On February 13, the 25th round of the Italian Championship will feature a match between Pisa and Milan. The underdog will try to put up a fight against one of the league leaders.
For Pisa, newcomers to the Italian top flight, this season has been extremely challenging. After 24 rounds of Serie A, the team has collected only 15 points, which puts them in second-to-last place, 19th in the standings. The gap from the safe zone is already significant—6 points. In the Coppa Italia, the team was eliminated in the Round of 32 by Torino.
Milan, on the other hand, look very confident under the leadership of Max Allegri. In 23 rounds of the Italian Championship, the Rossoneri have managed to collect 50 points, which currently places them second in the league table. The gap to the leaders, Inter, stands at 8 points, but Milan has a game in hand. In the Coppa Italia, the team narrowly lost to Lazio in the Round of 16, and in the Super Cup, they were eliminated by Napoli in the semifinals.
