Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Pisa is 6.66, compared to 6.84 for Cesena. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Pisa's highest-rated starter is A. Šemper (6.96), while Cesena's best-rated player is G. Calò (7.30).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Pisa have contributed 10 goals and 1 assists this season, led by S. Moreo (6G). Cesena's starters account for 12 goals and 7 assists, spearheaded by C. Shpendi (10G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Pisa deploy 3 defenders rated 6.63 on average, against Cesena's 3-man backline averaging 6.85. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Pisa field 4 midfielders averaging 6.69, versus Cesena's 4 rated 6.96. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Pisa start 3 forward(s) averaging 6.49, compared to 3 for Cesena averaging 6.48. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 72% for Pisa and 79% for Cesena. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Pisa's starters have collected 28 yellow cards this season, compared to 15 for Cesena. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Pisa's starting XI is 27.2 (youngest: A. Lind (23), oldest: A. Caracciolo (35)), while Cesena average 26.3 (youngest: C. Shpendi (22), oldest: S. Bastoni (29)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Pisa's starters average 25 league appearances each, versus 23 for Cesena. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
