Pisa vs Juventus

This football contest in Serie A brings together two sides moving in opposite directions. Pisa arrive under real pressure, sitting 19th with 11 points. Their struggle for consistency has defined the campaign so far.

Recent form offers little relief, with just one win in their last 16 Serie A matches. Confidence remains fragile.

At home, Pisa have kept games tight—under 2.5 goals in each of their last eight league fixtures. Yet their attacking threat remains a major concern.

They average 0.75 goals per game in Serie A, so goals have been hard to come by. Margins for error are extremely small when facing Juventus.

So far, Pisa have scored only 12 goals this season, making them the second-worst attacking side behind fellow newly promoted Parma.

While ending a five-game winless run remains a key objective on Saturday, overall survival hopes hinge on turning solid defensive displays into points.

Keeping Juventus quiet early on will be crucial. Conceding first could quickly expose Pisa's attacking limitations.

A 3-5-2 formation with Henrik Meister and Mattéo Tramoni in attack is expected against the Old Lady.

Juventus, heading to Tuscany, remain firmly in the European picture in football terms.

The Bianconeri sit 5th with 29 points, and while their away form has shown vulnerability—losing 50% of their last six away Serie A fixtures—the broader picture is far more reassuring.

Juventus have been beaten in just 7 of their last 54 league matches, underlining their ability to grind out results even when performances aren't at their best.

That resilience is a key thread running through their season.

Interestingly, Juventus’ away matches have not been high-scoring affairs, averaging 0.88 goals per away game in Serie A.

Spalletti’s side has often relied on defensive organization and control rather than attacking fireworks.

That trend could align neatly with Pisa’s low-scoring home profile, pointing towards a tactical battle rather than an open contest.

Ultimately, this fixture pits Pisa’s need for points against Juventus’ need for consistency.

While the hosts may once again keep things close, Juventus’ experience, structure, and long-term league resilience give them a clear edge.

A 3-4-2-1 with Lois Openda in attack is expected against the newly promoted side.

Teun Koopmeiners rejoins the squad, having been suspended for the 2-1 win over Roma last time out.

That return adds further balance to Juventus as they head into the clash.
