Milan vs. Pisa: Match Prediction
The current leader of this Serie A campaign, in my opinion, should not face significant challenges against Pisa, who are at the bottom of the table. Milan has won 5 of their last 6 home league matches, including a recent victory over Napoli (2-1). However, Milan is not particularly prolific in scoring: in 11 of their last 12 home Serie A games, the team has not exceeded two goals.
Pisa has not started this season well and is still seeking their first win. Moreover, the team has lost both of their recent away league matches. Alberto Gilardino's side has struggled in attack, scoring only three goals in the current league campaign, with only Verona (2) having a worse record. Nevertheless, the team is not entirely hopeless and fights for points until the end: in 5 of 7 Serie A matches this season, the club has not conceded more than one goal.
I believe the hosts will secure a win, but the match will not be high-scoring. My prediction: Milan to win and Total under 3.5 goals
