After securing a big win against a direct rival for a UEFA Champions League spot, Como now turn their attention to a clash with struggling Pisa, aiming to further solidify their position in the Serie A top four.
Como’s impressive campaign shows no signs of slowing down in recent weeks. They have maintained a good run of form in their last five games.
Como have scored at least two goals in each of their last four league matches.
Their recent 2–1 comeback victory over Roma lifted them into the top four at the end of the last round, putting them firmly on track for a historic first qualification to the Champions League.
That result also marked their fourth consecutive league win, and they now have the opportunity to make it five in a row. Their strong record against teams currently in the bottom four adds further confidence heading into this clash.
Pisa, on the other hand, finally ended their long wait for a second league victory last weekend, defeating Cagliari 3–1.
It was their first win since November and also the first under head coach Oscar Hiljemark, bringing an end to a four-match losing streak.
Pisa have let in more away goals than any other team in Serie A this season.
However, their situation remains critical, as they are still nine points adrift of safety. A second consecutive win would be a major surprise.
Their away form has been particularly poor this season, as they remain the only side yet to win on the road, making this a daunting challenge.
