Pisa - Lazio predictions

The 3.91 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Lazio to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

Pisa returned home from their previous Serie A trip with a huge point in the bag. They went behind after the first 45 minutes but pulled no punches after the break to earn a much deserved – and completely surprising - Milan draw.

Lazio are bursting with confidence after their latest Serie A home victory. Despite being tagged clear underdogs in the matchup against Juventus, they were ahead at both half time and the final whistle.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Lazio’s recent matches have been relatively uneventful. The previous two, for instance, ended with less than 2 goals at the final whistle.

The hosts are looking invariably shaky in their form. After several blunders in the early season brought them to the relegation zone, they’ll have to face down Lazio and likely lose.

Should they manage to earn 3 more points, the visitors will claw their way to a Europa League qualifying spot. They still have a lot of time to do so, but a team like Pisa stands a decent chance to win this Thursday.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.32 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
