Pisa vs Bologna Prediction: Visitors may be too strong

Bologna have turned a corner recently, winning four games in a row, and they will look to continue that run of form as they visit Serie A strugglers Pisa, who have only won one of their 26 league games and are in serious danger of relegation.

Read on for our Pisa vs Bologna predictions.

Team News

Pisa are missing some key players, with Calvin Stengs, Isak Vural, Simone Scuffet and Daniel Denoon all injured.

Adrian Semper is back from injury, though, so should take his place between the sticks.

Bologna are without left-backs Charalampos Lykogiannis and Juan Miranda through injury so Joao Mario may have to fill in. Torbjorn Heggem is also a doubt for this clash.

Football Odds

Pisa vs Bologna Odds

Bologna are 10/11 to win this one while Pisa are 3/1 and the draw is available at 23/10.

Over 2.5 goals is available at 11/10 while both teams to score is 5/6 and over 1.5 goals in the first half is 21/10.

Bologna to win @ 10/11

Bologna’s campaign looked in danger of unravelling but four wins on the spin in all competitions have turned things have turned around and they should have too much for Pisa.

Vincenzo Italiano’s men secured a battling 2-0 aggregate win over Brann in the Europa League play-off to further lift the mood around the club.

They have now won three games in a row by a 1-0 scoreline, demonstrating their resolute backline at its best.

That should be a real advantage against a Pisa side who have been one of the least effective in the league going forwards. The hosts have only netted 20 times in 26 games and that could be their undoing once more.

Winning just one of their 26 league matches means that they are staring down the barrel of relegation and their home record has been particularly bad, losing eight of their 13 matches at the Arena Garibaldi.

Their struggles could continue and Bologna are fancied to come out on top.

Riccardo Orsolini to score anytime @ 8/5

While they have not been the most free-flowing going forwards this season, Bologna’s Riccardo Ordolini has been their primary threat.

The 29-year-old has 11 goals in 26 starts in all competitions and is their designated penalty taker, netting four of his five spot kicks.

Against a Pisa side who have conceded 43 times in their 26 league outings, Orsolini is fancied to get on the scoresheet once again, just as he did when these two teams met earlier this season.
