Verona and Pisa are set to clash in a high-stakes Serie A match, with both teams experiencing managerial changes and poor form. Verona recently dismissed Paolo Zanetti after a disappointing streak, entrusting Under-19s coach Paolo Sammarco with interim duties. Despite their defensive woes, BTTS remains a favorable bet considering both teams' history in scoring and conceding. Both sides are managerless and have struggled defensively, with Verona conceding the most goals in Serie A. Pisa, winless in their last 12 games, recently appointed Oscar Hiljemark as head coach.

Verona vs Pisa Predictions

With both sides managerless and struggling defensively, I expect chances at both ends. BTTS is my top pick, while a draw also looks likely at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

BTTS on the Cards in Verona


  • Verona have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 home matches
  • Verona have drawn their last 3 games against Pisa
  • Pisa have drawn 3 of their last 4 away matches
  • Pisa have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 matches

Deadlock in the Verona vs Pisa H2H

Verona and Pisa have met on just three occasions in the 21st century. All three fixtures finished deadlocked, including a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in Verona nine years ago. 

Out-of-Form Verona Dismiss Zanetti

Serie A strugglers Hellas Verona have dismissed Paolo Zanetti after an eight-game winless run, ending his 18-month spell in charge. Under-19s coach Paolo Sammarco will take charge for Friday’s fixture.

The out-of-form hosts were thrashed 4-0 by Cagliari in what proved to be Zanetti's final match in charge. The Italian head coach paid the price for a disastrous campaign that leaves Verona second bottom of the table with just 14 points from 23 fixtures.

A lack of defensive reliability remains the biggest issue for I Gialloblu. Verona conceded 41 goals in 23 Serie A games this season - the worst record in Serie A.

Frequently involved in high-scoring outcomes at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, an average of 2.72 goals per game were scored in the hosts' 11 Serie A home fixtures this season.

Poor Pisa Sack Gillardino

Pisa come into Friday's fixture after a 3-1 defeat to Sassuolo, a result that prompted the dismissal of head coach Alberto Gilardino. Former IF Elfsborg boss Oscar Hiljemark has since been appointed as his replacement.

I Nerazzurri have been in dire form, failing to win any of 12 previous Serie A fixtures. The struggling hosts now sit 19th in the division, ahead of Verona on goal difference only.

On the road, Pisa have been a reliable choice for goal chasers this season. An average of 3.8 goals per game were scored in 11 away Serie A games since August.

Nine of those 11 matches finished with both teams on the scoresheet. 

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Verona (3-5-2) Simone Perilli; Tobias Slotsager, Victor Nelsson, Nicolas Valentini; Pol Lirola, Antoine Bernede, Sandi Lovric, Abdou Harroui, Martin Frese; Daniel Mosquera, Gift Orban.

Verona have five potential absentees this weekend. Rafik Belghali and Tomas Suslov are ruled out, while Amin Sarr is suspended. Roberto Gagliardini and Armel Bella-Kotchap face late fitness tests.

Pisa (3-4-2-1) Simone Scuffet; Simone Canestrelli, Antonio Caracciolo, Rosen Bozhinov; Idrissa Toure, Marius Marin, Michel Aebischer, Samuele Angori; Stefano Moreo, Matteo Tramoni; Henrik Meistec.

Pisa boss Oscar Hiljemark has a handful of selection issues. Raul Albiol, Adrian Semper, Isak Vural and Juan Cuadrado are set to remain sidelined, while Daniel Denoon remains doubtful.

Verdict

Both teams struggle to keep clean sheets, and a potentially back-and-forth contest could develop this weekend. I'm banking on both teams to score on Friday.
