Ternana take on the visitors Pisa in the postponed round 1 match of Italian Serie B. The match will be played at Libero Liberati Stadium on Wednesday, September 7th.
Ternana is a team from the middle of Serie B standings with no talent to battle for promotion but with enough skills to stay away from relegation battle. The start of the new season of Cristian Panucci’’s men is quite slow. The team need to wait till the penalty shootout to eliminate mediocre Pordenone while following round was lost to Cesena with no chanced, 0-2. The only played league match also turned in 0-2 loss to Cittadella. So, the team failed to score a single goal in three matches of the season.

Pisa had earned promotion to the Serie B in the end of previous season. They finished second in Lega Pro with 62 points in 34 matches and earned the right to battle for promotion in playoffs. Pisa eliminated one by such teams as Maceratese, 3-1, Pordenone, 3-0, 0-0, and Foggia in the final, 4-2, 1-1. The club also appointed legenday Gennaro Gattuso this summer and successfully passed two rounds of Coppa Italia, beating Brescia, 2-0 and Salernitana on penalties after 1-1 draw. This is how Pisa are on seven-match undefeated run since the beginning of May.
The opponents met four times and all of these head-to-heads were quite even battles with neither of the teams managed to score over 1 goal. We should expect the team to continue this run of low-scoring results in matches against one another.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
