Torino ready to take off against Pisa

Torino host Pisa in a bid to confirm their good form, the Tuscan side are aiming for their first win

Torino and Pisa face off at the Olimpico Grande Torino on Serie A Enilive matchday ten. The Granata are in good form, following their draw against Bologna and wins over Napoli and Genoa. Now, Baroni’s side need three points to try and make a step up. Pisa are also in need of a win. Compared to the start of the season, their performances have improved and they will now aim to go four games unbeaten following their draws against Verona, AC Milan and Lazio.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 11 official meetings between the sides in Turin: 8 Torino wins (most recent 1–0 in the Coppa Italia last September), 2 draws (most recent 0–0 in Serie A 1988/89), and 1 Pisa victory (2–0 in Serie A 1982/83). This is their second meeting of the season after the Coppa Italia round of 32, which Torino won 1–0 at home, with Casadei deciding it in the 9th minute.

DID YOU KNOW?

Although there have been 11 games between them in Turin, two are historic: 29 September 1968, Pisa’s first-ever Serie A match (1–0 Torino, Emiliano Mondonico with the winner), and 4 June 1991 (2–1 Torino after extra time in the Mitropa Cup final, won thanks to goals by Martín Vázquez-penalty-and Carillo after Polidori had put the Tuscans ahead). Pisa’s last Serie A victory dates back to 12 May 1991: Pisa–Bari 1–0. Between that season and the current one, the Tuscans are winless in 11 league matches. Pisa have recorded the most 0–0 draws in Serie A 2025/26: three in nine games, level with Parma.
