Fiorentina vs Pisa Preview
Fiorentina welcome Pisa to the Stadio Artemio Franchi buoyed by a thrilling 4-2 victory over Venezia in Serie A, a result that provided a timely lift under returning manager Paolo Vanoli. Franco Mastantuono's hat-trick in that fixture underlined the attacking quality at Vanoli's disposal. Defensive fragility remains a concern, however, with 11 goals conceded across four league outings. Expect significant rotation here as Vanoli balances cup ambitions with Serie A commitments.
Pisa arrive in Florence enduring a wretched run, having lost three of their last four matches across all competitions. A 4-1 home hammering by Virtus Entella in Serie B was a particularly chastening afternoon for Paolo Bianco's side. Their route to this round was hardly convincing either, requiring penalties to see off Empoli after a 1-1 draw. With the league campaign the clear priority, wholesale changes to the starting eleven are anticipated.
Fiorentina's home win at 1.35 represents the standout selection in this Tuscan derby. The Viola boast a commanding head-to-head record, winning 13 of 15 previous encounters, and Pisa have never triumphed at the Artemio Franchi. Franco Mastantuono's hat-trick against Venezia suggests the hosts carry genuine attacking threat, even with expected squad rotation.
Pisa's recent form gives little cause for optimism. Three defeats in four outings, including a 4-1 hammering at home to Virtus Entella, point to a side struggling for consistency. Manager Paolo Bianco is likely to rest key players with Serie B survival the priority, further weakening their prospects in Florence.
The over 2.5 goals market at 1.56 also merits consideration. Fiorentina have conceded 11 goals across four Serie A matches, highlighting defensive frailties that Pisa could exploit, while the hosts' attacking potency under Vanoli should ensure goals at the other end. A comfortable Fiorentina victory with goals at both ends looks plausible. Odds correct at time of publication.

Low confidence
A mirror image of formations sets the stage here, with both sides lining up in a 4-3-3. Fiorentina's probable XI carries reasonable confidence behind it, whereas Pisa's arrangement is drawn from a single speculative source, so Nerazzurri supporters should treat their side's shape with a degree of caution ahead of kickoff.
For the Viola, Franco Mastantuono and Nicolò Fagioli offer creative thrust through the middle, while Pisa will look to Filippo Pittarello to provide an attacking focal point on the counter. This Coppa Italia fixture represents a genuine opportunity for fringe players on both sides to stake a claim.
