Pisa will look to extend their lead in Serie B as they host Sampdoria this weekend. I Nerazzuri currently sit eight places above I Blucerchiati ahead of this round 13 encounter. Here’s a look at the stats and our prediction.
Pisa have bounced back from a tough period that included back-to-back losses in both the Coppa Italia and Serie B. Following a league defeat to Juve Stabia, they have gone on an unbeaten run of five matches, securing three victories, which makes them favorites for this match.
In their two league meetings last season, Sampdoria lost both encounters and will be eager for a better outcome this time. However, their recent form is concerning, with only one win in their last five matches. A 1-0 home loss to Brescia marked their second consecutive game without scoring.
Sampdoria has struggled to find the net, managing more than one goal in only one of their last five matches. Despite this, they have shown resilience on the road, coming into this match on a three-match unbeaten streak away from home in Serie B.
