Pisa vs Sassuolo Prediction 31 January 2026
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Pisa and Sassuolo in the 23rd round of Serie A? Both teams ascended to the top division last summer, but they now find themselves at opposite ends of the standings: the "Nerazzurri" are languishing in the relegation zone, while the "Neroverdi" sit comfortably mid-table. However, both Pisa and Sassuolo have recently been struggling, consistently dropping points. A win at the "Arena Garibaldi" is crucial for both sides, not just for their league positions, but also to regain confidence in their abilities.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Pisa and Sassuolo in recent years includes just three matches: each team has secured one victory, and there has been one draw. In the first leg of the current season, the teams delivered an exciting and eventful match that ended in a 2-2 draw, with the "Neroverdi" managing to avoid defeat thanks to a goal in the 90+5th minute.
Head-to-head statistics Pisa - Sassuolo
Pisa Team Overview
🔵 11 - that's the number of matches Pisa have gone without a win. Furthermore, the team have secured just one victory in the current Serie A campaign. The "Nerazzurri" sit 19th in the standings with only 14 points, trailing the safe 17th spot by four points.
⚫ Last weekend, Pisa suffered a humiliating defeat. They fell on the road to Inter (2-6), who top the league table. Surprisingly, the match started energetically: by the 23rd minute, the visitors were leading 2-0. Considering Pisa's ability to play with a lead, it seemed they might at least hold on for a draw under such circumstances. However, the team completely collapsed: before halftime, the hosts turned the game around (2-3), and by the end of the second half, Pisa ran out of steam entirely - conceding three goals after the 80th minute was a logical conclusion.

Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 Sassuolo cannot boast about their recent form either. Over their last eight matches, the team has managed just one victory, which came last weekend at home against Cremonese (1-0). The "Neroverdi" have slipped to 11th place in the standings, despite holding a solid position in the upper half of the table just a month ago.
⚫ Specifically looking at the match against Cremonese, the "Neroverdi" did not deliver their best performance. Sassuolo scored an early goal in the third minute, but struggled to create any truly dangerous chances for the rest of the game. However, they were solid defensively, which was enough to maintain their narrow lead and secure all three points.

Latest news
Pisa
📣 Pisa's head coach Alberto Gilardino endured a tough night following their 6-2 thrashing by Inter and took full responsibility for the outcome: "It was a bitter evening, the scoreline was too harsh-perhaps even excessive compared to what we showed in the first half. The penalty changed the course of the game. At 3-2, we needed to stay balanced until the final whistle, but we made too many technical errors. I take responsibility for the substitutions and apologize to the five thousand of our fans who were with us. We must not forget the journey we've already undertaken."
🚫 The hosts are facing serious squad issues. Adrian Semper and Isak Vural remain sidelined due to knee injuries, while Raul Albiol is recovering from a muscle strain. Juan Cuadrado is also unavailable due to a hamstring injury. Daniel Denun, Mateus Luzuardi, and Calvin Stengs are doubtful, dealing with either physical or muscular problems.
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 Sassuolo's head coach Fabio Grosso expressed his satisfaction with both the result and the quality of his team's play in their match against Cremonese (1-0): "This was a game where we aimed to return to winning ways, and we achieved that through a strong performance. In the first half, we started confidently, took the lead, and set the stage for a second goal. At times, we allowed our opponents more space, but I'm pleased with both the result and the team's attitude: it was important for us to 'unlock' ourselves, and we managed to do that."
🚫 The visitors face a slightly calmer situation, but they do have some setbacks. Edoardo Pieragnolo and Daniel Boloca are dealing with muscle injuries, while Fali Candé is not in top physical condition, leaving their participation in doubt.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Recently, the "Neroverdi" have been struggling in attack - Sassuolo have scored less than 1.5 goals in their last seven Serie A matches, failing to find the net in four of those games. Given this form and the fact that they are playing away, expecting more than one goal against Pisa seems quite challenging.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Sassuolo rarely earn a significant number of set-pieces. On average, the team manages only 3.5 corners per match, one of the lowest figures in Serie A. Their numbers are particularly poor on the road, with no more than four corners in 10 of their last 11 away league games. Considering this consistent trend, it's reasonable to expect Sassuolo to have under 4.5 corners.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Sassuolo are slight favorites in the upcoming clash. The reasoning is understandable-the "Neroverdi" are sitting comfortably mid-table. However, the team is currently in poor form, displaying subpar football lately with little success on the field. On the other hand, Pisa desperately need points and will undoubtedly fight until the end on their home turf. Therefore, we're backing Pisa not to lose. We anticipate a scoreline of 1-1 on the board.
