Roma will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Pisa in a Serie A clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night, with the Giallorossi under pressure to respond after a dip in form at a crucial stage of the campaign.
Sitting sixth in the table with 54 points from 31 matches, the Giallorossi remain firmly in contention for a Champions League spot, but they will likely need to win the majority of their remaining fixtures to keep their top-four hopes alive.
Pisa, meanwhile, find themselves rooted to the bottom of the standings after a dismal campaign, and with just 18 points from 31 games, they appear destined for relegation unless they can produce a remarkable turnaround in the closing weeks of the season.

After a strong start to the year, Roma appear to have lost momentum, with a string of disappointing results denting their push for a Champions League place and raising concerns over their consistency.
Since the beginning of March, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have managed just one win from five Serie A matches, losing three of them, and they come into this fixture on the back of a heavy 5-2 defeat to Inter Milan.
With their Europa League campaign now over, Roma’s full focus shifts to securing a top-four finish, and they will need to rediscover consistency quickly if they are to remain in contention during the final stretch of the season.
This fixture presents an ideal opportunity to respond, as they aim to complete a league double over Pisa, having secured a narrow 1-0 victory in the reverse meeting.
Roma have also been particularly strong at the Stadio Olimpico this season, registering 10 wins and two draws from 15 matches, with only the two Milan clubs boasting better home records, further strengthening their case as favourites to claim all three points.
Pisa have found life in the top flight beyond their competitive level this season and now appear destined for relegation to Serie B after a deeply disappointing campaign.
The Black and Blues have managed just two wins all season and are yet to secure a single victory away from home, highlighting their struggles to compete consistently at this level.
Defensive frailties have been a major concern, with Pisa conceding 55 goals - the highest in the league - and they head into this fixture on the back of successive defeats, further underlining their poor form.
On the road, they have lost seven and drawn eight matches while conceding 36 goals, and having also fallen behind in six of their last seven games, they will need a significant improvement to take anything from this encounter.

Whispers Predicts: Roma 2-1 Pisa
Roma are overwhelming favourites for this fixture, and despite their recent struggles, they possess enough quality in their squad to secure all three points against Pisa.
While Pisa have failed to score in their last four away matches, they have shown glimpses of attacking threat on the road, finding the net twice against Inter Milan, Udinese and Cagliari, suggesting they could get on the scoresheet here.
Interestingly, Roma have conceded in six of their last seven matches, which makes Roma to win with BTTS - Yes at 3.80 an appealing value option.
Seven of Roma’s last nine matches have produced over 2.5 goals, further strengthening the case for backing over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.91.
> BTTS - Yes at 2.38 | Likelihood: Probable
> Roma to win & BTTS - Yes at 3.8 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 10.5 corners at 1.43 | Likelihood: Possible
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.91 | Likelihood: Outsider
