[(Pisa SC) Weakness]:
1. Pisa SC defenders Tomas Esteves and Mateus Lusuardi, as well as forward Alexander Lind, will be sidelined due to injuries in this game.

2. AS Roma are now in hot form, receiving 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in 6 warm-up matches. In the first league game of the new season, they secured a 1-0 home win over Bologna FC 1909, getting off to a brisk start and continuing their outstanding performances from the warm-up games.

The club is working with AC Milan to finalize a swap deal involving Artem Dovbyk and Santiago Gimenez. The Ukrainian international made 32 appearances in Serie A last season, contributing 12 goals and 2 assists, making him the team's most reliable scorer.
3. AS Roma kept 3 clean sheets in the last 5 games but conceded 6 goals in the other two games, revealing that heir defensive stability needs to improve.

5. AS Roma scored 19 goals in 19 league games on the road last season, averaging only 1 goal per game, which demonstrates weak offense.
[Tips]:
Pisa SC are newly promoted this season.
They drew with giants Atalanta BC in the first league game on the road in the new season, showcasing outstanding overall performances.
The team boast reliable home strength, but their recent performances on both ends have been poor.
AS Roma start the new season with a home win in the first game, continuing their outstanding performances from the warm-up matches.
However, their defensive end is at risk, and their away strength is limited, lacking attack on the road.
Thus, AS Roma cannot be overestimated in this away match, and Pisa SC are expected to avoid a defeat at home.
[Recommended]:
Pisa SC (+0.5/1)
