Pisa vs Juventus: match preview
Pisa have returned to Italy’s top flight for the first time in many years and are now fighting for survival. After 16 matches, the team have collected 11 points and currently sit 19th in the table. They trail 17th place by three points, meaning their chances of staying up remain very realistic. However, victories are required, and the team’s current form leaves much to be desired. Pisa have gone five matches without a win, recording three defeats and two draws.
Juventus are battling near the top of the table for European qualification and could even mount a title challenge. They have amassed 29 points from 16 league matches and occupy fifth place. They are just one point off the Champions League zone and only four points behind the leaders. Juventus have won three consecutive matches, so nothing is lost yet for Luciano Spalletti’s side. Although all of their direct rivals have a game in hand, which could increase the gap, continued victories would significantly improve the situation.
Probable lineups
- Pisa: Semper; Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Bonfanti; Toure, Vural, Piccinini, Aebischer, Angori; Tramoni, Meister
- Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; Openda
Prediction
Pisa will have home advantage, but they are up against a formidable opponent. They are likely to put up a fight against Juventus, yet I believe the match will ultimately go the way of the visitors.
