Pisa Sporting Club is preparing to face Mantova on Sunday (at “Martelli” Stadium, 9:00 p.m.) in a match for Matchday 5 of the Serie BKT Championship. Let’s take a look at the statistics and interesting facts about the upcoming match, courtesy of Opta Facts by Stats Perform:
- Pisa has won its last two matches against Mantova in Serie BKT and has never recorded three straight wins against the Lombardy-based team in that competition.
- Mantova has suffered two losses in its last three home games against Pisa in Serie BKT (1 win); the Lombardy-based team had not lost any of its previous four matches against the Tuscan side in the league (3 wins, 1 draw).
- With their 2-0 victory over Sampdoria, Mantova has tied Palermo for first place in the standings with 10 points, thanks to three wins and one draw. The Lombardy-based team could remain undefeated in their first five Serie BKT matches for the third time in their history, following the 1965–66 season (4W, 1D) and the 2005–06 season (4W, 1D).
- Following their victory in their first away game against Juve Stabia (3-0), Pisa could win its first two away games in a Serie BKT tournament (excluding forfeits) for the first time since 2021, when it defeated Ternana and Vicenza under head coach Luca D’Angelo.
- No team has created more scoring chances in this league than Pisa: 13, the same as Hellas Verona, and four more than Mantova (nine); however, the Lombardy-based team boasts a higher conversion rate: 33% compared to the Nerazzurri’s 31%.
- Francesco Ruocco has scored in each of the first four games of this season; over the last 20 Serie BKT seasons (since 2007–08), only two players have scored in each of the first five games of a Serie B season: Giampaolo Pazzini in 2016–17 and Francesco Tavano in 2011–12.
- The last of Mattéo Tramoni’s three multi-goal games in Serie BKT came against Mantova (a two-goal performance) on March 16, 2025, at the Arena Garibaldi. The Pisa midfielder is one of only three players with at least 10 shots on goal (12) and at least 10 scoring chances (exactly 10), along with Bernat Guiu and Giuseppe Ambrosino, in the current season.
