Pisa has increased its goalless streak to three matches. In the last round, the 'Torrie' faced Bologna away. The 'Rossoblu' quickly found the keys to their opponent's goal. After a goal from Cambiaghi, Schemper was fishing the ball out of his net as early as the 24th minute. It wouldn't have been a big problem, but just 12 minutes later, Toure received a direct red card. In the first half, Alberto Gilardino's charges conceded two more goals. The second half, evidently, was also dominated by the 'Felsinei', and the final score reached 4-0. In the previous round, the 'Neroverdi' played against Fiorentina. Unlike the match against Bologna, it cannot be called a failure. Pisa had a couple of excellent opportunities and even scored. However, the goal was disallowed after VAR intervention. The final 'dry' draw, while not improving the team's position in the league table, showed that the 'Torrie' cannot be underestimated. The third match of this 'series' was a defeat to Torino in the Coppa Italia. However, given Gilardino's team's situation, the cup is unlikely to be a priority tournament. Verona is on a similar streak; in the last round, Hellas hosted Sassuolo. The hosts started the match brightly, having several decent chances in the first half. The second half, however, began with an advantage for the 'Neroverdi'. This advantage turned into a goal from Fabio Grosso's team. Pinamonti scored on the follow-up from a penalty. No matter how hard the 'Mastiffs' tried to level the score, they were unsuccessful. In the previous round, the 'Gialloblu' lost to Roma 2-0, albeit not without chances. Prior to that, the team was eliminated from the cup after losing to Venezia in a penalty shootout. Both teams have an underperformance in terms of goals. With three scored, Pisa, according to the xG metric, should have scored an additional 3.09 goals. Verona, meanwhile, is missing 5.11 goals by this statistic, which is the largest shortfall in the league. It is noteworthy that both opponents have among the worst statistics for goals conceded. Moreover, no shifts in the defensive plan are anticipated. Both clubs see this match as an opportunity to gain points against a direct competitor. It is unlikely that the teams will change their approach. However, the goalless streaks of the clubs have dragged on too long.
