Pisa vs Parma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-07 14:00.
[p]Pisa and Parma have mustered just 19 goals in Serie A between them this season, so entertainment may not be on the menu as they face off in a relegation ‘six-pointer’.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Pisa’s Serie A return is not going to plan, with a 2-0 defeat to Inter Milan last time out leaving them one point from safety. Scoring has been their biggest problem, which is ironic given that head coach Alberto Gilardino got 188 goals in the competition! His men have failed to find the net in seven top-flight matches this term, a joint-high figure pre-round, but they have fared better recently thanks to 2-2 draws at AC Milan, Torino and Sassuolo. They have still only scored once at home this season though – the lowest total across Europe’s top five leagues – with that goal coming in their only such victory in that time (D3, L3).[/p]
[p]Parma are even poorer in attack, with their tally of nine goals the second lowest in Serie A this campaign ahead of this round. They lost 2-0 to Udinese last week to stretch their poor run of form to one win in eight league outings (D3, L4). The Crusaders are therefore only above the bottom three by a solitary point, putting pressure on inexperienced boss Carlos Cuesta whose plight was not helped by Thursday’s 2-1 Coppa Italia defeat to Bologna. His side’s away form, winning just once in seven attempts this season (D2, L4), will not inspire confidence either, albeit that sole victory did come in their last such league game at Verona (2-1).
