Pisa's picture looks very different. They beat Catanzaro but lost to Padova, Juve Stabia and Virtus Entella in their last five domestic outings, plus a heavy Coppa Italia defeat away at Fiorentina. Only one win in that spell tells its own story.

Palermo's control looks more consistent right now, though Pisa's poor run has come across several different competitions.

Comparative Team Statistics: Pisa vs Palermo

History leans surprisingly Pisa's way

Look back over the last few meetings between these two and Pisa have actually had the better of it. They won 2-1 away at Palermo in January 2025, and beat them at home in both August 2024 and April 2024 as well.

Palermo's only win in that recent sample came in December 2023, and a couple of the other games finished level. These have tended to be high-scoring, open contests rather than one-sided ones.

None of that head-to-head form reflects how either side is playing right now, but it does show this fixture doesn't always follow league position.

Table already shows a clear gap

After five rounds, Palermo sit top of Serie B with 13 points from four wins and a draw, without having lost yet. Pisa are down in 11th with seven points, having won two, drawn one and lost two.

It's still very early in the season, so a six-point gap can close quickly, but the pattern so far mirrors what we're seeing in recent form too.

Key men and discipline notes

Palermo's goals have mostly come from D. Johnsen, who has three in his last five appearances, with D. Vavassori chipping in with two. That's a decent scoring spread for a team that isn't overly reliant on one man.

Pisa:

Penalty cards:

M. Léris x 1

A. Calabresi x 3

İ. Vural x 2

At the other end, Pisa's A. Calabresi and İ. Vural have both picked up multiple yellow cards recently, and M. Léris was sent off in one of his last four matches. Discipline is something to keep an eye on if Pisa end up chasing the game.
