Yet their last outing, a 3–0 away win at Vicenza Virtus on 10 October, showed a side finding their feet. Two clean wins in five games if you count the 3–0 at Juve Stabia on 6 September, and the xG for across three matches with data tells a story of 2.15 per game. The blade is sharp, it is.
Cremonese, though, travel with a different story. Their last five games read 2 wins, 3 draws, 0 losses, and the draws carry a quiet weight: 0–0 at Arezzo on 10 October, 0–0 at home to Virtus Entella on 19 September. Two scoreless draws in five games. Their xG for across three matches with data is 0.28 per game, and the actual goals in those same three? Zero. The sword is sheathed, it is.
Head-to-head, the recent meetings at this ground tell a simple tale: Pisa 1–0 Cremonese on 7 November 2025. One goal, one team, the home side. The reverse fixture at Cremonese's ground on 10 May 2026 was a 3–0 Cremonese win, but that is a different ground, a different story. The older meetings stretch back two years and dilute the picture; we lean on what is fresh.
The matchup tables make the away side's defensive nature plain. Over 20 away games, Cremonese have kept a clean sheet in 7, conceded 1.25 per game, and in 16 of those 20, at least one team failed to score. Their last 10 across all venues show 8 of 10 as BTTS no. Pisa at home, meanwhile, have seen at least one team fail to score in 9 of 20. The two records point the same direction: a quiet night is likely.
But the counter-argument must be heard, for wisdom demands it. Pisa's last five games all went over 2.5 goals. Their xG for is 2.15 per game. They scored 9 in those five. A side that scores freely, even if they concede freely too, might find the second goal. And Cremonese's 1–0 away win at Juventus on 2 October, though a friendly, showed they can find a way to score on the road. The 0–0 at Arezzo came with a red card in the 59th minute, which changes the shape of a game entirely.
Key Points:
- Cremonese's away record: 16 of 20 games saw at least one team fail to score; 7 clean sheets in 20 away games
- Cremonese's xG for is 0.28 per game across 3 matches with data; actual goals in those games: 0
- Pisa's last 5 games all went over 2.5 goals, but their home record shows 9 of 20 as BTTS no
- Recent head-to-head at Pisa's ground: 1–0 Pisa win (7 November 2025)
- Cremonese's last 5: 2W 3D 0L, with 2 scoreless draws and 3 BTTS no
The evidence bends toward a night where at least one side stays scoreless. I recommend both teams not to score.
