Pisa will entertain Lazio at Arena Garibaldi in Serie A on Thursday. The hosts are winless in eight league games and have four wins to their name. The capital club have three wins and are 10th in the standings with 11 points.
The Torri returned to goalscoring ways after four games last week, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by AC Milan in their previous outing. Juan Cuadrado equalized from the penalty spot in the 60th minute, and M’Bala Nzola gave them the lead in the 86th minute. Late drama ensued as Zachary Athekame equalized for Milan in stoppage time.
The visitors have seen an uptick in form and are unbeaten in their last four games. They met Juventus in the previous outing and registered a 1-0 home win. Toma Bašić scored the only goal of the match in the ninth minute, with Danilo Cataldi picking up the assist.

Pisa vs Lazio Prediction
The Torri scored for the first time since September in their previous outing and will look to continue that form here. Interestingly, they are yet to open their goalscoring account at home this season, which is a cause for concern.
Raúl Albiol will miss this match due to a hand injury suffered against Milan last week. Mateus Lusuardi, Tomás Esteves, and Calvin Stengs will also miss this match.
The Biancocelesti have won two of their last four league games while keeping three clean sheets, and will look to build on that form. They have kept clean sheets in their last three games in this fixture.
Maurizio Sarri will be without the services of Samuel Gigot, Nicolo Rovella, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Valentín Castellanos, and Matteo Cancellieri due to injuries.
The capital club have enjoyed a good run of form, and considering Pisa’s winless run in the league thus far, we back the visitors to record a win.
Prediction: Pisa 0-2 Lazio
