Inter vs Pisa Prediction 23 January 2026
📢 The 22nd round of Serie A kicks off with a clash between Inter and Pisa, who sit at opposite ends of the table. At first glance, the situation seems clear-cut: the Nerazzurri are in excellent form, boast a significantly stronger squad, and will play at their home ground, the San Siro. However, Inter should be wary of underestimating Pisa - such overconfidence has often led to unexpected surprises.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the head-to-head encounters between Inter and Pisa in the 21st century, there has been only one official match, which took place in the first round of the current season. The "Nerazzurri" faced a tough challenge against the newly promoted side, but their class ultimately prevailed. Inter managed to break through in the final 25 minutes, securing a 2-0 victory and claiming the well-deserved three points.
Head-to-head statistics Inter - Pisa

Inter Milano Team Overview
🔵 Inter have every reason to be satisfied with their recent performances. Over the last six Serie A fixtures, they have secured 16 points, with their only slip-up being a draw against Napoli (2-2). Last weekend, the Nerazzurri narrowly defeated Udinese on the road (1-0), significantly outperforming their opponents in all key statistical areas, particularly in xG (1.81 to 0.23). In the league standings, Inter firmly hold the top spot, maintaining a three-point lead over Milan.
⚫ Yes, a few days ago, the Milan side suffered a home defeat to Arsenal (1-3) in the Champions League, delivering a less-than-stellar performance despite the London club not fielding their strongest lineup. This loss pushed Inter out of the top eight in the standings. However, it's crucial to remember that this pertains to a different competition where results at this stage of the Champions League are largely secondary-the key moments for the Nerazzurri will commence in the knockout rounds.

Pisa Team Overview
🔵 Unlike Inter, Pisa are facing a completely different challenge as they fight for survival. The situation is far from ideal: after 21 rounds, the "Nerazzurri" find themselves in 19th place with just 14 points. However, Pisa have recently started losing less frequently-in their last four matches, they suffered only one defeat and managed three draws, which has helped stabilize their position somewhat.
⚫ Last weekend, Pisa pulled off a real upset by holding Atalanta to a 1-1 draw at home. This result was well-deserved: in several instances, the hosts looked even better than their opponents, and at times it seemed Pisa might even snatch a victory. Notably, Atalanta came into the match in excellent form, riding a three-game winning streak.

Latest news
Inter Milano
📣 Following the 3-1 defeat against Arsenal, Inter's head coach Cristian Chivu acknowledged the superiority of their opponents: "Arsenal were stronger - their speed and technique, intensity, work between the lines, and on second balls were all impressive. We tried to stay in the game: we had a chance to make it 2-1, but that doesn't mean we would have won the match."
🚫 The Milan side approach their next match with several squad limitations. The availability of Raffaele Di Gennaro and Thomas Palacios remains uncertain as both continue their recovery and may not be included in the squad. Denzel Dumfries is sidelined for an extended period and is not expected back until mid-March, while Hakan Çalhanoğlu is anticipated to be ready by mid-February.
Pisa
📣 After the match against Atalanta (1-1), Pisa's head coach Alberto Gilardino praised his team's performance and deemed the result fair: "If we had lost, it would have been an injustice in sports. I asked the team for courage, not just to hold the line, and the guys managed to come back strong. Moreo was outstanding, and for Durosinmi, it was a dream debut, but we need to handle him with care and wisdom."
🚫 The visitors face a more extensive list of absentees affecting several areas. The participation of Daniel Denuna, Mateus Luziardi, Calvin Stengs, and Juan Cuadrado remains uncertain as they have not fully recovered. Raul Albiol is still undergoing treatment and is expected to be ready by early February. Meanwhile, Isak Vural is sidelined until mid-February due to a knee injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Despite Inter leading Serie A with a commanding 44 goals in 21 matches, their scoring rate has noticeably dipped recently. Inter have scored fewer than 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches across all competitions, and they have managed just one goal in each of their last three games. Pisa are likely to adopt a defensive approach, playing on the counter and aiming to keep the game tight, so this bet might prove successful once again.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Pisa rank among the lowest in Serie A for corners won, averaging just 4.0 per match. However, the visitors consistently earn at least 2 corners - Pisa's total over 1.5 corners has hit in 18 of their last 20 matches across all competitions. Even with limited attacking opportunities, there is every reason to believe they can surpass this modest mark in the upcoming clash.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Inter are the clear favorites in the upcoming clash, with a significant gap in quality between the teams. The Milan side have been dispatching opponents with ease lately, maintaining a solid defense by keeping clean sheets in four of their last six Serie A matches. Only Bologna (3-1) and Napoli (2-2), both in the upper part of the table, managed to score against them. Pisa, on the other hand, are struggling offensively, having scored just 16 goals in 21 rounds-a tally only worse than Lecce and Parma. Given this scenario, a bet on Pisa not scoring seems reasonable. We anticipate a 2-0 scoreline on the board.
