Pisa preview: Going down
Following their promotion to Serie A last season, Pisa have struggled throughout this campaign and they head into the 33rd match day of the season sitting rock-bottom on goal difference, behind a very poor Hellas Verona side.
The Tuscans head into this one on the back of a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Roma at the Stadio Olimpico last weekend, with a hat-trick scored by versatile Netherlands international attacker Donyell Malen in the capital city.
Genoa preview: Improved Genovese
Ever since the appointment of former Roma captain and manager Daniele De Rossi, Genoa have been much-improved as they push themselves into the middle-of-the-table after beginning with a nine-match winless run of form under Patrick Vieira.
The Genovese earned themselves another victory last weekend as they defeated Sassuolo by two goals to one at the Luigi Ferraris in Liguria, courtesy of goals from Ruslan Malinovskiy and Caleb Ekuban.

Pisa vs Genoa prediction
Genoa have now won nine of their last 23 matches and have been one of the better sides after beginning as a genuinely woeful outfit. Pisa were always expected to be some way adrift of being competitive in Italy's top-flight and it has proven to be the case. It may not be a thriller for the neutral but Genoa would have to be viewed as firm favourites for this one at Arena Garibaldi.
