Roma vs. Pisa kicks off Matchday 32

The Giallorossi have picked up just three points from their last four games, from a win against Lecce, and are coming off a loss at San Siro against Inter. They need to turn things around if they want to close in on fourth place. Pisa, meanwhile, after defeats to Como and Torino, must win to keep their survival hopes alive.
