Sassuolo vs Pisa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-11-23 19:45.
[p]The top two from last season’s Serie B collide at the MAPEI Stadium as Sassuolo host Pisa, with both teams experiencing markedly different starts to the season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Sassuolo have seamlessly settled back into Serie A, having already amassed 16 points from their first 11 league games this season. Of teams promoted to Europe’s big-five leagues ahead of this campaign, only Sunderland have earned more points than the Neroverdi, and confidence will be sky high after an impressive 3-0 win at Atalanta before the international break. That made it four victories from their last seven outings (D1, L2), conceding only five goals across those games. It is not quite such a positive picture at the MAPEI Stadium though, having won two and lost three of their home league games pre-round, and another defeat on Monday would make it three consecutive home defeats in Serie A for the first time since October 2019.[/p]
[p]Pisa ended a streak of four draws and recorded their first win in the top-flight in 34 years after defeating Cremonese 1-0 in matchweek 11, which was the first league victory under Alberto Gilardino. They could now secure consecutive Serie A wins for the first time since December 1990, and if they avoid defeat here, they will go six top-flight games without defeat. That is certainly achievable considering Pisa secured back-to-back 2-2 draws in their previous two away fixtures, including an impressive point away at AC Milan. The Nerazzurri have only managed to achieve this feat twice before, but their lowly pre-round position of 16th means nobody will be resting on their laurels.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first-ever Serie A contest between the sides, and both teams won their corresponding home fixtures last season. Across all six previous H2Hs, the away team on the day has never won![/p]
