Pisa – Lazio

Pisa and Lazio will play relatively high-scoring.

Pisa achieved a sensational result in the last round. 'Torri' visited 'San Siro' and conceded early in the match. In the 7th minute, Rafael Leão scored with a beautiful long-range shot. The subsequent lull was broken in the second half. In the 60th minute, Juan Cuadrado confidently converted a penalty. Alberto Gilarcino's team was not satisfied with just equalising. In the 86th minute, Nzola scored after a one-on-one situation with Maignan. It seemed that Pisa's sensational victory was imminent, but the 'devils' managed to restore parity. Moreover, Saelemaekers had an excellent chance to give his team three points but failed to convert. The 2-2 draw hardly disappointed the 'Nerazzurri'. This was their second consecutive draw and third in the last four games. Lazio secured victory in one of the central matches of the round. The Romans faced Juventus at 'Olimpico'. Basic's goal put Sarri's side ahead in the 9th minute. It remained the only goal of the match. In the previous round, the 'Eagles' shared points with Atalanta. The team is clearly in decent form. It is worth mentioning that Pisa has underperformed in some statistical metrics. According to xG, 'Torri' should have scored nearly three goals more, while in terms of xGA, they should have conceded two more. The expected goals conceded metric is concerning, as the 'Nerazzurri' already concede almost the most in the league. Interestingly, Lazio has a significant underperformance in the xGA metric as well. The 'Biancocelesti' should have conceded 4.61 goals more than they have in reality. Notably, the team is predominantly underperforming in away games in this metric. Additionally, in away matches, Maurizio Sarri's side should have scored nearly two goals more, according to xG. The results of the 'Eagles' matches against teams from the lower part of the table are indicative. Lazio thrashed Verona 4-0, Genoa 3-0, and had a high-scoring draw with Torino (3-3). Will the Romans stray from the practice of high-scoring football in matches against 'weaker' opponents? Unlikely. As the match with Milan shows, Pisa can also surprise. At least two goals should be scored by both teams.
