Vicenza
- Vicenza are 16th in the Serie B 2026/2027 table on five points from five matches and need to get on a good run to start climbing the table.
- They have been better at home this season than on their away games, avoiding defeat in both of their fixtures at Stadio Romeo Menti (W1, D1).
- A win and a draw have helped Vicenza to their decent home start, but a 1-1 draw with Juve Stabia and a 2-1 defeat to Hellas Verona suggest they are a team that will compete in games but not necessarily see them off.
- Vicenza have scored four goals in two home games in Serie B 2026/2027, so they are a danger at their home ground.
Pisa
- Pisa are six places higher in the table on seven points from as many matches.
- The nerazzurri are unbeaten on their trips so far in Serie B 2026/2027 (W1, D1).
- Pisa have conceded only two goals on their travels in Serie B 2026/2027 and look capable of keeping it tight again.
- They started with a 3-0 away defeat to AC Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia 2026/2027, followed by a 2-2 draw against Mantova in the league away from home.
Key Players
- Gabriele Moncini has scored two goals in Vicenza's last five matches and looks a trustworthy striker choice on Saturday.
- Silvio Merkaj has scored twice in five Serie B 2026/2027 games for Vicenza and looks to be their sharpest player on Saturday.
- Simone Canestrelli is also on two in five in Serie B 2026/2027 for Pisa and is their most obvious goal threat.
Betting Insights
- Fabio Gallo's 3-5-2 setup is built around the wing-backs and is man-oriented in the way his team presses and sits when out of possession.
- Paolo Bianco's Pisa are a little more patient in their build-up and will try to use their shape and numerical superiority in midfield and out wide to wear down Vicenza.
- It won't be an easy evening for them, but they will probably have enough to squeeze a win from the contest and that's where our money is going.
Prediction
- The odds on Pisa are good enough to take here, but we will lean towards the draw because it has landed in one of the hosts' home games this term and seems a decent option again.
- But Vicenza can make this a tough match at their place and both teams to score at 1.6 could be a smart bet on a game that should be a battle.
