Pisa vs Padova Prediction 23 August 2026
📢 Pisa are starting the new season with a clear objective - returning to Serie A as quickly as possible after relegation. That means results and consistent performances will be expected from the very first round. Padova finished mid-table last season and come into the campaign with far more modest ambitions, but sides like that often cause favourites the most trouble.
Head-to-Head

Pisa are back in Serie B after being relegated, and the immediate task is to regroup and push for a swift return to the top flight. Their first competitive match of the new season went well - they beat Empoli on penalties in the Coppa Italia. But if you factor in the end of last season, the overall form looks poor: one win and nine defeats in their last ten matches. Over that run, they have averaged just 0.4 goals scored and 2.3 conceded per game, so the problems are clear at both ends of the pitch.

During that run they averaged 0.9 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game, so the attack was not particularly clinical either, but the overall balance looks more reliable.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Pisa are the clear favourites here, which makes sense given their superior squad quality and ambitions for the season. Padova know the situation and will likely set up cautiously away from home. That fits with their recent results too: no more than two goals have been scored in 7 of their last 8 matches. Our pick is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Expected score: 1-0.
