2026-2027 Coppa Italia: Fiorentina vs. Pisa, Probable Lineups

Fiorentina vs. Pisa is a match in the Round of 32 of the Coppa Italia, scheduled for tonight at 9 p.m. The two teams are approaching the match in very different moods: the Viola are riding a wave of enthusiasm following their impressive victory over Venezia (with a hat trick by Mastantuono), which marked the perfect start to Vanoli’s new tenure as the Gigliati’s head coach; in contrast, the Nerazzurri are still licking their wounds from last Friday’s heavy home defeat against Virtus Entella in Serie B.

Pellegrino is expected to return to the starting lineup as the Viola’s center forward, with Mastantuono and Gnonto, and Pedro Goncalves and Njie vying for the spots on either side of him. In midfield, Oulai will partner with Fagioli and Brescianini, while the fullbacks will be Joao Mario and Valdepenas.

Pisa will feature Pittarello as center forward, supported by Moreo and Rao. The three midfielders are Loyola, Esteves, and Piccinini.

Fiorentina vs. Pisa: Probable Lineups
FIORENTINA (4-3-3): Christensen; Joao Mario, Pongracic, Ranieri, Valdepenas; Oulai, Fagioli, Brescianini; Mastantuono, Pellegrino, Njie

Vanoli had this to say at the start of his second stint as the Viola’s coach: “You know how attached I am to this city, to these fans, to this environment. I experienced great joy as a player; we know what we accomplished last year by doing something extraordinary. But in soccer, you have to look ahead. As I’ve told everyone, we have a blank page to fill—let’s forget the past. We’ve been lucky to get off on the right foot; now we need to fill that page with great things.”
