Milan vs Pisa Prediction for 25 October 2025 - Football

Posted Thursday, October 23, 2025 by scores24

📢 What can we expect from the clash between Milan and Pisa in the 8th round of Serie A? The league leaders host the bottom-placed team at the iconic San Siro, and the balance of power is more than clear. The Rossoneri are showcasing exemplary play and have no intention of slowing down, while the visitors are still struggling to adapt to the top-flight division. However, it's crucial never to underestimate your opponent.

Head-to-Head

📊 There is no head-to-head history between Milan and Pisa in the 21st century. The teams have not faced each other in any official matches during this period.

Milan Team Overview

🔴 AC Milan are turning heads this season, sitting atop the table after seven rounds—a truly commendable achievement. The team has amassed 16 points, showing remarkable consistency. Perhaps the absence of European competition is allowing them to focus solely on the league. The Rossoneri are particularly impressive defensively, conceding just four goals—only Roma have conceded fewer with three.

⚫ Last weekend, Milan hosted Fiorentina and secured a 2-1 victory. Although the opponents struck first, the home side looked far more dangerous throughout the match (14 shots to 5) and deservedly clinched the win, even if the decisive goal came from the penalty spot. Of course, Rafael Leão deserves a mention—making his first start of this Serie A campaign, he immediately netted a brace, reminding everyone of his crucial role in the team.

Pisa Team Overview

🔵 Three points and bottom of the table after seven rounds is certainly not the outcome Pisa fans had anticipated. Yes, the team has just returned to Serie A and faced a challenging start to the season, but expectations included at least one victory. So far, the "Nerazzurri" have either drawn or lost, mostly playing defensively and struggling in attack—scoring only 3 goals (only Verona have fewer with 2).

⚫ In the last round, Pisa hosted that same Verona at home and delivered what could be considered their most predictable result given both teams' scoring records—a 0-0 draw. Despite having territorial advantage (60% possession compared to 40%), the visitors created the more dangerous chances: 7-15 in shots, 0-3 on target, and 0.92-1.43 in xG. The team urgently needs to improve, or the season might quickly turn into a battle for survival and an early return to Serie B.

Latest news

Milan

📣 AC Milan's head coach Massimiliano Allegri, following their 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, highlighted the team's resilience after conceding a goal: "We responded well to Fiorentina's goal—the team fought until the end for the win." When questioned about their ambitions in the league, Allegri remained composed: "It's just a win. No signals to our rivals—we still have many points to earn."

🚫 Milan's injury list is a tough sight. Defender Pervis Estupiñán and midfielder Ardon Jashari are in recovery and are expected to return to the field in early November. Adrien Rabiot, dealing with a calf injury, will only be back by late November. Christian Pulisic is recovering from a hamstring injury and should also be available by early November. Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, experiencing muscle discomfort, and forward Christopher Nkunku with a finger injury, both remain doubtful.

Pisa

📣 Pisa's head coach Alberto Gilardino, following their goalless draw with Verona, remarked that under the current circumstances, the result could be seen as positive: "I'm pleased with the team's effort – in such a tough league, you need to earn points even in scoreless matches. After a 4-0 result, it was crucial to play a tight game and regain confidence... This draw reflects the kind of season ahead of us – we believe we can stay in the top flight and will fight until the end."

🚫 Pisa have three players in doubt. Mateus Luasardi is dealing with physical discomfort, while Tomas Esteves and Calvin Stengs are undergoing rehabilitation for muscle injuries.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Pisa are currently living up to their status as one of the main relegation candidates. The team plays timidly, often taking a backseat in matches, struggling significantly to create chances, and rarely picking up points. Their attacking woes are particularly concerning: they've scored only 3 goals, one from a penalty and another courtesy of an own goal by the opposition. Milan, on the other hand, impress with their defensive solidity, having conceded just 4 goals—a figure that reflects their stable game structure. Given the disparity in class, betting on Pisa not to score seems the most logical option.

🚩 Corner Prediction

When it comes to corners, Milan and Pisa surprisingly share a common trait—both teams earn a roughly similar number of corners. The "Rossoneri" average 3.9 corners per match, while the "Nerazzurri" average around 3.6. With this ratio, it's unlikely that the hosts will have a significant lead in this category, making a bet on Pisa to win with a +4.5 corner handicap a reasonable choice.

Editorial Prediction

AC Milan are the clear favorites according to the bookmakers, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. There's a significant gap between the teams—Rossoneri outclass their opponents in every aspect, both on and off the pitch, even with a long injury list affecting their squad. Additionally, the hosts have a prime opportunity to maintain their lead in the standings heading into the next round, and they're likely to seize it. Our bet is on Milan to win with a -1.5 handicap. We anticipate a scoreline of 2-0 on the board.
