PISA, Italy (Interstat) — Napoli visits Pisa on Sunday, May 17, 2026, in a Serie A matchup that pits a resurgent visitor against a home side desperate to snap a lengthy losing streak.

Napoli comes off a 3-2 loss at Bologna on May 11, but the defeat snapped a two-game winning run that included a 4-0 demolition of US Cremonese on April 24 and a 0-0 draw at Como on May 2. The visitors have been inconsistent – they lost 2-0 at Lazio on April 18 and drew 1-1 at Parma on April 12 – but have shown firepower throughout the season. Key contributors include forward David Okereke, who scored for Pisa in his last appearance, though he now faces his former team? Actually, Okereke is listed as a player to watch for Pisa, not Napoli. He scored a goal in Pisa’s 0-3 loss at US Cremonese on May 10, one of the few bright spots for a squad that has lost seven of its last 10 matches.

Pisa’s form has been dire. The loss at Cremonese was their third straight, following a 1-0 home defeat to Parma on April 25 and a 2-1 loss at Lecce on May 1. Over the past two months, Pisa has managed only one win – a 3-1 home victory over Cagliari on March 15 – while suffering heavy defeats to Como (5-0), Juventus (4-0) and AS Roma (3-0). The team has scored just three goals in its last eight matches.

The head-to-head history favors Napoli. The two sides met on Sept. 22, 2025, with Napoli winning 3-2 at home. That result extended Napoli’s recent dominance; they have not lost to Pisa in their last four encounters.

Napoli’s overall season has been a mixed bag. After the early May loss to Bologna, they have 10 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses in league play, sitting mid-table. Pisa, meanwhile, is hovering near the relegation zone, with only 6 wins all season.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Napoli is projected to win 4-1, with an 89.30 percent probability of victory via its ELO system.

Sunday’s match at the Stadio Arena Garibaldi kicks off at 3 p.m. local time. With Pisa struggling to find the net and Napoli eager to rebound from a narrow loss, the visitors are expected to control possession and create multiple scoring chances.
