- Lecce won 1-0 at home to Pisa in Serie A when the sides met four months ago.
- Lecce has three wins from 17 away fixtures in Serie A this season, scoring ten goals in those contests.
- Pisa have lost each of their last five matches, including defeats to Roma, Genoa and Parma Calcio.
Pisa’s poor form continues under Hiljemark
Oscar Hiljemark’s appointment as Pisa head coach in February 2026 came too late to reverse their poor form, and the early signs have suggested he will have a tough time turning the club’s fortunes around.
Pisa have lost each of their first five games under Hiljemark, including defeats to Europa League hopefuls Roma and Genoa, as well as fellow strugglers Parma Calcio. Stefano Moreo has been their best attacking option, scoring six Serie A goals in 33 appearances in 2025-2026, but Hiljemark has maintained the pragmatism of his predecessors in the team’s 3-4-2-1 structure.
The hosts have lost their last two home games, while Lecce have one draw and two defeats from their last three away games, so the odds for Under 2.5 goals at 1.58 seem a little low for this Serie A clash between two struggling outfits. The Pisa vs Lecce prediction is that both teams - No could be a better play, however, at 1.72, given Pisa’s recent form and Lecce’s solid defensive unit.

Lecce are a well-organised side
The home side have won two of their 17 home games in Serie A, scoring only eight goals. Lecce are well off the pace themselves in 17th with 29 points from 34 games, and Pisa are bottom of the table with 18 points after 34 matches.
Eusebio Di Francesco has built a solid 4-3-3 foundation at Lecce since his appointment in June 2025, and the quality and tactical structure of his side could see them eke out an away win.
Lecce prioritise width and occupy the half-spaces well in their 4-3-3, and can progress the ball quickly through midfield, press opponents and look to exploit transitions. Lameck Banda leads the club’s scoring charts with just three goals in 28 Serie A games this term, showing the balanced nature of their attack.
This Pisa vs Lecce betting tips section highlights that the match will be crucial for Pisa to prove their Serie A credentials against a more settled side, but we’re tipping Lecce to edge it at 2.67. Additionally, the Pisa vs Lecce prediction remains that this contest between Pisa’s more measured, compact style and Lecce’s more dynamic, positional play could be a cagey affair, but we’re backing the away side to just have enough quality to secure all three points.
