Hellas Verona
- Hellas Verona and Pisa are joint-bottom of Serie A with 14 points each from 23 games.
- Verona are on a run of 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats in their last five Serie A matches.
- Paolo Sammarco took over at Hellas Verona at the start of February 2026 and the early indications are that he will move them towards a more pragmatic three-defender system with wing-backs.
- The hosts’ home form has been particularly poor as they have taken only one win, three draws and seven defeats from 11 Serie A games at the Bentegodi this term.
- Hellas were thrashed 4-0 at Cagliari last time out.
Pisa
- Alberto Gilardino has had a positive impact on Pisa, turning his side into a more controlled and vertical 3-4-2-1 that is set up to attack the half-spaces.
- Pisa have scored 16 times in 11 away Serie A matches this season so they can get the ball in the net on their travels, but they need a reliable goal-getter to ensure they stay in touch with the rest of the division.
- Stefano Moreo, who has five in 22 Serie A outings, fits that bill as he has scored two of his side’s last six goals and can make his presence felt on the game.
- Pisa conceded six in a game they lost to Inter before suffering a 1-3 home defeat to Sassuolo.
Head-to-Head
A cagey 0-0 draw at Pisa was the result when these clubs last met in Serie A three months ago.
Key Players
- Gift Orban is the team’s most advanced and dangerous player, netting seven goals in 20 Serie A appearances this term and scoring both of their last two goals.
- Stefano Moreo, who has five in 22 Serie A outings, fits that bill as he has scored two of his side’s last six goals and can make his presence felt on the game.
Betting Insights
- Verona are 2.22 favorites, while Pisa are 3.4 outsiders with the draw priced at 3.05.
- The odds favor a tight match as Under 2.5 goals is 1.57.
- With both sides coming off back-to-back defeats, the survival struggle should add an edge to this clash and we are happy to take the draw at such a big price.
Prediction
Both sides appear to have thrown in the towel this week and we expect them to grind out a tough, rugged game on Friday.
