Pisa currently sit comfortably in second place with 72 points, just behind Sassuolo, looking to cement their promotion hopes. Cremonese, fighting for a playoff spot, are fourth with 58 points. The odds favor Pisa with Bet365 offering 2.30 for a home win, 3.30 for a draw, and 3.10 for Cremonese—meaning it's a tight game with slight edge for the home side.

Looking at recent form, Pisa lost their last match but have been strong at home, with 14 wins and just 1 loss. Cremonese’s form is a bit mixed, but they tend to perform well on the road with 12 wins out of 17 matches away. Their last five direct duels? Pisa edged Crema 1-0 earlier this month, and prior meetings have been tight, often with low goals.

Pisa's strengths? Solid defense and home crowd support. Weakness? Slight inconsistencies away from home. Cremonese are dangerous on the counter and have shown resilience, but they’ve struggled to keep clean sheets lately.
