Hyper2Play's own model, built on points per game, goal difference, recent form and home advantage, gives Palermo a 67% chance of winning. A draw is rated at 20% and a Pisa win at 13%, with the model's confidence marked as high.

The pick is Palermo, with 1-2 the most likely score. Their unbeaten league record and four straight wins outweigh Pisa's home advantage in the model, though Pisa have scored freely in recent weeks. This is a model estimate, not a guarantee.
