Bologna vs Pisa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-04 13:00.
[p]Bologna will fancy their chances of climbing the Serie A table by taking all three points as they face struggling Pisa on Sunday.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After conceding a 94th-minute equaliser at Lecce last Sunday, Bologna, who also drew with Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, will now be looking for a win to claim ten points from their first six matches in a Serie A season for the first time since 2016/17. Their home form suggests that there is a good chance of achieving that, as they have lost at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara just once in the league this calendar year (W9, D3), with only Roma and Juventus having taken more points in 2025 as hosts in the division. The Rossoblù needed a 99th-minute penalty to beat Genoa in their last home league game, meaning that six of their last seven Serie A wins at home have come by a single-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Pisa begin this matchday in the bottom three and are still looking for their first league win of the season (D2, L3) following a goalless draw against Fiorentina. If the Tuscans fail to pick up maximum points once more this weekend, they will have equalled their poor starts from the 1983/84 and 1988/89 campaigns, when they remained winless in their opening six Serie A games. In all competitions, Alberto Gilardino’s men have not recorded a victory in any of their last six matches, including three away from home (D1, L2)![/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first top-flight H2H since 1990/91, when Pisa were unbeaten in both such games (W1, D1), although it is Bologna who avoided defeat in the three meetings this century (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Bologna have failed to score before half-time in their last six Serie A home games.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]There are seemingly no new injuries for Bologna, but Michel Aebischer is a doubt for Pisa ahead of what is a potential return to his parent club.[/p]
