"Starting with the hosts, while Pisa might have only made their famous Serie A return this season, the Nerazzurri have drastically failed to deal with the steep leap up in opposition. Last seen heading into October's international break with another worrying performance as they fell to a routine 4-0 drumming at the hands of Bologna, Alberto Gilardino's side are pencilled in as a standout contender to be hit with an immediate second-tier return this time around."
"As for the visitors, only mustering a single win from any of their final nine straight Serie A appearances last season, Verona have once again shown a string of glaring issues this time around. Last seen heading into October's fortnight interval with a toothless 1-0 loss at home against Sassuolo, the Mastiffs also mark their return to top-flight action this weekend scrapping it out in the relegation zone."
Pisa returned to Serie A but have struggled, collecting two points from six matches and sitting bottom of the table. Pisa conceded 4-0 to Bologna and have drawn a blank in five of six recent matches across all competitions. The hosts exited the Coppa Italia after a 1-0 loss to Torino. Verona have also failed to find form, with no wins in six league matches (three draws, three defeats) and a return to the relegation zone. Verona lost 2-0 at Roma and suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Sassuolo. Verona were eliminated from the Coppa Italia on penalties to Venezia.
