Match Prediction: Milan vs. Pisa
As the current leader of this Serie A season, I believe Milan 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 games, including a recent victory over Napoli (2-1). However, Milan is not known for high-scoring games: in 11 of their last 12 home matches in Serie A, the team has not scored more than two goals.
Pisa has started this season poorly and remains winless. Moreover, they have lost both of their last away league matches. Alberto Gilardino's side is also struggling in attack, having scored only three goals in the current campaign, with only Verona (2) having a worse record. However, Pisa is not entirely hopeless and fights for points until the end: in 5 of their 7 Serie A matches this season, the team has not conceded more than one goal.
I expect the hosts to secure a win, but the game might not be high-scoring. My prediction: Home win and Total under 3.5 goals
