Pisa vs Como Prediction - Serie A: A one-sided match at Arena Garibaldi
Pisa, languishing at the bottom of the table, will face a thriving Como side currently sitting in sixth place. The disparity in form and squad strength will make things very difficult for the home team.
The match between Pisa and Como at 9:00 PM on January 6, 2026, at the Arena Garibaldi stadium holds contrasting significance for both clubs. While Pisa is struggling to find a glimmer of hope for survival from the bottom of the table, Como has the opportunity to consolidate its position in the leading group of Serie A.
21:00 on January 6th - Serie A Round
Based on the current situation, Como enters this match as the clear favorites. The away team is currently ranked 6th with 30 points after 17 matches, while Pisa is in 20th place with only 12 points after 18 rounds. The 18-point gap is the clearest evidence of the difference in quality between the two sides this season.
Outstanding form and statistics
Pisa's recent form has been extremely alarming. In their last five matches, the team has only managed two draws and suffered three defeats. Notably, Pisa has only won one game since the start of the season. Their limited scoring ability (an average of 0.7 goals per game) while their defense concedes 1.4 goals per game is the main reason they are stuck at the bottom of the league table.
Conversely, Como is showing a more positive performance with 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 rounds. Como's scoring efficiency is 1.4 goals per game, double that of their opponent, while their defense is also extremely solid, conceding an average of only 0.7 goals per game.
| Team | Location | Point | Form in the last 5 matches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Como | 6 | 30 | Win 3, Loss 2 |
| Pisa | 20 | 12 | Draw 2, Loss 3 |
History of confrontations: An unbelievable balance
Despite the significant difference in current standings, the head-to-head history shows Pisa's resilience against Como. In the last five encounters, four matches ended in a draw. However, in their most recent meeting in March 2024, Como broke the deadlock with a 3-1 victory. This could provide a crucial psychological advantage for the away team in this match.
Team situation: Heavy losses for the home team.
Pisa is facing a serious staffing crisis. The list of absentees includes:
- E. Akinsanmiro:Absent due to performing international duties.
- J. Cuadrado and C. Stengs:Thigh injury.
- I. Vural:Knee injury.
- Mateus Lusuardi:Not registered to compete.
- R. Albiol:His availability for the match is still uncertain due to injury.
On the other side of the pitch, Como was also missing several key players, including their main striker.A. Morata, along with J. Addai, A. Diao (thigh injury) and E. Goldaniga (heel injury). However, with better squad depth, Como's coach is expected to have worthy replacements.
Analysis and prediction of results
With a predicted win rate of 45% for the away team and 45% for a draw, the chances of Pisa causing an upset are very low (only 10%). Home advantage might help Pisa trouble their opponents in the first half, but Como's attacking prowess is likely to prevail at the right moment.
The match is predicted to be low-scoring due to the pragmatic playing style of both teams and injuries to their attacking lines. A draw or a minimal victory for Como is the most likely scenario at Arena Garibaldi.
