Form and Line-up
With two rounds left in the season, we can already objectively sum up Pisa's return to the Serie A. The team have proved completely unprepared for the step up. They are currently on a run of seven defeats in a row with an aggregate score of 2:17. The last round against Cremonese looked like pure agony: zero shots on goal, two red cards and just one corner.
Key numbers for Pisa:
Pisa have the lowest possession in the league (40.4%).
Pisa are 15th in xG (37.4) and 18th for shots on target (2.8).
Pisa are seventh for big chances missed (49).
Probable Pisa line-up
(3-5-2): Adrian Semper — Arturo Calabresi, Antonio Caracciolo, Simone Canestrelli — Mehdi Leris, Michel Aebischer, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Isak Vural, Samuele Angori — Filip Stojilkovic, Stefano Moreo.

Form and Line-up
Napoli suffered a sensational 2:3 home defeat to Bologna in the previous round and, to be honest, even then there was an element of good fortune, as they produced only 0.8 xG in total. On the plus side, first-choice defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo returned to the starting line-up and even got on the scoresheet, but that did nothing to help the defence. The visitors now have just one win in their last five matches, and that came against relegation-bound Cremonese.
Key numbers for Napoli:
Napoli are third for possession (58.2%).
Napoli are eighth in xG (48.5).
Napoli are sixth for goals from set pieces (11).
Probable Napoli line-up
(3-4-3): Vanja Milinkovic-Savic — Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Alessandro Buongiorno — Matteo Politano, Scott McTominay, Stanislav Lobotka, Miguel Gutierrez — Giovane, Alisson Santos, Rasmus Hojlund.
Unavailable: David Neres, Romelu Lukaku (both injured), Kevin De Bruyne (doubtful).
