Match Prediction: Pisa vs Cremonese

Following their promotion, Pisa has found it challenging to assert themselves in Italy’s top flight. Across the opening ten rounds, Alberto Gilardino’s squad is still searching for their first victory, making them one of only three clubs, alongside Verona and Fiorentina, yet to secure a win this season. Adding to their difficulties, Pisa has failed to score in six of their league outings thus far.

Cremonese also competed in Serie B last season, but their transition to the top tier has been considerably more successful than that of their forthcoming rivals. The team has demonstrated respectable results, particularly on the road; in five away fixtures this season, Davide Nicola’s side has suffered just one defeat (recording two wins and two draws). Notably, that sole loss came against formidable Inter.

Final Verdict

Considering these factors, I believe the visiting side is well-positioned to secure points in this fixture. My expert prediction is: “Cremonese to Win or Draw”, with an associated coefficient of 1.65.
