Pisa vs Juventus Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Towers will take on the Bianconeri on matchday 17 of Serie A.

One of the promoted teams, Pisa have been competitive without getting over the line enough in Serie A so far this season, and find themselves in the relegation zone. Half of the season is yet to be played, and they will have plenty of time to get out of the danger zone. They face a big challenge on matchday 17 as Italian giants Juventus will be playing at the Arena Garibaldi.

In 16 matches so far, Pisa have only won once, drawn eight matches and lost seven matches. With 11 points on the table, they are sitting in 19th place. They have dropped a lot of points this season.

This is a big reason why they are in this position. Quality-wise, their squad is still not at the Serie A level, but they have still been putting in great effort in matches.

On the other hand, former Napoli and Italy national team coach Luciano Spalletti is in charge of Juventus, and things are looking good so far. They are fifth in the table, with 29 points on the board. In 16 games, they won eight, drew five and lost three.

The Bianconeri come into this game on the back of a couple of impressive and hard-fought victories. There is surely scope for improvement in the team, and they will be hopeful of getting another win. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure

Form

Pisa (in all competitions): D-L-L-L-D

Juventus (in all competitions): W-W-W-L-W

Players to Watch

Matteo Tramoni (Pisa)

This is Tramoni’s fourth season at the club. He helped the team secure promotion to Serie A last season, and his statistics were also decent. However, this season things are not going as he would have liked, as the club are in the relegation zone, and his performance hasn’t been up to the mark at all.

So far in 15 matches, he has only scored once and provided one assist. Facing Juventus will be a big task for him, and surely he will hope to deliver results.

Khephren Thuram (Juventus)

His physicality is elite, and his height & strength allow him to win duels. Thuram’s main strength is ball carrying; his long legs give him a huge stride length that helps him quickly glide past players and allows him to cleanly win the ball.

He is not a player who scores a lot of goals and provides a lot of assists. He is someone who keeps the balance in the midfield and can control the tempo of the game. In 20 matches this season, he has scored once and provided two assists.
