🔴 Pisa-Lecce 0-0 | 🧨 Tiago Gabriel key, Akinsanmiro in trouble 😱
Matchday 35 of Serie A opens with a hugely delicate relegation battle between Pisa and Lecce.
For Oscar Hiljemark’s Tuscan side, this is the last chance: bottom of the table with 18 points, they come into this on the back of a dreadful run (nine defeats in their last ten), and with a loss, relegation to Serie B would become mathematically certain after just one season in the top flight.
Lecce, coached by Eusebio Di Francesco, on the other hand, still have their fate in their own hands: they are fourth from bottom, just one point above the relegation zone, and are chasing a crucial win to pull further clear of Cremonese.
