"AC Milan welcome Pisa to San Siro on Friday night with the possibility to secure top spot for the weekend with a win. Milan have won five of their first seven games in Serie A, which has them at the top of the pile. They can open up a temporary four-point gap with a victory tonight, albeit temporarily while waiting for the other games, including Napoli-Inter."
"For Milan, it feels like a lot rests on the front two that Massimiliano Allegri will send into battle: Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez. The Fiorentina game saw both play a part in what was a big comeback win at San Siro. Leao scored his first home league goal for 17 months to bring things level and then netted the penalty to win it inside the final 10 minutes."
"At the other end, M'Bala Nzola will be the one that leads the line for Pisa in a front two. They have only scored two goals in Serie A so far in 2025-26 (three in total, but the other was an own-goal) and Nzola has one of them. Given that he plays on the left of the pairing, it will be interesting to see how Koni De Winter does in his first start since arriving at the club."
AC Milan can secure a temporary top spot with a home win over Pisa after winning five of seven Serie A games. A victory would open a four-point gap before other results. Newly-promoted sides present risks, and Milan face another injury crisis. Massimiliano Allegri depends on Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez after their roles in a late comeback against Fiorentina, with Leao scoring at home after 17 months and converting a late penalty. Defensive matchups include veteran Raul Albiol and Simone Canestrelli. Pisa have scored only two Serie A goals so far, led by M'Bala Nzola.
