Pisa – Padova

Pisa’s home defeat at the hands of Padova left the Tuscan side still perched in tenth place with seven points from five games, their goal tally unchanged at eight for and eight against. The visitors moved up to eleventh, also on seven points, but improved their goal difference slightly to five scored and six conceded. Padova’s solitary league win over Pisa this season proved decisive, as the lone goal secured all three points and widened the gap between the two mid‑table rivals. Both clubs remain locked in a tight cluster, each needing a win in their next fixtures to climb out of the lower half of the table.
