Como Form
Victory over Roma in the previous round (2:1) allowed Cesc Fabregas' men to climb to fourth place in the Italian top flight and extend their unbeaten run to five matches in the league (four wins, one draw). They are now the only side in the division that have avoided defeat in each of their last five Serie A games. After 29 rounds, Como have 54 points to their name, which is the club's best-ever tally at this stage of a season.
- Como's scoring run in the league now stands at six matches.
- From 15 home matches in the 2025/26 season, the team have recorded eight wins (five draws, two defeats).
- Both teams to score has landed in five of Como's last six Serie A matches.
Potential Como Lineup (4-5-1)*
Jean Butez – Ivan Smolcic, Jacobo Ramon, Alex Valle, Diego Carlos – Maxence Caqueret, Nico Paz, Martin Baturina, Sergi Roberto, Maximo Perrone – Jayden Addai
Pisa Form
In the last round, the visitors finally halted a poor run of four straight defeats by beating Cagliari 3:1, and that win was only their second of the current season (12 draws, 15 defeats). Overall, the results under Oscar Hiljemark speak for themselves: the team have conceded in 13 of their 14 away matches, and their only clean sheet came against a fellow straggler near the foot of the standings. In truth, even last week's victory does not change the bigger picture. Pisa remain 19th and already trail the safety zone by nine points.
- Across 14 away matches this season, the team have not recorded a single win (eight draws, six defeats).
- Pisa have conceded in each of their last five Serie A matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in five of the club's last seven away league games.
Potential Pisa Lineup (3-5-2)*
Nicholas Lamberts – Simone Canestrelli, Antonio Caracciolo, Rosen Bozhinov – Samuel Iling-Junior, Felipe Loyola, Michel Ebischer, Marius Marin, Mehdi Leris – Filip Stojilkovic, Stefano Moreo
Defender Danil Denon, as well as midfielders Isak Vural and Kelvin Stengs, will miss out through injury.
