Pisa – Ascoli

Pisa will host fifth‑placed Ascoli in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. The home side sit tenth with seven points from five games – two wins, a draw and two defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at eight for and eight against. Ascoli, meanwhile, sit comfortably in the top five on ten points, having recorded three victories, one stalemate and a single loss while boasting a solid 7‑4 goal difference. The gap in points and the contrasting form suggest the visitors will look to extend their lead, while Pisa will be desperate to close the gap and climb out of the relegation zone. Both teams will be keen to improve their head‑to‑head record as the season edges toward its decisive phase.
