Roma to Win

Gian Piero Gasperini began his Roma tenure with a victory, as summer signing Wesley Franca netted the decisive goal at the Stadio Olimpico. The Giallorossi lined up in a familiar 3-4-3 system, as they did last season under Claudio Ranieri, which has allowed them to look settled quickly under their new boss. 

Against a disciplined Bologna defence, Roma carved out several promising chances and should really have scored more than just one goal. Confidence in the Roman camp seems incredibly high - Gasperini’s men will be aiming to build on their winning start and maintain their perfect record.

Both Teams to Score

However, picking up a win this weekend might not be a simple task for the Giallorossi, as newly-promoted Pisa showed that they can be frustrating opponents. After a 34-year absence from the Italian top flight, Pisa made an impressive return to the top flight in the opening gameweek, holding Atalanta to a 1-1 draw away from home. 

Pisa finished second in Serie B last season to secure automatic promotion. Having scored in 17 of their 19 matches at the Romeo Anconetani Stadium, Pisa were particularly impressive in front of a home support.

Idrissa Toure to have 1+ Shot

Idrissa Toure racked up three shots against Atalanta on the opening weekend, which was the most of any Pisa player. Operating from a left wingback role, Toure enjoys a license to push forward, and he tends to try his luck from distance. The German international scored six goals for Pisa last term, the fourth-highest tally in the team. 

Standing at 187cm, Toure also offers a significant aerial threat. In fact, two of his efforts against Atalanta came from dead ball situations. Toure offers a real threat in the final third, and there are a few ways he could get over this line.

Roma have won seven of their last nine away matches in Serie A. 

Prior to that streak, they had failed to win any of their first ten away matches in the 24/25 season - six draws and four losses in that time. 

Toure had an average of 1.69 shots per 90 at home in Serie B last season.

Roma are priced at 1.66 to make it back-to-back league victories on the road. Meanwhile, Pisa come in as underdogs, given odds of 5.5 to cause an upset at the Romeo Anconetani Stadium. The draw comes in at 3.5.

🟠 Underway in the Gasperini Era

Roma were impressive against Bologna last time out, and the 1-0 scoreline flattered the visitors. Bryan Cristante struck the post after 23 minutes, getting his head on a pinpoint Matias Soule set-piece, but it was Wesley on his debut who scored the first goal of Roma’s league campaign under Gasperini. Shortly after, Manu Kone spurned a chance worth 0.71 xG, which would have doubled the lead. 

But in the end, that didn’t matter too much. Roma were able to keep Bologna out despite a flurry of late attempts - the visitors were restricted to a total of 0.58 xG from ten shots. It was an overall convincing win for the Romans, who were without both Leon Bailey and Lorenzo Pellegrini, while Paulo Dybala was fit enough only for a 20-minute appearance from the bench. With key personnel still to return, Roma will only expect to grow stronger.

🔵 Pisa Aiming for More Than Just Survival

After guiding Pisa back into the Italian top flight, Filippo Inzaghi has stepped aside to manage Palermo, with Alberto Gilardino taking over as head coach for his second senior managerial role. Importantly, though, Gilardino has experience in guiding a newly-promoted side to safety in Serie A. At Genoa, he secured promotion to the Italian top flight for the 23/24 campaign and then achieved a respectable 11th-place finish in their first season back. 

However, Gilardino was sacked in the preceding season, with Genoa languishing at the bottom of the table in November. The Italian remains relatively unproven at the highest level, but he has opted for a system very similar to his predecessor, allowing the squad to transition smoothly. His side impressed in their opening fixture against Atalanta, playing with real confidenc,e which suggests they can compete in the top flight.


📊 Pisa v Roma H2H

The last time these two sides met was back in 1991 - Roma came out victorious in that game, but Pisa pulled off a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture.
