H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Pisa Team Overview
🔵 For a newcomer to Serie A, Pisa are delivering commendable performances. True, after 13 rounds, the team finds themselves in the relegation zone with just 10 points. However, recently, the "Nerazzurri" have been hard to beat. Since the October break, Pisa have played seven matches and suffered only one defeat-a significant improvement compared to their early-season form.
⚫ The sole loss during this period came in the last round, though it was hardly surprising. Pisa hosted Inter, a Champions League finalist in two of the last three editions. Despite this, the hosts put up a respectable fight, creating several dangerous chances (xG 1.37) and holding a 0-0 scoreline until the 69th minute. However, they ran out of steam towards the end as the "Nerazzurri" found the net twice to secure a straightforward 2-0 victory.

Parma Team Overview
🟡 Just like last season, Parma find themselves battling for survival. In the standings, they sit close to Pisa: with 11 points, the "Crusaders" are in 17th place. Over 13 rounds, they've managed just two victories-against Verona (2-1), who are firmly rooted in the relegation zone, and against the inconsistent Torino (2-1).
🔵 Last weekend was unfortunate for Parma: they suffered a home defeat to Udinese (0-2), creating minimal threats in front of goal. A few days later, they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia with an away loss to Bologna (1-2). Yes, the decisive goal came as late as the 89th minute, and for most of the second half, the scoreboard showed 1-1, but the opponent's dominance was evident. It would have been unjust if Parma had even made it to a penalty shootout.

Latest news
Pisa
📣 Pisa head coach Alberto Gilardino commented on his team's home defeat to Inter (0-2), noting that the team put up a commendable performance, created several clear chances, but failed to capitalize on them: "I want to praise the team... We had two or three clear opportunities to score, but we didn't take them, while Inter were ruthless. I'm proud of how my guys held on for more than an hour." The coach emphasized that the current results are deserved and that the team is going through a maturation phase: "The points we have, we've earned rightfully. This is a path of development: when you have four clear-cut chances, you need to deliver a knockout blow. But progress is still evident."
🚫 Pisa have a lengthy list of absentees. Daniel Denun and Isak Vural will be sidelined until the end of December, both nursing serious injuries (thigh and hamstring, respectively). Ebenezer Akinsanmiero is expected to return in mid-December following a shoulder injury. Several players remain doubtful: Mateus Luzuardi is dealing with physical discomfort, while Tomas Esteves, Calvin Stengs, and Juan Cuadrado continue their recovery from muscle injuries. Their readiness will be assessed closer to the game.
Parma
📣 Parma head coach Carlos Cuesta expressed his satisfaction with his team's commitment following their away match against Bologna, which ended in a 2-1 defeat: "I'm proud of my guys for all 95 minutes, but certain moments changed the game. Coming here to Bologna and playing like that is no easy task. We need to learn not to squander chances because it costs us dearly later on."
🚫 Parma are facing no shortage of injury woes. Matija Frigan remains sidelined until early March 2026 due to a cruciate ligament injury. First-choice goalkeeper Zion Suzuki is still recovering from a wrist fracture and is expected back in mid-February. Abdoulaye N’Diaye is out until mid-December with a muscle injury. Mariano Troilo will miss the upcoming match due to a red card in the last round. Additionally, Alessandro Circati's participation is doubtful as he recovers from an ankle dislocation.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In the upcoming clash, we have teams featuring some of the weakest attacking lines in the league. In Serie A, Pisa have managed to score just 10 goals, while Parma have netted only 9. Only Verona have fared worse with 8 goals before the start of the 14th round. Considering the significance of this matchup (the loser risks dropping into the relegation zone), it seems most logical to bet on under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Pisa and Parma are among the worst teams in Serie A not only in terms of goals but also when it comes to earning corners. Both teams average just 3.2 corners per match, placing them 19th and 20th in the league, respectively. Both sides favor a cautious style of play, rarely engaging in prolonged attacks and seldom reaching the opponent's penalty area. In this scenario, a bet on under 9.5 corners appears to be a highly reliable option.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Pisa are slight favorites for the upcoming match, and this assessment seems reasonable. Yes, the "Nerazzurri" had their six-match unbeaten streak snapped last weekend with a 2-0 home loss to Inter, but this defeat shouldn't affect the players' morale-given the class difference, chances were always slim. For Alberto Gilardino's squad, the key focus remains on picking up points against teams of similar caliber, and Parma fits this category, especially since they struggle more on the road than at home. Therefore, our bet is on Pisa not to lose. We anticipate a scoreline of 1-0 on the board.
