The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Pisa and Udinese square off at the Stadio Romeo Anconetani on Sunday. Kosta Runjaic’s men have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the new campaign and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling this weekend.
Pisa were dealt their first defeat of the Serie A campaign just before the international break when they were beaten 1-0 by AS Roma at the Stadio Romeo Anconetani.
Before that, Alberto Gilardino’s side marked their return to the top flight with a dogged display against Atalanta in the season opener on August 24, when they held on to see out a 1-1 draw against Atalanta at Gewiss Stadium.
Pisa ended a 34-year absence from the Serie A last season, when they finished second in the Serie B standings, and they will head into the weekend looking to get off and running in the new campaign.
On the other hand, Udinese turned in a stellar team display last time out when they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan at the San Siro.
Before that, Runjaic’s men picked up a 2-0 victory over lower-tier side Carrarese in the Coppa Italia first round on August 18, one week before kicking off the 2025-26 Serie A campaign with a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona.
Udinese have come into the season off the back of an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign as they finished 12th in the table with 44 points from their 38 matches.
