| On matchday 35, bottom of the table Pisa hosts 17th-placed Lecce. For Pisa, it's their last chance to postpone their mathematical relegation, while a win for Lecce would put them in a huge position to secure their survival.Both team's survival in the league is at stake in this match which for the hosts is only mathematically possible. Perhaps the newly promoted team has completely lost its motivation and Lecce hasn't won in quite some time, but a victory on Friday would be a massive step towards survival for them. If they ultimately can't beat a club that has lost 9 of its last 10 games, then sooner or later they will find themselves in the relegation zone, perhaps as early as this weekend if Cremonese manage to win against Lazio. Pisa is practically relegated and has the most vulnerable defense in the league. A whopping 61 conceded goals speak volumes in this regard. Combined with the enormous pressure on Lecce, the visitors must deliver offensive style of play. Lecce needs the win, Pisa has nothing left to lose and that's why we could expect an open exchange of blows. |
