Hellas Verona and Pisa drew 0-0 in a match that opened the 24th round of Serie A, with both teams sinking into the relegation zone. The game, held at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi and refereed by Italian Daniele Doveri, was very poor and offered little excitement, aside from a shot hitting the crossbar from each team. This goalless draw did not help either team, as Hellas Verona and Pisa are 20th and 19th respectively, with 15 points each. They could end the new round of Serie A six points away from 17th place and thus the salvation zone, which is currently held by Lecce. According to the Argentine News Agency, this Friday marked the ninth consecutive match without a win for Hellas Verona, while Pisa has now gone 13 games without a victory. Hellas Verona's next match will be on Sunday, February 15, when they visit Udinese. Udinese is the current Italian champion and does not want to fall behind the league leader Inter Milan, who has a nine-point lead.
