Pisa vs Atalanta Prediction: Don’t doubt the drought in Pisa Price Boost

Atalanta’s charge towards Serie A’s European spots is expected to continue on Friday when they travel to Pisa’s Arena Garibaldi (20:45 local, 19:45 GMT, live on Betfred.com and DAZN).

The Torri have still won only once this season, whereas La Dea have stormed back into the reckoning since Rafaelle Palladino succeeded Ivan Juric as boss. See my Pisa vs Atalanta predictions below, as well as full team news and Betfred’s latest match odds.

Team News

Alberto Gilardino has a couple of late decisions to make before announcing his Pisa starting XI.

Giovanni Bonfanti and Francesco Coppola are fighting over the final spot in the three-strong defensive line in the absence of suspended skipper Antonio Caracciolo.

Elsewhere, Marius Marin and Mehdi Leris are the considerations to go alongside Michel Aebischer in central midfield.

For Atalanta, Palladino will likely go with Honest Ahanor as the final member of his back three, while up top he should give the nod to Gianluca Scamacca over Nikola Krstovic for the prima punta role.

Mario Pasalic looks set to miss out on a start, with Ibrahim Sulemana preferred.

Pisa vs Atalanta Odds

The hosts are 9/2 to record just a second victory since returning to Serie A last summer, while Atalanta are 8/13 to continue their impressive recent form.

The draw can be back at 14/5, or you might be interested in one or both of the Price Boosts available with Betfred.

Atalanta to Win to Nil was 7/5 and is now 8/5. Meanwhile, it is now 7/5 (from 6/5) for Scamacca to find the net at any time.

Price Boost: Atalanta to Win to Nil @ 7/5 8/5

There’s just no good news for Pisa at the moment, particularly on home territory.

They might have looked handy and hard to break down at the Garibaldi early in the season, but they simply haven’t threatened enough.

And those initial displays of endeavour which earned them a win and three draws in their first five home games have given way to constant disappointment.

Four straight losses have followed on their patch, with the 3-0 loss to Como last time here saying much about their trajectory.

While they’ve drawn their last three away – scoring five along the way – they just don’t have the ability to dictate the flow of a game and in Atalanta they’re up against a side who are taking full advantage right now.

The Price Boost available here just underlines the value, with the new price implying a 38.5% probability for an eventuality which has occurred at a 55.6% clip at the Garibaldi this season and 100% over the last two months.

Football Odds

Team With Most Booking Points: Pisa @ 21/20

One of the knock-on effects for a side having little control of games is that they have to resort to whatever means necessary in matches at times.

Pisa’s disciplinary record is the sixth-worst in Serie A, while Atalanta’s is not bettered by anybody in the top flight.

I can only see this market going one way, and the 21/20 is punter-friendly to say the least.
