Cagliari head to face bottom-placed Pisa, hoping to halt their current run without a win and strengthen their position in the battle to stay in Serie A.
Pisa have struggled this season, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table, with just one win from their first 28 league matches.
Pisa are winless in their last 17 matches in the Serie A
Their latest setback was a heavy 4–0 loss away to Juventus, marking their sixth defeat in the last seven league games. The Tuscan side have not tasted victory since early November, a drought that has now stretched to 17 matches.
Worryingly, they have failed to score in their last three fixtures and are now on the brink of losing five consecutive Serie A matches.
Cagliari, meanwhile, arrive with their own concerns despite sitting six points above the relegation zone. A 2–1 defeat to Como last weekend extended their winless run to five matches.
In nine of Cagliari’s 14 away league games this season, both teams to score have been played.
The Sardinian side had previously shown attacking promise, scoring seven goals across their last three victories, but their offence has cooled considerably, with just two goals scored during the current five-game run.
Defensive issues on the road add another layer of concern, as Fabio Pisacane’s side have conceded in 13 of their 14 away league matches this season, meaning their attack may need to deliver if they hope to return home with a positive result.

Whispers predicts: Pisa 1-1 Cagliari
Pisa’s inability to win games has become a psychological barrier to overcome, while Cagliari have also had a bad patch in their last five games. We expect a closely contested match, with both teams settling for a draw, given their last three meetings ended in a stalemate.
The bookmakers have priced this game very competitively, with Pisa’s winning odds at 2.45 and Cagliari's at 2.90. The draw is valued at 3.00 odds, reflecting the high number of stalemates involving the home side this year.
Given that both teams have not scored many goals in their last five games, the over 1.5 goals market is at 1.44, which offers decent value. A 1-1 scoreline odds is given at 8.50.
We also anticipate that both teams will find the back of the net, with odds currently priced at 2.00. There is also a likelihood of a first-half draw, with the odds given at 2.00.
> Cagliari to win at 2.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 1.5 goals at 1.44 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score at 2.00 | Likelihood: Possible
> First-half draw at 2.00 | Likelihood: Possible
