Pisa take on the visitors Como in the round 19 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 6th at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani (Pisa).
Pisa relatively recently made their way into the second division. It was clear, however, that their ambitions were quite high and that they were aiming to move beyond Serie B. As a result, the club opted for a high-profile solution, and last season the task was completed, once again proving strong results at this level, although the project then changed direction. Another well-known name took over, and the start was difficult, even if it later seemed that progress had been made. A six-match unbeaten run followed, capped by a long-awaited 1–0 win over fellow newcomers Cremonese. After that, several scoreless defeats arrived, and only a draw against Cagliari brought some relief. Following the expected setback against Juventus, Pisa then shared the points with Genoa in the last round, finishing 1–1. Overall, recent performances suggest that Pisa are still struggling to find consistency against stronger opposition. Too often, positive spells are followed by downturns, which makes it hard to believe they are ready to compete confidently at this level.

Como still hope to seriously surprise this season. The Lake side, under their current ownership, also set the goal of finally returning to Serie A, and they achieved it in 2024. The strategy chosen before that campaign looked risky, but the debut season ended with 49 points and a solid tenth place. After the break, they not only maintained their momentum but went on a long run where a narrow loss to Bologna remained the only defeat for quite some time. Only in December did Como start losing again, and exclusively to top opponents, such as heavy defeats against Inter and a narrow loss to Roma. They then responded with an emphatic 3–0 win over Lecce. In the latest round against Udinese, it was far tougher, but even a minimal margin proved enough to secure another three points. Their recent results underline a growing sense of confidence and control in matches against mid-table rivals. Como are showing an ability to grind out wins, which keeps them firmly in the race to exceed expectations once again.
After three consecutive draws, before promotion to Serie A the Lake side finally claimed a win in spring 2024, beating Pisa 3–1 at home. The visitors look stronger and should aim to make the most of this matchup. The pick here is a Como win.
Prediction for the match: Como to win.
