Pisa vs Como prediction, H2H and probable lineups - January 6, 2026
One of the fixtures of the 19th round of the Italian Championship 2025/26 season kicks off this Saturday at the Arena Garibaldi-Romeo Anconetani in Pisa, where the local side will host ambitious Como. Let’s break down a smart bet on the outcome of this clash, where the odds look promising.
Match preview
Pisa’s situation at the start of the new year offers little optimism—the team remains in the relegation zone and can’t snap its winless streak. Despite the players’ efforts and some promising stretches even against stronger opponents, results are lacking. The home form is especially concerning, with supporters witnessing mostly defensive survival rather than any attacking intent.
Scoring just one goal in nine home matches is a damning statistic that perfectly sums up Gilardino’s side’s attacking impotence. The return of Nzola and a reshuffled back line could bring some changes, but so far there’s no systematic solution to creating scoring chances. A tough January schedule only adds to the pressure, and the meeting with Como could be another step down if Pisa doesn’t change its approach.
Cesc Fàbregas’ men opened 2026 with a narrow but confident win over Udinese, extending their positive run. Como are gradually evolving from plucky newcomers into serious European contenders, their mature play and consistent results a testament to that. They’ve learned to beat teams they’re supposed to—and that’s crucial over a long season.
The return of Diego Carlos and Niklas Pas strengthens the core, while Douvikas in attack is proving his worth in Morata’s absence. Defensively, Como remain solid and are lethal on the counter, a key asset against opponents who sit deep. Pisa are exactly that sort of side—and this is a golden opportunity for Como to keep climbing.
Probable lineups
- Pisa: Šemper, Caracciolo, Canestrelli, Calabresi, Angore, Højlholt, Aebischer, Piccinini, Touré, Moreo, Nzola
- Como: Buté, Smolčić, Carlos Santos, Kempf, Moreno, Da Cunha, Caqueret, Vojvoda, Pas, Rodriguez, Douvikas
Match facts and head-to-head
- Four of the last five meetings between these teams have ended in a draw.
- Pisa have scored just one goal in nine home matches this season.
- Como have won two consecutive games, keeping clean sheets and netting four goals in total.
Prediction
Despite their efforts and occasional flashes, Pisa remain one of the league’s weakest sides, especially at home. The visitors are more than capable of taking advantage of the hosts’ frailty and grabbing all three points with their organized and mature play. Expect a tight, low-scoring affair—one goal could decide it. Fàbregas and his Como should be able to capitalize.
