Pisa Sporting Club is gearing up to face Verona on Sunday (at Bentegodi Stadium, 5:15 p.m.) in a match for Matchday 8 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:
- Hellas Verona and Pisa have drawn all of their last three matches in Serie BKT, and they have never had a longer streak of draws in the league (they also drew three in a row between 1949 and 1950). Overall, the two teams have faced each other 40 times in the league, with the Gialloblù winning 15 times, the Nerazzurri winning 12 times, and 13 draws.
- After winning—and remaining undefeated— 10 of their first 13 home matches against Pisa in Serie BKT, Hellas Verona has since managed only two wins in their last seven home games against the Nerazzurri (3 draws, 2 losses), failing to score in four of those matches.
- Hellas Verona has never repeated the same result in the first seven matchdays of this Serie BKT season (2W, 2D, 3 Ls). However, following the 2-2 draw against Catanzaro in the most recent matchday, they could draw two consecutive games in Serie BKT for the first time since March and April 2019 (three in that instance, with Fabio Grosso at the helm).
- Following victories over Vicenza (3-0) and Cremonese (3-1), Pisa could record three straight wins in Serie BKT for the first time since April and May 2025. The Nerazzurri could also score at least three goals in more than two consecutive matches for the second time in their history in the tournament, having previously achieved this between January and February 1939 (three).
- No team has had more different players score than Pisa in this Serie BKT season: 10, the same as league-leading Palermo and four more than Hellas Verona, their opponent this matchday. Both the Gialloblù and the Nerazzurri have scored 14 goals in the first seven matchdays of the tournament, trailing only the Rosanero’s 16.
- Daniel Mosquera has scored three braces in his first three Serie BKT appearances; the last player to record at least four multi-goal games in a row in the competition was Massimo Coda in March 2021 (four braces while playing for Lecce in that instance). Across Europe’s five major leagues and their respective second divisions, only Raphinha has recorded more multi-goal games than Mosquera (three, the same as Klaus, Mbappé, Raimondo, and Yamal).
- Stefano Moreo is, along with Denis Johnsen, one of only two players in this league to have scored a goal and provided an assist at least twice in a single Serie BKT match. Moreo could also score in two consecutive games in the tournament for the first time since March and April 2025 (against Cosenza and Modena in that instance).
