to hold their own against top opposition. They may fancy keeping Roma’s attack quiet and under 2.5 goals could be a pick worth exploring.[/p]
