Pisa vs Verona prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-17 13:00.
[p]Two of the four remaining Serie A sides yet to win in this campaign will be on view as Pisa host Hellas Verona on matchday seven.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Pisa lost 4-0 at Bologna to head into the international break at the bottom of the standings. The newcomers also registered their first six-game winless start (D2, L4) to a Serie A campaign since 1988/89, a season in which they would be relegated. To avoid repeating that in 2025/26, Alberto Gilardino’s side needs to continue improving at both ends of the pitch, with only one side scoring fewer goals or conceding more at the start of the round. Whilst only two of their ten goals conceded were at home (D1, L2), Pisa’s supporters have not yet been able to celebrate a single goal at the Arena Garibaldi.[/p]
[p]Verona are hoping for a circuit breaker after losing three consecutive competitive matches, including two in Serie A without scoring. They stand as the only team with fewer goals (two) than Pisa and so it’s little wonder that they too spent the break in the relegation zone (D3, L3). They also face ominous history as they have collected just a single point from their first three away trips of a Serie A campaign for the first time since their relegation-bound season in 2015/16, and Paolo Zanetti can’t even bank on a positive result here given the Gialloblù have failed to win each of their last five top-flight games against newly promoted sides (D4, L1). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first H2H since March 2017. Verona have avoided defeat in 11 of their 12 top-flight matches against Pisa (W8, D3) while keeping eight clean sheets.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Pisa have conceded exactly once in eight of their last 13 home competitive fixtures.[/p]
[p]Eight of Pisa’s last ten competitive games with a winner were decided by a one-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Verona are the only side yet to score in the first 40 minutes of play in this league campaign.[/p]
[p]Verona have conceded the most goals (three) inside the first ten minutes during this league season.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Pisa captain Antonio Caracciolo played more than 80 games for Verona and won’t be short of motivation to drag his team over the line, having last defeated his former employers in the 2010/11 Serie C season! Verona’s Gift Orban appears to have the ‘gift’ of being the last scorer, having done so with his last four personal goals, including an equaliser in a draw with Juventus.[/p]
[p]Pisa’s Idrissa Touré is suspended after being sent off against Bologna, while Michel Aebischer missed that game and could undergo a late fitness test. Verona have no new fitness concerns, while Al Musrati could be evaluated close to kickoff.[/p]
