Pisa vs Bologna: match preview
Pisa returned to the top flight of Serie A and are now battling to preserve their place among Italy’s elite. The side have collected just 15 points from 26 matches and sit 19th in the table. The gap to 17th place currently stands at nine points, and overturning such a deficit will be a formidable challenge. Their performances have been inconsistent, at times outright disappointing. Pisa are without a win in 15 straight matches and must start collecting victories if they are to remain in Serie A.
Bologna sit higher in the Serie A standings and are attempting to keep their European ambitions alive. However, the task will not be straightforward, as the Rossoblù are eighth with 36 points after 26 rounds. They trail seventh place by 12 points and sixth by 13. The team are enjoying a strong run of form, having secured four consecutive wins — two in the Europa League and two in Serie A. If they can sustain this momentum, their hopes of qualifying for European competition will remain realistic.
Probable line-ups
- Pisa: Semper; Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Bozhinov; Toure, Loyola, Aebischer, Marin, Iling-Junior; Moreo, Stojilkovic
- Bologna: Skorupski; De Silvestri, Lucumi, Casale, Mario; Ferguson, Freuler, Sohm; Orsolini, Castro, Cambiaghi
Prediction
Bologna are in excellent form, and considering their opponent’s struggles, I believe they can extend their winning run. I suggest a bet on a Bologna victory in this match.
