Pisa finds themselves deep in the relegation zone after 16 Serie A matches, with only 11 points and a 19th-place ranking. Their overall form is poor, with just one victory in their last 10 league games and a six-match winless streak across all competitions. Their performance is imbalanced, having scored only 12 goals, the third fewest in Serie A, while conceding 22. Key players are unavailable: forward M'Bala is suspended, and midfielders like Stens are injured, significantly weakening their squad. Juventus currently sit in fifth place, just one point away from the Champions League spots, and are highly motivated to win. They are on a good run, with three consecutive victories in all competitions and a seven-match unbeaten streak. Their attack and defense are fairly balanced, having scored 21 league goals, with particularly solid defending recently. Despite the absence of key players such as Vlahovic and Gatti due to injury, the team's depth should allow them to cope with the challenges. Under new coach Spalletti, Juventus has regained form, recently defeating Bologna and Roma, demonstrating strong momentum and consistent points collection. In contrast, Pisa has struggled throughout the season and is in a relegation battle, with a home win rate of only 12.5%, and having lost their last two home games. Juventus is striving for Champions League qualification and needs every point; Pisa, struggling, faces a strong opponent, and their morale and fighting spirit are questionable. Although there is no recent head-to-head record, Juventus did win both matches against Pisa in 1991, which may provide a psychological edge. Juventus's away form this season hasn't been particularly outstanding, and their recent wins have often been narrow, by a single goal, with a lack of dominant attacking displays. Moreover, although Pisa is weak, they have drawn many matches this season, showing some resilience. Their 2-2 draw with Cagliari in the last match also proved their reluctance to collapse easily. The injuries to Vlahovic and others might affect Juventus's attacking efficiency. Therefore, while a Juventus away win is the most probable outcome, the match may not be straightforward.
