Torino vs Pisa Prediction & Betting Tips (25 September)

Torino welcome Pisa to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on September 25th for a Coppa Italia clash that promises more grit than glamour. The hosts, led by coach Marco Baroni, have shown flashes of resilience in recent outings, notably a 1-0 win over Roma and a goalless draw against Fiorentina. Despite a humbling 5-0 loss to Inter earlier in the season, Torino’s defensive shape has tightened, conceding just once in their last two matches. Nikola Vlašić remains their most potent threat, while Cyril Ngonge has emerged as a creative spark, registering the team’s only assist so far this campaign.

Pisa, on the other hand, arrive in Turin nursing a bruised ego and a string of underwhelming results. Alberto Gilardino’s side has failed to win any of their last five matches, with losses to Udinese and Roma underscoring their struggles in front of goal. The Nerazzurri have managed just five goals in their last six outings, with Lorran and MBala Nzola offering rare moments of inspiration. Their defensive frailties have been exposed repeatedly, conceding seven goals in the same stretch, and they’ve yet to keep a clean sheet in four consecutive fixtures.

Historically, this fixture has favored Torino, with their last meeting in the Coppa Italia back in 2016 ending in a 4-0 rout. While Pisa have improved tactically under Gilardino, their lack of cutting edge and vulnerability on the road make them underdogs in this encounter. Torino’s home form and superior squad depth suggest they’ll control the tempo, especially in midfield where Ivan Ilić and Samuele Ricci have quietly dictated play. Expect Baroni’s men to press early and capitalize on set pieces, an area where Pisa have looked particularly shaky.

With both teams trending toward low-scoring affairs—Torino averaging just 0.3 goals per game recently and Pisa not faring much better—the prediction of a 2-1 scoreline feels grounded. Torino’s ability to grind out results at home, coupled with Pisa’s tendency to concede late, points to a narrow but deserved win for the Granata. Look for Vlašić to find the net, perhaps with a second-half strike sealing the deal after a nervy equalizer from Pisa. It won’t be a goal fest, but it will be a match defined by moments—and Torino should have just enough of them.
