Pisa vs Lecce opens Serie A Matchday 35

Lecce are chasing safety in Pisa, while the Tuscan side must win to keep their survival hopes alive.

Matchday 35 of Serie A gets underway with Pisa vs Lecce, kicking off at 20:45 CEST at the Cetilar Arena. Pisa are hanging by a thread and must win while hoping that Cremonese fail to beat Lazio on Monday to avoid being mathematically relegated from Serie A. Lecce’s situation is only marginally more positive: after draws against Fiorentina and Verona they are currently safe, but still need points to try to shake off Cremonese, who sit third from bottom just one point behind.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 19 previous meetings between the two sides in Pisa: 12 wins for the Nerazzurri (most recent 1–0, Serie B 2021/22), 4 draws (most recent 1–1, Serie B 2007/08) and 3 wins for the Salento side (most recent 0–1, Serie B 2020/21).

The last Serie A match between the two sides at the Arena dates back to 16 September 1990, a 4-0 win for the Tuscan side with goals from Simeone, Piovanelli (brace) and Padovano.
