Pisa vs Virtus Entella prediction, odds and how to watch

Südtirol edged a tightly contested Serie B opener against Virtus Entella thanks to a 90th-minute goal, winning despite being second-best for large portions of the match. The result raises clear questions about what Entella's coaches need to address on the road.

Calcio Padova claimed a disciplined 1-0 victory at Pisa, with a 63rd-minute left-foot finish settling a match the visitors controlled far more effectively than the scoreline might suggest. The result extends a troubling pattern for a Pisa side who continue to generate volume without converting it into anything meaningful.

Mantova host a Pisa side that has not won away from home in their last ten attempts, making Sunday's Serie B fixture at the Stadio Danilo Martelli a potentially straightforward afternoon for the home side, provided they impose their structure early.

Two sides carrying serious structural problems into this fixture make for a fascinating tactical puzzle. Cremonese have lost three of their last five at home, but Virtus Entella have not won away from home in their last five attempts, conceding eight goals in the process.

Pisa host Virtus Entella on Friday night in a Serie B fixture that carries genuine weight for both clubs, with the home side's alarming form making this a far more complicated evening than the standings alone would suggest.

Virtus Entella welcome Vicenza to Chiavari carrying the weight of a home record that demands respect, while the visitors arrive having won nothing on their travels this season. Something must give on Sunday afternoon.

Virtus Entella have won three of their last five home matches while Cesena have scored zero goals in four away games this season. The numbers point in one direction only.
