Serie A

Pisa vs. Cremonese opens matchday 11

Pisa, still chasing their first win, are set to host Cremonese.

Matchday 11 kicks off with Pisa vs. Cremonese at the Cetilar Arena. The home side, who lost the chance to secure their first league victory of the season after surrendering a two-goal lead against Torino in Turin, will be hoping to finally break their duck against Cremonese. The visitors, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from their defeat to Juventus and stay in the top half of the table.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

In Pisa, the official head-to-head record between the two sides stands at 23 matches: 12 nerazzurri wins (latest 2-1 in last year's Serie B), 5 draws (latest 0-0 in Serie B 2023/24) and 6 grigiorossi victories (latest 1-0 in Serie C1 2006/07). Pisa haven't won a league match since their home game against Cremonese, 2-1 in Serie B last 13 May (goals from Moreo, Tourè and Bonazzoli pulling one back for the grigiorossi). It's the first time Pisa-Cremonese is being played in Serie A.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pisa haven't scored at home yet in this Serie A: the last nerazzurri goal at the Arena in the top flight dates back to 12 May 1991 in a Pisa-Bari 1-0, Fiorentini's goal in the 76th minute. Since then, the goal drought has reached 554'. Moreover, the Tuscans haven't won yet in this Serie A (along with Verona and Fiorentina); their last victory dates back to that very Pisa-Bari. Since then, 12,598 days have passed since their last win in the top flight.

COACHES and PLAYERS

Between Alberto Gilardino and Davide Nicola, second official meeting: the only previous encounter was Empoli-Genoa 0-0 in February 2024 in Serie A.
