Pisa Vs Lecce: Lecce Face Pisa With 29 Points and Away Woes
Pisa vs Lecce arrives Friday with both sides stuck near the bottom of Serie A, and the table leaves little margin at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani. Pisa sit 20th on 18 points after a 1-0 loss to Parma, while Lecce are 17th on 29 points after a 0-0 draw with Hellas Verona.
That gap is still fragile. Lecce have only one win in their last 12 away matches, and Pisa have scored just one draw in their last 12 home matches while also going through 11 straight home matches conceding goals.
Arena Garibaldi pressure
The match gives Pisa a direct chance to reduce the gap around them, but their recent numbers at home are the problem. They have one win in their last 11 home matches, two consecutive home defeats, and two consecutive home matches without a win.
Pisa's last league outing ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Parma on 2026-04-25, with Adrian Semper, Simone Canestrelli, Antonio Caracciolo, Rosen Bozhinov, Mehdi Léris, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Michel Aebischer, Isak Vural, Samuele Angori, Stefano Moreo, and Filip Stojilkovic in the starting line-up. That result left them on 18 points and still chasing a lift from the bottom of the table.
Lecce's road problems
Lecce arrive with a better points total, but the away record is the bigger warning sign. They have one win in their last nine matches, are on a run of six consecutive matches without a win, and have gone five consecutive away matches without victory.
Oscar Hiljemark's side also played on 2026-04-25, drawing 0-0 with Hellas Verona with Wladimiro Falcone, Danilo Veiga, Gaby Jean, Jamil Siebert, Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, Lassana Coulibaly, Santiago Pierotti, Omri Gandelman, Lameck Banda, and Nikola Stulic in the starting line-up. The one extra edge for Lecce sits in the meeting history: the last time these teams played, Lecce won 1-0.
Di Francesco against Pisa
Eusebio Di Francesco has faced Pisa on two occasions and won both times. That record gives Lecce a clear touchpoint in a match that already carries weight because of the table positions and the form lines on both sides.
For Pisa, the assignment is simple: stop the home slide and make use of the fact that Lecce have not been reliable away from home. For Lecce, a point would extend their two-match unbeaten run, but anything less would keep the pressure on a team that has not won in six league matches.
