AS Roma vs Pisa – Match preview and team news AS Roma host Pisa at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night in a matchday 31 encounter of the Serie A. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men will look to bounce back from their disappointing display against the league leaders Inter Milan in their last outing and secure all three points against the struggling visitors. AS Roma vs Pisa – Match preview and team news Date: Friday, 10th April.

Kick-off: 7:45pm BST. Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Roma. AS Roma team news Gian Piero Gasperini faces challenges up top without his key strikers—Paulo Dybala’s still recovering from knee surgery, while Artem Dovbyk (hamstring) and Evan Ferguson (ankle) are also out.

Defensively, it’s tougher too, as Gianluca Mancini’s adductor problem from the Inter game should sideline him for 2-3 weeks, paving the way for Daniele Ghilardi to step in. Bright spots include midfielder Manu Kone and wing-back Wesley edging toward match readiness, possibly making the bench. Donyell Malen carries much of the attack after netting seven Serie A goals since January.

Matias Soule earned a start versus Inter last outing and looks set to hold his spot. Pisa team news Manager Oscar Hiljemark has to deal with some injury concerns while receiving some positive news at the same time. The squad receives a significant boost with the return of forward Rafiu Durosinmi, who is available again after serving a two-match suspension and is expected to reclaim his starting spot from Henrik Meister.
