Pistoiese-Pisa, the probable lineups of the'friendly match

Just days after their Coppa Italia debut with Cesena, Pisa take on Pistoiese in the last friendly of the preseason. Kickoff at 7 p.m. at the Melani Stadium in Pistoia. The Nerazzurri are coming off a draw with Augsburg, while the hosts suffered a heavy knockout with Modena in the last test.

Andreucci could launch newcomer Russo in attack. In midfield, there is a ballot between Alluci and Rossi alongside Maldonado and Biagi, while in defense Venturini is a candidate for a starting 1′ jersey.

Gilardino must still do without the injured Vural, while newcomers Cuadrado and Nzola will not be risked ahead of the Italian Cup fixture. In attack, there is room for Meister, with Moreo and Tramoni in support in the three-quarter.
