Juventus are aiming for victory against Pisa to boost their chances of a Champions League place. After a run of poor form, the Bianconeri need to secure three points against their relegation-haunted opponents.
Juventus’ Recent Form and Champions League Exit
Juventus drew 3-3 with Roma in their last match. The game took place just days after Juventus’ Champions League exit to Galatasaray. Jeremie Boga scored his first goal for the club, and Federico Gatti scored a late equaliser.
Juventus have not won in their last four league matches. They had previously won seven of nine. The team must now play catch-up to Como and Roma in the race for Europe.
Pisa’s Struggles and Potential Demotion
Pisa have only won once all season. They are without a victory in 16 league fixtures since early November. The team suffered a 1-0 loss to Bologna, their third consecutive defeat.
Pisa have only scored once in four games since Oscar Hiljemark took charge. They are nine points from safety. Barring a turnaround, they are heading for demotion after one year in Serie A.
Juventus’ Dominant Record Against Pisa
Juventus have a strong record against Pisa. Following a 2-0 win in Pisa at the end of December, Juve remain unbeaten across 15 top-flight games against this week’s visitors, with 11 wins and four draws. Pisa have lost all seven Serie A away games against Juventus, conceding 20 goals.

Victory is the only option for Juventus as they look to climb the Serie A table.
