Pisa vs Como prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-05 14:00.
[p]Arena Garibaldi last hosted an Italian top-flight meeting between Pisa and Como in 1988/89, a season in which both were relegated, but only the hosts are in danger of going down this term with Como inside the top six.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Pisa have collected one-sixth of their Serie A points this season across their last three games by drawing twice (L1), but unless they can drastically turn around their fortunes, they’re facing a battle for survival for the rest of the campaign. A seven-match winless run (D3, L4) suggests there’s little chance of a turnaround happening any time soon, and three successive home defeats without scoring are even more concerning. Scoring has been a long-standing issue for Pisa, particularly on home soil, where they’ve netted only one home league goal all season, which makes their six-point haul from those games (W1, D3, L5) somewhat surprising.[/p]
[p]The impressive rise of Como continues as they enter this fixture in sixth place and on target for European qualification after beating Udinese 1-0 on Saturday to make it two consecutive league wins without conceding. The Lariani have swiftly moved on from their two-game losing run just before Christmas and fans will have been heartened to hear manager Cesc Fàbregas emphatically distance himself from speculation linking him with the Chelsea job. He is instead focusing on generating momentum on the road as his side have only won two of their last seven away league fixtures (D3, L2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Como are unbeaten across the last four H2Hs (W1, D3), although Pisa haven’t lost to Como here since 2000 (W2, D4).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Pisa’s home league games have averaged a league-low 0.22 first-half goals per game this season.[/p]

[p]Como have lost just one of their last seven league games played on a Tuesday (W3, D3).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Mehdi Léris has two goal contributions across Pisa’s last three games (G1, A1) and six of his last seven goals at club level arrived before half-time. Lucas Da Cunha also likes to strike early as each of his last five goals for Como came before half-time and four of them opened the scoring.[/p]
[p]Pisa defender Raúl Albiol was withdrawn against Genoa with an injury, while Como’s Assane Diao, Edoardo Goldaniga and Álvaro Morata are expected to remain on the sidelines.[/p]
