Team form: Pisa vs Verona

Pisa Form

A draw is the best Pisa can show from their last three games, where they came up short in a 1-0 defeat against Torino. A0-0 draw with Fiorentina followed before they were defeated 4-0 by Bologna. Pisa did not win any of their last six Serie A matches at the Stadio Romeo Anconetani. They came through these matches with a record of two draws and two defeats, in which they conceded six and scored six goals.

Verona Form

A draw is all that prevents Verona from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed this single draw against Venezia as the match ended 0-0 before getting trounced against Roma by a 2-0 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Sassuolo won the game and the exact score was 0-1. Verona managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Serie A. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring ten time and letting in three.
