Looking to extend on their sensational Serie A flurry, AC Milan will travel to Tuscany on Friday night when they meet Pisa.
Pisa
Starting with the hosts, while Pisa might have only made their Serie A return this season, the Nerazzurri have an almighty battle on their hands in the race to maintain their top-flight safety. Eventually forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate against Verona last weekend, Oscar Hiljemark’s side are sat six points adrift of safety and almost universally regarded as the standout relegation candidate in 2026. Signing off August with a 3-1 defeat at home against Sassuolo, the Tuscany-based outfit have recorded just a single Serie A victory so far this season and they will be bracing themselves for another monumental challenge this weekend. It should also be highlighted, gaining a reputation for their extended issues on home soil, Pisa have remarkably collected just one-point from any of their previous six Serie A showdowns in Tuscany.
Pisa Team News
Shown what was a costly late booking against Verona last weekend, Romanian international Marius Marin will miss out through suspension here. Dealing with respective knee injuries, Pisa will be unable to call upon the duo of Isak Vural and Croatian goalkeeper Adrian Semper.
Making a permanent switch from Antwerp during the January transfer window, Rosen Bozhinov will start at the heart of Hiljemark’s defence. Former Juventus superstar Juan Cuadrado could make a first Serie A appearance since returning from November’s international break.
AC Milan
As for the visitors, putting in what was a dominant display last time out as they stormed their way to an empathic 3-0 romp away at Bologna, AC Milan are clearly relishing life under Max Allegri’s guidance. Opening Friday’s trip to Tuscany sat in silver medal position, the Rossoneri find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and they will be confident of making another statement here. Including an eye-catching 3-1 victory against European chasers Como on January 15th, the former Juventus boss has seen his high-flying squad register 10 points from their previous four Serie A appearances. In fact, the Italian giants have remarkably suffered just a single defeat from any of their 23 top-flight showdowns so far this season and they are cruising their way to a lucrative Champions League return.

While attacking talisman Christian Pulisic might have missed out away at Bologna last week with a reported hip issue, Milan are hopeful that the former Chelsea ace will be able to play some part on Friday night. However, still dealing with a long-term ankle issue, Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez remains on the sidelines and will not travel to Tuscany.
Only making a cameo second-half appearance last week, England international Fikayo Tomori might be forced to settle for a spot on the bench. Registering a five Serie A strike of the season against Bologna, ex-Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku will spearhead AC’s charge in the final third.
