With Atalanta riding a three-game winning streak without conceding, the visitors are favored to keep surging toward European spots.</p> <h3>Form and Momentum</h3> <p>Pisa’s season has stalled at 19th after 20 games (13 points), with a brutal run of nine without a win. Their last outing brought a spirited 2-2 at Udinese, but home numbers are stark: a single goal scored across 10 league matches at this venue. In contrast, Atalanta (31 points) are on a tear—six wins in their last eight and three consecutive clean sheets, including a clinical 2-0 over Torino and a 0-2 away win at Bologna.</p> <h3>Team News and Lineups</h3> <p>Pisa are weakened by the suspension of veteran centre-back Antonio Caracciolo, while Juan Cuadrado and several others are sidelined. New forward Rafiu Durosinmi could debut, but it’s a big ask to instantly fix a goal-shy attack. Expect a 3-4-1-2 featuring Scuffet; Calabresi, Canestrelli, Bonfanti; Touré, Marin, Aebischer, Angori; Tramoni behind Moreo and Meister.</p> <p>For Atalanta, Berat Djimsiti is a doubt, Ademola Lookman is away at AFCON, but depth remains strong: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Ahanor; Zappacosta or Bernasconi, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi; De Ketelaere, Zalewski supporting Scamacca in a 3-4-2-1. Nikola Krstovic is another in-form option up front after his brace at Bologna.</p> <h3>Tactical Matchup</h3> <p>Atalanta’s three-at-the-back shape with wingbacks can pin Pisa’s wide midfield and force deep blocks. The visitors will circulate through De Roon and Ederson, using De Ketelaere and Zalewski between the lines to draw out centre-backs. With Caracciolo suspended, Pisa lose leadership and aerial presence—a key note against Scamacca’s physicality and set-piece threat.</p> <p>Pisa’s best route is a compact 5-4-1 without the ball, hoping to drag this into a slow, scrappy affair and steal transitions through Tramoni or Meister. But their numbers at home have been historically low: 90% failed to score, 80% of home first halves at 0-0, and almost all of their few chances arriving late. Atalanta’s patient build-up and stronger bench profile should tilt the final stages.</p> <h3>Goal Timing and Game State</h3> <p>A slow opening is the expectation. Pisa’s average first home goal scored comes around the 75th minute (only one scored, in fact), while Atalanta away are measured starters and closers—55% of their away goals arrive after the break. Pisa concede 80% of their home goals in the second half, and Atalanta’s recent wins have included late clinchers. This points toward a goalless or level half-time with the visitors taking control after the hour.</p> <h3>Key Players</h3> <ul> <li>Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta): The central reference, five league goals and a strong aerial/finishing profile against a Pisa backline missing Caracciolo.</li> <li>Charles De Ketelaere (Atalanta): Creative hub between the lines, arriving form-wise to supply and link with Scamacca.</li> <li>Samuele Angori and Michel Aebischer (Pisa): Workload heavy on both flanks and in midfield to disrupt Atalanta’s wingback channels and slow down entries.</li> </ul> <h3>Odds and Betting View</h3> <p>Markets lean toward a controlled Atalanta win. The standout statistical edge is Pisa’s extraordinary home toothlessness: one goal in 10 games. That underwrites two angles—Atalanta to win to nil and unders. With Atalanta’s defense peaking and Carnesecchi assured, win-to-nil at an odds-against price offers bite. Under 2.5 looks strong given Pisa’s 10% home Over 2.5 rate and Atalanta’s pragmatic away splits. For timing markets, a first-half draw makes sense; for second-half dominance, back Atalanta to edge it post-interval.</p> <h3>Prediction</h3> <p>A disciplined, patient Atalanta performance, squeezing Pisa’s limited attack and finding a breakthrough through Scamacca or a late midfield runner. The numbers line up for a low-scoring away win.</p> <p><strong>Projected score: Pisa 0-2 Atalanta</strong></p> </body> </html>
