Pisa team overview
Following a runner-up finish in last season’s Serie B, Pisa have finally ended a 35-year wait to return to the top tier of Italian football, where their primary focus will be firmly on avoiding an immediate relegation battle.
However, the Nerazzurri’s long absence from the top flight is already showing, as they have struggled to adapt to life among the country’s elite sides. After ten opening fixtures, they are yet to taste victory, although six of those games ended in draws.
While the first win is still elusive, Alberto Gilardino’s squad has developed into a significantly more resilient unit in recent weeks — a side that has proven difficult to break down, compiling an intriguing run of four consecutive Serie A draws on the bounce, restoring hope to fans for better days ahead.
In terms of availability, Mateus Lusuardi (muscular problems) and Calvin Stengs (groin surgery) are definite absentees for Friday’s clash, while Tomas Esteves is unlikely to feature as he continues his recovery from an Achilles tendon injury.

Cremonese team overview
Unlike their fellow newcomers on Friday, Cremonese have truly thrived in their return to Serie A, accumulating a respectable 14 points from their first ten gameweeks, placing them squarely in mid-table, just four points shy of the European spots.
In fact, La Cremo have found themselves on the losing end only twice so far in the 2025-26 campaign, with one of those setbacks coming in the previous round. Despite a spirited display, they went down 2-1 to Juventus, ending a three-match unbeaten run (W1 D2).
Throughout the season so far, Cremonese have demonstrated considerable resilience, proving far from easy opposition. Five of their first ten top-flight matches have ended in draws, highlighting their tendency to share the spoils rather than succumb to defeat.
The Grigiorossi will, however, need to navigate a lengthy injury list, with as many as five players currently listed as doubtful, including Giuseppe Pezzella, Alberto Grassi, Alessio Zerbin, Faris Moumbagna, and Antonio Sanabria.

Prediction
Promoted sides with contrasting starts to the Serie A season have often seemed like magnets for shared points this campaign. Pisa have been forced to settle for draws in five of their last six top-flight outings, while La Cremonese have drawn five of their last eight matches.
Considering this trend, coupled with the likelihood that both managers will adopt a cautious, defense-first approach to avoid costly mistakes, we can expect a rather subdued encounter at the Stadio Arena Garibaldi, where defensive solidity and slowed-down football are likely to dominate proceedings.
Three Reasons we expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Half of Pisa’s last six matches have ended goalless.
- Interestingly, each of Pisa’s last three home games has finished 0-0.
- Six of Cremonese’s last eight Serie A encounters have seen under 2.5 goals.
