Pisa prepare to host Como at the Arena Garibaldi, Romeo Anconetani, this Tuesday for an intriguing Serie A clash, with the visitors looking to build on their first win in the new year.
The hosts have picked up two draws from their last three matches. Unless there is a dramatic improvement in results, they look set for a prolonged fight to avoid relegation.
A seven-game winless streak highlights the scale of their problems, while three consecutive home defeats without scoring underline just how difficult things have become.
Conversely, Como’s upward trajectory shows no sign of slowing. They arrive in sixth place and firmly in the European qualification picture after edging Udinese 1-0 last weekend, a result that marked back-to-back league victories without conceding.
The Lariani have quickly put a brief pre-Christmas dip behind them, and while their away form remains an area to improve, with only two wins from their last seven league trips, they will be keen to build further momentum on the road.

Como head into this fixture as clear favourites, with odds of 1.75 implying a 57.1% chance of claiming an away victory. Pisa are priced at 4.60, giving them a 21.7% probability of taking all three points on home soil, while the draw is available at 3.60, representing a 27.8% likelihood.
The odds reflect the contrasting trajectories of the two sides, with Como expected to dictate the game thanks to their superior form and defensive solidity. However, Pisa could still make this a competitive encounter if they manage to capitalise on any lapses from the visitors.
Most recent head-to-head: Tight record, but Como edge it
The head-to-head history between these two sides highlights how tight their encounters have been during their time in the professional leagues. Over the last five meetings, the results have been finely balanced, with Pisa having zero wins, Como claiming one victory and the remaining four matches ending in a draw.
Their most recent clash, played in early 2024, saw the Lariani secure a convincing 3–1 win, following on from a 1–1 draw in late 2023. While the Arena Garibaldi has long been a challenging venue for away teams to collect maximum points, the current form and direction of both clubs suggest the visitors are better placed to win.

Pisa preview: Selection boosted, but absences remain
After making a substitute appearance against Genoa, M’Bala Nzola is pushing for a return to Pisa’s starting XI on Tuesday, having now served his Serie A suspension while on international duty with Angola at the Africa Cup of Nations.
However, Pisa are still without several players. Ebenezer Akinsanmiro remains away at AFCON with Nigeria, while Juan Cuadrado, Mateus Lusuardi and Calvin Stengs are all sidelined through injury.
Predicted lineup: Semper (GK), Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Bonfanti, Toure, Leris, Aebischer, Hojholt, Angori, Moreo & Nzola
Last five fixtures
- 03.01.26 – Genoa 1-1 Pisa
- 27.12.25 – Pisa 0-2 Juventus
- 21.12.25 – Cagliari 2-2 Pisa
- 12.12.25 – Lecce 1-0 Pisa
- 08.12.25 – Pisa 0-1 Parma
Como preview: Key returns offset ongoing injury concerns
Como are set to welcome back influential playmaker Nico Paz, who was restricted to a brief substitute appearance against Udinese after regaining fitness, while Diego Carlos is also available again following the completion of a one-match suspension.
However, Cesc Fabregas continues to deal with several absences. Assane Diao, Alvaro Morata and Edoardo Goldaniga all remain sidelined through injury, although there is optimism that Jayden Addai could return to contention if he recovers in time from a flexor problem.
Predicted lineup: Butez (GK), Smolcic, Ramon, Carlos, Valle, Da Cunha, Caqueret, Vojvoda, Paz, Rodriguez & Douvikas
Last five fixtures
- 03.01.26 – Como 1-0 Udinese
- 27.12.25 – Lecce 0-3 Como
- 15.12.25 – AS Roma 1-0 Como
- 06.12.25 – Inter 4-0 Como
- 28.11.25 – Como 2-0 Sassuolo
Player to watch: Nico Paz
Nico Paz is the most dangerous creative player for the visiting side and he is our choice for the player to watch in this game. The young Argentinian midfielder has been in sensational form recently and has contributed six goals and six assists this season.
His ability to operate in the spaces between the opposition midfield and defence makes him a very difficult player to mark for ninety minutes. If the visitors are to secure the three points as we have predicted, he will likely be the individual who provides the creative spark needed to break the deadlock.
