Roma hit the road this weekend as they square off with newly-promoted Pisa in Serie A action on Saturday.
For Pisa, the return to Italy’s top flight has been long-awaited after securing second place in Serie B behind Sassuolo last term. But the honeymoon period looks set to be short-lived, with a daunting first home fixture against one of the league’s heavyweights. They did hold their own in their Serie A opener, grinding out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta—though it took an own goal to get them on the board. In the Coppa Italia, they edged past Cesena only after a nerve-racking penalty shootout, further highlighting the growing pains of adapting to top-tier football.
Roma, meanwhile, got their campaign off on the right foot with a narrow 1-0 win over Bologna, and they’ll fancy their chances of replicating that success here.

Pisa team news
The summer transfer window brought fresh hope for Pisa, with high-profile arrivals like Bologna midfielder Michel Aebischer, Fiorentina striker M’Bala Nzola, and seasoned winger Juan Cuadrado, who last turned out for Atalanta.
Up front, last season's leading scorer Matteo Tramoni is expected to partner either Alexander Lind or Nzola, offering the Tuscans some attacking bite.
Roma team news
At the tip of Gasperini's trademark 3-4-2-1 system, the Giallorossi could opt for summer signing Evan Ferguson or last season's talisman Artem Dovbyk to spearhead the attack. The big news is the return of Paulo Dybala, who has shaken off injury concerns and might link up with compatriot Matías Soule just behind the striker.
New recruits Daniele Ghilardi, Wesley, and Neil El Aynaoui are also available to feature, but Roma will have to make do without Leon Bailey, who picked up an untimely injury in his very first training session. Skipper Lorenzo Pellegrini and suspended full-back Zeki Çelik are also missing, trimming Gasperini’s options for the trip.
