Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus revival is gathering serious pace — and now they face a bottom-half Pisa side desperate to escape relegation trouble. On paper, this looks straightforward. But Juve are without five key players, and football loves to humble the overconfident. This is a must-win on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at the Allianz Stadium, Turin.

Juventus are pushing for a top-four Champions League finish, while Pisa are rooted in the relegation zone — winless in their last 13 away Serie A matches.
Match Preview
Spalletti has quietly transformed the Old Lady since replacing Igor Tudor. Under the former Italy boss, Juventus have won 4 of their last 5 matches across all competitions, beating high-flyers Bologna and Roma in back-to-back Serie A games to inject genuine belief into their top-four charge.
Now sitting 5th, just four points behind leaders Inter Milan, Juve can ill afford a slip-up here — but their injury list is alarming. Vlahović, Bremer, Yildiz, Milik, and Holm are all sidelined. Lois Openda is set to lead the attack, with Jonathan David and young talent stepping up in the absence of their stars.
Pisa arrive in miserable form — three consecutive defeats, no away league win in 13 attempts, and an XG record that screams underperformance. Manager Alberto Gilardino has found no answers to their defensive fragility, having conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 Serie A games. Additional absentees Daniel Denoon, Isak Vural, and Simone Scuffet make their task even harder.
The lone silver lining for Pisa? They drew 2-2 in their most recent away match, showing they can nick a goal even when outclassed.

Prediction
Pisa have never beaten Juventus in Serie A history — that psychological weight alone is enormous. Add Spalletti’s tactical discipline, Openda’s pace, and Pisa’s leaky defence, and this points firmly one way. Even with five absentees, the Old Lady should have too much class.
Our Prediction: Juventus 2–0 AC Pisa (Openda to open the scoring)
