Kick-off is at 21:45
As one of the in-form teams in Serie A currently, Atalanta could make it four wins on the spin when they take on Pisa on away grounds in Matchday 21 this Friday.
Currently sitting in seventh position on the table, Atalanta have won each of their last three league games, adding to their four wins and one defeat in their last five Serie A matches.
Atalanta jotted down a 2-0 victory against Torino during Matchday 20 and took their tally to 31 points for the season so far.
While Atalanta are three points away from the European spots, Pisa are battling to make it out of the relegation zone in 19th place.
Pisa’s stuttering season is summed up with just one win in their first 20 matches, while their recent run of form includes three draws and two defeats in their previous handful of league assignments. With 13 points to their name, Pisa are four points away from safety as a tough second-half to the season awaits.
Previewing Atalanta’s clash against Pisa, Nerazzurri coach Raffaele Palladino outlined his side’s plans for the second-half of the campaign and urged the club to be ‘ambitious’ in the next couple of months.
“We’re up against a side that plays at pace and goes vertical, one that has troubled even the big teams. We know Pisa’s style of play: in a match like this, even the smallest details can make all the difference, so we need to stay switched on throughout,” Palladino said.
"We're in a good patch and we need to ride the momentum: over the next two months, we have to go all out, I’ll be asking the lads to push hard.
“I’ve also told the team that the aim is to better the 28 points from the first half of the season, and with 54 points still up for grabs, we have to be ambitious and chase as many as we can. Credit to the lads for their great work, but nothing’s done yet: the job’s far from over”.
