Pisa – Fiorentina

Pisa will end their losing streak

A tough schedule fell to Pisa at the start of the championship. In the opening round, the newcomers faced Atalanta. "Torri" sensationally managed to earn points in the match against the "Goddess". That meeting ended with a score of 1:1. Next was a match against Roma. This time, Alberto Gilardino's charges could not create a sensation. The team logically lost to the "Giallorossi" with a score of 0:1. In the next round, the "Nerazzurri" faced their first opponent who was more or less comparable in strength – Udinese. The Friulians scored an early goal, which turned out to be the only one in the match. Pisa fought desperately and had several great chances to equalise. Last Monday, Alberto Gilardino's team played against Napoli. Pisa started the match well and countered the "Azzurri" attacks effectively. Unfortunately, "Torri" conceded in the 39th minute after a series of deflections. By the hour mark, Gilardino's charges equalised. However, the quality of the "Partenopei" prevailed. Goals from Spinazzola and Luki brought Napoli three points. A goal from Lorrano at the end of the match did not help Pisa either. Fiorentina has yet to win in the championship. After two opening draws, the "Lilies" are now behind. In the last round, the Florentines hosted Como. Mandragora opened the scoring in the 6th minute, and it seemed that the game would be successful for Pioli's charges. Como systematically attacked and equalised in the 65th minute. It is worth mentioning that the second half was completely dominated by the "Bianconeri". The Florentines completely lost control of the match and could not take any action. In such a situation, a draw would have satisfied Fiorentina, but in the 90+4th minute, the team conceded. The main problem for the Florentines is the schedule. Three days after the reported match, the "Lilies" are set to play against Sigma in the Conference League, and another three days after that, against Roma in the championship. Surprisingly, given such opponents, Pisa has the largest shortfall among teams in the lower part of the table across many metrics. Thus, according to xG, "Torri" missed out on 2.49 goals, while according to xPTS, they should have earned 4.04 points more. At the same time, Fiorentina's metrics are disheartening. With six goals conceded, the Florentines should have achieved this another 2.22 times. Pisa fights desperately in every match. The poor results of "Torri" are a combination of misfortune and inexperience, but everything comes to an end. Alberto Gilardino's charges, if they don't secure a victory, will certainly fight for points.
