The Coppa Italia first round drops Pisa and Empoli into a Tuscan grudge match, both clubs still shaking the pre-season dust off. Pisa arrive with momentum: a 4-1 hammering of Bologna in their last friendly showed real attacking intent, even if four absences in defence and attack will test the squad depth.
The numbers back the hosts. Pisa scored in 4 of their last 5 games, conceded in all 5, and produced 3 over-2.5 matches. Empoli are unbeaten in 5 but low on firepower, with only 1 over-2.5 game and 2 clean sheets in that run. Four Pisa players are out injured; Empoli report no absentees, a small but real edge for the visitors.
Still, home advantage and Pisa's attacking output make the 1.90 worth taking. Empoli grind draws, not wins. Pisa at home to win - the price is right.
