Bologna will host Pisa at the Renato Dall'Ara on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign. The home side have had a rather difficult campaign so far and will be looking to turn things around before they head into the international break as they sit ninth in the league table with seven points from an obtainable 15.
They played out a 2-2 draw against winless Lecce in their last league outing and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points following Jens Odgaard's go-ahead strike in the 71st minute before their opponents leveled the scores deep into additional time. Bologna then turned their attention to continental football during the week, playing out a 1-1 home draw with Freiburg.
Pisa, meanwhile, are back in the top flight after a 34-year absence but have work to do if they are to remain in the division by season end. They picked up a welcome point in their goalless draw with Fiorentina last weekend but failed to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.
The visitors sit 18th in the table with just two points and will be desperate to pick up their first Serie A win of the season.
Bologna vs Pisa Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Sunday's game will mark the 25th meeting between the two teams. Bologna have won 10 of their previous matchups while Pisa have won half that tally, with their other nine contests ending in draws.
- The two teams last faced off in a Coppa Italia clash back in August 2019 which the hosts won 3-0 to register a fifth consecutive unbeaten outing in the fixture.
- The visitors have failed to score any goals in four of their last five games in this fixture.
- Pisa have scored three goals in the Italian top-flight this term. Only Torino, Genoa and Hellas Verona (2) have managed fewer.
Bologna vs Pisa Prediction
The Rossoblù are on a run of back-to-back draws and have won just one of their last five games across all competitions. They are, however, undefeated on home turf this season and will head into the weekend clash as sure-fire favorites although they will need to be wary of complacency.
The Nerazzurri are in poor form ahead of this one and will need something extra special to avoid defeat when they hit the road on Sunday.
Prediction: Bologna 2-0 Pisa
