Inter vs Pisa

Inter

<p>Inter welcome AC Pisa to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza for a Serie A football fixture following a 2-1 loss to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League.</p> <p>Back in Serie A, Inter sit top on 49 points, three clear of AC Milan, while Pisa are newly promoted and near the foot of the table.</p> <p>Inter arrive in formidable domestic form. They lead the table with 49 points, three ahead of their closest rivals, AC Milan, and Cristian Chivu’s side have a 75% win rate across the campaign.</p> <p>Consistency has been the hallmark of their title push: Inter are unbeaten in 46 of their last 54 league matches. They have suffered no defeats in their last nine Serie A games and have scored in nine consecutive league fixtures.</p> <p>Their control of matches is also evident early on, having gone 13 straight games without losing at half-time. That statistic underlines their tactical discipline and their ability to dictate tempo from the outset.</p> <p>Goals have rarely been an issue for the Nerazzurri, especially at home. Four of their last six league matches at San Siro have produced over 2.5 goals, reflecting attacking depth and a willingness to press for decisive margins.</p> <p>Picking up three successive victories (WWDWW) will be one of the objectives for Friday’s clash as they look to restore a six-point lead over city rivals Milan. That potential margin frames the fixture within the wider league context.</p> <p>A 3-5-2 formation with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in attack is expected against Pisa.</p>

Pisa

<p>AC Pisa [LDLDD], travel to Milan facing an uphill task. They are currently 19th with 14 points.</p> <p>Pisa have managed 12 draws from 23 matches. Wins have been scarce, with just one win in their last 20 league games.</p> <p>Defensive fragility away from home has been a major concern. They are conceding an average of 2.00 goals per away match.</p> <p>They have allowed at least one goal in 10 consecutive away Serie A fixtures. They have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last six away games.</p> <p>That said, Pisa are not without encouragement. They have avoided defeat in six of their last seven away league matches, suggesting an ability to frustrate opponents and remain competitive, even when under sustained pressure.</p> <p>Their challenge will be maintaining concentration for 90 minutes against an Inter side renowned for exploiting lapses, particularly in the second half. The match will test how Pisa manage those moments across the full ninety minutes.</p> <p>The 19th placed side could appear with Henrik Meister at the attacking end of a 4-2-3-1 formation. The exact lineup remains subject to change.</p>
