Match report
Virtus Entella rout ten-man Pisa 4-1 in Serie B
Pisa slipped to a 4-1 home defeat by Virtus Entella in matchday four of Serie B, undone by a rapid first-half collapse from which they never recovered. Bernat Guiu opened the scoring inside two minutes, finishing off a Andrea Franzoni assist, and the visitors never surrendered that early grip.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Luigi Cuppone doubled the lead in the 32nd minute with Guiu turning provider, and Pisa's afternoon worsened further three minutes later when Mehdi Léris was sent off. Franzoni added a third of his own right before the interval, meaning Entella went in at half-time already 3-0 up despite playing away from home.
Omar Correia pulled one back for Pisa in the 73rd minute, converting an Andrea Primasso assist to give the hosts brief hope while still a man short. Any comeback was snuffed out nine minutes later when M. Tirelli, set up by Luca Parodi, restored Entella's three-goal cushion and confirmed a comfortable win for the away side.
Bernat Guiu scored the opening goal inside two minutes and then teed up Cuppone for the second, earning the highest rating on the pitch. Franzoni also contributed a goal and an assist as Entella's front line tore through Pisa's rearguard.
Pisa's dismissal of Léris in the 35th minute proved decisive, leaving them to play the majority of the match a man down while conceding four goals.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Pisa 63%, the draw 31%, Virtus Entella 6%. It finished Pisa 1–4 Virtus Entella.
Pisa's rating gap, but the draw is in play — Pisa are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Pisa a clear lead. The draw at 31% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Pisa at 63%?
Pisa sit 200 points higher on our strength rating — 1511 to 1311. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.1% of 5,990 such games. Pisa sit -0.72 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 39.0% of 2,433 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. The 300 most similar past games finished 56–27–17.
Why only 63%?
Serie B home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (32.2% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (26.1% vs 30.2%). Serie B homes won 41.7% of 4,042 games vs 44.9% across all 100,057 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Pisa's column. Across 11,040 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Virtus Entella win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,793. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.3 points. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 6 between them: Pisa 1 win, 2 draws, Virtus Entella 3 wins. Most recently Pisa 3–2 Virtus Entella, 5 years ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 28.1% of 5625 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
