Pisa preview: Woeful Pisa
Following their promotion to the top-flight of Italian football for the first time in over 60 years last season, Pisa began competitively, in terms of their performance level, but they have managed just one victory in their 28 matches so far this season.
The home team sit rock-bottom in Serie A and ten points adrift of safety with ten games to go. The Tuscans come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Juventus in Turin last weekend.
Cagliari preview: Steadier Sardinians
Cagliari are six points clear of the danger zone ahead of this match day but the Sardinians are in very average form with a bit of pressure growing on manager Fabio Pisacane.
The visitors come into this one on the back of a 2-1 loss at home to Como at the Unipol Demus in their most recent outing last weekend, extending their winless run of form to five matches.

Pisa vs Cagliari prediction
Alberto Gilardino was appointed the manager of Pisa in the summer and he has helped them become competitive but they have lacked the quality to be remotely effective. They now face a Cagliari side that have been much more competitive but also lack a fair amount of quality with rookie coach Pisacane. However, backing anyone against Pisa is often the way to go.
Pisa vs Cagliari tip: Double chance – Cagliari to win or draw
