Posted Monday, November 24, 2025 by scores24

📢 What to expect from the clash between Sassuolo and Pisa at the Mapei Stadium? The 12th round of Serie A draws to a close with a matchup between two newcomers to the top tier, both arriving in fighting form. Sassuolo are firmly holding onto a top-8 spot, having already upset several higher-ranked opponents. Meanwhile, Pisa are on a five-match unbeaten streak, showing significant improvement after a disappointing start. Given the current form of both teams, the final match of the round promises to be truly intriguing.

Head-to-Head

📊 The head-to-head history between Sassuolo and Pisa over the past 15 years consists of just 2 matches. The statistics are perfectly balanced, with each team claiming one victory. Both encounters took place last season when the clubs competed in Serie B: in the first round, Pisa secured a convincing 3-1 win at home, while in the second round, Sassuolo got their revenge with a narrow 1-0 victory.

Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview

🟢 Among the three teams promoted to Serie A last season, Sassuolo appear the most confident. After 11 rounds, the "Neroverdi" are sitting in eighth place with 16 points, having already secured several impressive victories against higher-ranked opponents.

⚫ In the previous round, Sassuolo stunned the football world by thrashing Atalanta in Bergamo with a 3-0 scoreline. Statistically, the team didn't dominate to warrant such a margin—they held just 33% possession and faced 14 shots while taking only 8 themselves. However, Sassuolo's attack was sharper, earning them the well-deserved three points. The only downside might be the international break in November disrupting their momentum; after such a resounding victory, they could have even taken on a team like Liverpool.

Pisa Team Overview

🔵 Pisa had a rough start in Serie A, spending a long time in the relegation zone, but they've shown significant improvement in recent rounds. After 11 matches, they sit 16th with 9 points and are unbeaten in their last five games. During this stretch, Alberto Gilardino's squad managed to take points from formidable opponents like Milan (2-2) and Lazio (0-0), indicating a growing confidence and resilience within the team.

⚫ In the previous round, Pisa celebrated their first victory since returning to the top flight by defeating fellow Serie A newcomers Cremonese (1-0). The match was hard-fought and evenly matched, but Idrissa Touré's precise strike in the 75th minute proved decisive. Pisa had long deserved three points: they previously conceded a win against Milan in the 90+3rd minute and drew with Torino (2-2) after leading 2-0 by the 29th minute. Now, the team has finally been rewarded for their perseverance.

Latest news

Sassuolo Calcio

📣 Sassuolo's head coach Fabio Grosso, following their emphatic 3-0 victory over Atalanta, praised his players for their dedication: "The guys played brilliantly, showcasing all their qualities... We excelled in duels and battles." The coach emphasized that the team won through discipline and character: "It was a 'dirty' game that we made 'clean' because we were good enough to do so. We sacrificed ourselves and fought until the end—playing like this increases our chances of success."

🚫 Sassuolo still have several players unavailable. Cristian Volpato and Filippo Romagna are recovering from thigh and calf injuries, respectively, and are expected to return in early December. There are also doubts over Edoardo Pieragnolo (illness) and Laurs Skjellerup (muscle injury).

Pisa

📣 Pisa head coach Alberto Gilardino dedicated the 1-0 victory over Cremonese to his players and fans: "This win is a gift for the team and our supporters for their commitment. The victory is fully deserved." The coach praised his squad's character and their drive to improve: "My team knows how to endure, wants to get better, and knows how to listen. In tough times, we could have given up, but we didn't."

🚫 Pisa also faces uncertainty with several players. Ebenezer Akinsanmiro will be sidelined until at least early December due to a shoulder injury. Matheus Luzaurdi, Tomás Esteves, Calvin Stengs, and Juan Cuadrado are all doubtful as they continue their recovery from various health issues.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Just four rounds ago, Pisa were regarded as the weakest attacking team in Serie A, having scored only three goals during that period. However, the "Nerazzurri" have recently sparked a revival up front, improving their stats by netting five goals in their last four matches, failing to score only against Lazio (0-0). Notably, even Milan, who are in the top four, conceded twice to Alberto Gilardino's side on home turf. Sassuolo, meanwhile, are far from being a defensive powerhouse and rarely keep a clean sheet. Therefore, betting on a Pisa goal seems quite reasonable.

🚩 Corner Prediction

When it comes to corner bets, the optimal choice appears to be Pisa's total under 4.5 corners. Firstly, the "Nerazzurri" are among the worst in Serie A in this category, averaging just 3.3 corners per match. Secondly, Pisa have not taken more than four corners in their last nine consecutive games. There is no indication that the upcoming match will be any different.

Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Sassuolo are considered favorites for the upcoming match, and their reasoning is clear: by this point in the season, there are no random teams left at the top of the table. However, Pisa are clearly not just going to hand over points easily—they recently held Milan to a draw (2-2), as well as Lazio (0-0) and Torino (2-2), so they are capable of putting up a fight here as well. Both sides look convincing in front of goal: even when playing on the back foot, they consistently create and convert chances with impressive confidence. Sassuolo, for instance, had no trouble scoring three times away against Atalanta (3-0). Therefore, an optimal bet for the upcoming match seems to be over 2 goals total. We dare to predict that the match will end in a 2-2 draw.
