Torino vs Pisa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-11-01 14:00.
[p]Torino and Pisa extended their respective unbeaten streaks in midweek and face off with the visitors still searching for their first win back in the top flight. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Torino boss Marco Baroni praised his players for holding Europa League participants Bologna to a 0-0 draw on the road on Wednesday evening, with his side now unbeaten in four Serie A matches (W2, D2). Whilst they’re still a little way off matching two unbeaten runs of six and seven games they posted last season, Torino should be confident of getting closer and perhaps even jumping into the top half of the table here. They’ve won each of their last two Serie A home games, including against reigning champions Napoli (1-0) in October, affording them a shot at winning three successive home games in the competition for the first time since December 2023. [/p]
[p]Pisa’s 0-0 draw against Lazio on Thursday was creditable, and incredibly it was enough to lift the winless side (D5, L4) out of the drop zone coming into this round. The newly promoted club are on their longest winless run across all competitions (D5, L5) since they were relegated from Serie B in 2016/17, including being dumped out of the Coppa Italia by Torino. That perhaps ought not to bother them too much here, as picking up points on the road against big-name clubs AC Milan (2-2) and Atalanta (1-1) at least proves they can be competitive on their travels.[/p]
