Pisa vs. Bologna: Crucial Points at Stake

Pisa hope to move out of last place, while Bologna push for a third consecutive league win.

Victory is vital for Pisa as they look to move off the bottom of the table. Their only win of the season came on 7 November against Cremonese, and they need another to revive their survival hopes. Bologna, however, arrive after wins over Torino and Udinese and are targeting a third straight success in the league to close in on the European positions.

Pisa have not beaten Bologna at home since 21 August 1985: a 2–0 win in the Coppa Italia, with Pisa goals from Kieft (penalty) and then an own goal by Fabbri.
