Competition: Serie B

Market: Pisa win

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

Looking to widen their buffer in the automatic promotion spots, Pisa will welcome Salernitana to the Arena Garibaldi on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, cementing their spot as one of Serie B’s ultimate surprise packages this season, Pisa are in the midst of what has been a stunning run of form. Leading the chase to book a famous top-flight return in 2025, Filippo Inzaghi’s side find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Heading into Italy’s festive interval with a gritty 1-0 victory away at Sampdoria, the Nerazzurri have collected 10 points from their previous four Serie B appearances. Simply looking to widen their buffer in the automatic promotion chase, the Tuscany-based outfit have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous eight consecutive appearances. With that purple patch stemming all the way back to November 23rd, Pisa have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil. Last seen at the Arena Garibaldi claiming a 2-1 win against Carrarese, Sunday’s hosts have registered 13 points from any of their last five Serie B showdowns in front of their own supporters.

As for the visitors, claiming what was an essential 2-1 victory at home against Reggiana last weekend, Salernitana will be desperate to use that late comeback as a platform to build on. However, despite opening up the 2024/25 campaign with their sights set on clinching an immediate Serie A return, the Garnets have endured a public crisis this time around. Opening Sunday’s showdown sat in the relegation zone, Roberto Breda’s camp have continued to show a string of issues this season. Marking their return from Italy’s festive break with a 2-1 defeat against Sassuolo, the Campania-based outfit have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous seven consecutive appearances. Likewise, recording just a pair of Serie B wins since the start of October, Salernitana have also collected just a single point from any of their last four showdowns away from the Stadio Arechi. Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Serie B standings, we are backing a home victory here.
