Despite their midweek defeat, Napoli enters this match with the confidence of a team that has been near-perfect at home for months.
Napoli host Pisa at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday in Serie A, round 4, a match between a top European contender and a newly promoted side struggling to find their feet.
Napoli will look to extend their perfect domestic run, while Pisa, near the bottom of the table, are desperate for points to kickstart their season.
After a stellar start to the season, Napoli were humbled by a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in their Champions League opener.
A red card for Giovanni Di Lorenzo after just 20 minutes left Napoli with 10 men, and City capitalized, with goals from Erling Haaland and Jérémy Doku sealing the win.

Despite this setback, Napoli’s Serie A form remains unblemished, with three wins from three games.
Their 3-1 victory over Fiorentina last weekend extended their perfect domestic record, with a solid defense that has conceded only two goals so far and an attacking unit averaging two goals per game.
Their strong recent home record, six wins in their last seven matches, gives them confidence heading into this match.
Despite their midweek defeat, Napoli enter this match with the confidence of a team that has been near-perfect at home for months.
With a solid defence and an attack brimming with depth, Napoli will be the favourites to continue their winning streak.
Coach Antonio Conte will likely make minimal changes, with players like Di Lorenzo and key signings such as De Bruyne eager to make amends for their Champions League disappointment.
Napoli’s home form has been near flawless, with 9 wins and 3 draws in their last 12 Serie A home games.
Their defensive record is one of the best in the league, conceding only 3 goals across all competitions this season.
André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Stanislav Lobotka will be trusted in midfield, with Rasmus Højlund leading the attack. Scott McTominay will be key in breaking down the Pisa backline with his well-timed runs.
Romelu Lukaku and centre-back Amir Rrahmani are the confirmed doubts, with Alex Meret pushing to start in goal and former Pisa striker Lorenzo Lucca also looking to get some minutes.
In contrast, Pisa have struggled since their promotion.
The newly promoted side have just one point from their first three matches, with two 1-0 losses to Roma and Udinese.
Their only point came from a 1-1 draw against Atalanta in the opening round.
Pisa's attacking issues have been glaring, with the team yet to score a goal from open play; their only goal so far was an own goal by Atalanta.
While their defence has been somewhat resilient, conceding only three goals in their opening three fixtures, coach Alberto Gilardino will need to address his side’s attacking problems.
They face further challenges with the poor form of their main striker, Henrik Meister, who is still searching for his first goal of the season.
Gilardino may experiment with different attacking combinations, such as pairing M’Bala Nzola with Meister, to spark some offensive production.
Pisa face an uphill battle.
Their defence has been solid, but their inability to score goals puts them at a severe disadvantage.
Against a Napoli side that is both defensively sound and offensively potent, the task of breaking down their defence will be extremely difficult.
Gilardino will need to address the attacking deficiencies if his team is to have any chance in this encounter.
Key pointers
Napoli have won all 3 Serie A matches this season, conceding just 1 goal.
Napoli are unbeaten in their last 12 Serie A home games, with 9 wins and 3 draws.
Napoli have one of the league's top defences, having conceded just 3 goals in all competitions this season, with only 1 goal allowed in Serie A.
Pisa have earned just 1 point from their first 3 Serie A games.
Pisa are yet to score from open play, with back-to-back 1-0 defeats highlighting their attacking struggles.
With Pisa still struggling to score and Napoli’s defence looking near-impervious, a comfortable victory for the hosts seems the most likely outcome.
Despite a commendable defensive record, Pisa’s inability to score goals in open play, combined with the strength of Napoli’s defence, makes it difficult to see them troubling the champions.
Napoli will be eager to bounce back from their European disappointment and continue their perfect Serie A run. Pisa, though defensively solid, will likely struggle to contain the hosts' attacking prowess. Their search for a win in Italy’s top division is expected to continue in this match.
Expect Napoli to secure a routine victory, further cementing their position as one of the league's top contenders.
