3 – 2 | Stadio Diego Armando Maradona |
Pisa come into this with a run of five straight league defeats, so the main question is whether they can keep the game tight enough to stay in it. Napoli’s recent results have been mixed, but they have still shown they can produce a clear win, as seen in the 4-0 success against Cremonese. With no xG data available, the safest read is that this could be decided by fine margins rather than a high-scoring pattern.
Napoli’s away draw at Como and draw at Parma suggest they are capable of controlling games without always running away with them, while Pisa’s home losses to Lecce and Genoa point to a side struggling to turn home advantage into points. The head-to-head also leans Napoli’s way, with the 3-2 win in the only supplied meeting. Match Prediction: Pisa 0-1 Napoli
Form Guide & Team Overview
Pisa
Pisa’s recent league form is poor, with five defeats from five and no goals scored in three of those matches. They have lost 0-3 away to Cremonese, 1-2 at home to Lecce, 0-1 away to Parma, 1-2 at home to Genoa and 0-3 away to Roma.
That sequence suggests Pisa are finding it hard to stay competitive for long spells, especially when the scoreline stays close. The home defeats to Lecce and Genoa are particularly relevant here, because they show the issues are not limited to away fixtures.

Napoli
Napoli’s recent league form is mixed rather than dominant, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five. They beat Cremonese 4-0 at home, drew 0-0 away to Como and 1-1 away to Parma, but also lost 2-3 at home to Bologna and 0-2 at home to Lazio.
That gives them a more stable base than Pisa, even if the results are not fully convincing. The clean sheet at Como and the four-goal home win over Cremonese suggest they can still manage games well when they settle into their shape.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Pisa (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Adrian Semper (Goalkeeper), Antonio Caracciolo (Defender), TBC (Defender), Simone Canestrelli (Defender), Ebenezer Akinsanmiro (Midfielder), TBC (Midfielder), Idrissa Touré (Midfielder), Mehdi Léris (Midfielder), Filip Stojilkovic (Attacker), Stefano Moreo (Attacker), İsak Vural (Attacker)
Pisa’s predicted 3-4-2-1 should give them a compact base, with the back three helping them stay organised against Napoli’s attacking line. The two players behind the striker will need to connect quickly if Pisa are to turn defensive phases into any sort of threat.
Napoli (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Vanja Milinković-Savić (Goalkeeper), Alessandro Buongiorno (Defender), Amir Rrahmani (Defender), Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Defender), TBC (Midfielder), Miguel Gutiérrez (Midfielder), Scott McTominay (Midfielder), Stanislav Lobotka (Midfielder), Alisson Santos (Attacker), Giovane (Attacker), Rasmus Højlund (Attacker)
Napoli’s predicted 3-4-2-1 gives them a similar structure, but with more proven control in midfield and more balance between the lines. That should help them press Pisa higher up the pitch while still keeping enough cover behind the ball.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Pisa | Napoli | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Pisa | Napoli | Filip Stojilkovic will need to work hard against Alessandro Buongiorno, because Pisa’s attacking output has been limited and they may rely on him to make the most of few chances. |
| Pisa | Napoli | Ebenezer Akinsanmiro against Miguel Gutiérrez could matter in midfield, with both sides needing control in the central areas. |
| Pisa | Napoli | Filip Stojilkovic is key for Pisa because he is one of the main attacking references in a side that has struggled for goals in recent results. |
| Pisa | Napoli | Alisson Santos is key for Napoli because he has been part of their attacking set-up in the recent 3-4-2-1 shape and offers a direct threat. |
