Pisa vs Milan: prediction, head-to-head and probable line-ups – 13 February 2026
One of the key fixtures of Serie A’s 25th round will take place this Friday at the Arena Garibaldi – Romeo Anconetani in Pisa, where the local side hosts Milan. For the home team, this is a golden chance to fight for survival, while the visitors are determined not to let Inter pull away in the title race. Let’s take a closer look at the odds and a promising bet for this intriguing encounter.
Match preview
Pisa has entered a new era under Oscar Hiljemark. Following a 1-3 defeat to Sassuolo, the management parted ways with Alberto Gilardino, and the Swedish coach’s debut ended in a goalless draw against Verona. In the second half, the Nerazzurri looked fresher and outran their opponents, but their finishing woes persisted – the team continues to convert far too few of their chances.
The league situation is worrying – second from bottom and six points away from the safety of 17th place. At home, Pisa’s form is frankly poor: just seven points and three goals scored in 12 matches. There’s still some personnel intrigue – Bozhinov’s participation is in doubt, while new signing Iling-Junior could make his debut against the giants.
Milan arrives after a convincing 3-0 win over Bologna and an unexpected break due to the postponement of their match against Como. Nearly ten days without official matches is a double-edged sword: on one hand, the team has had time to rest, but on the other, they may have lost some match sharpness. The Rossoneri sit second in the table, trailing Inter by eight points with a game in hand.
Allegri is gradually stabilizing the attack: Nkunku has scored three times in his last five outings and is growing in confidence. Leão’s return adds pace and attacking variety. However, the key task is not to repeat the slip-ups from the first half of the season, when Milan dropped points against Pisa, Parma (2-2), Genoa (1-1), and even lost to Cremonese (1-2).
Probable line-ups
- Pisa: Šemper, Bozhinov, Canestrelli, Calabresi, Angori, Aebischer, Loyola, Touré, Tramoni, Moreo, Durošinmi.
- Milan: Maignan, Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlović, Atikame, Fofana, Modrić, Rabiot, Bartezaghi, Nkunku, Leão.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Pisa has picked up just 7 points from 12 home games this season.
- Milan defeated Bologna 3-0 in their last match and has scored at least two goals in four of their last five fixtures.
- In the reverse fixture, the Rossoneri dropped points against Pisa, drawing the match – adding extra intrigue ahead of this clash.
Prediction
Pisa, under their new coach, may show more intensity and commitment, but the gap in quality is significant. Milan enters fresher and highly motivated, knowing a stretch of favorable fixtures lies ahead before the derby against Inter. If the Rossoneri avoid complacency, all three points should head back to Milan, though the hosts are certainly capable of getting on the scoresheet.
