On Sunday, November 2, the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino hosts a crucial match in the lower half of the Serie A table, as Marco Baroni’s Torino take on Alberto Gilardino’s Pisa. The Granata, currently 13th with 12 points, are enjoying a solid run of form — eight points from their last four matches — and are aiming for a fifth consecutive result to climb closer to the European spots. Pisa, on the other hand, are still chasing their first league win of the season. Sitting third from bottom with five points, the Tuscans have shown encouraging signs recently, earning three straight draws against strong opposition such as Milan and Lazio. Both sides come into this match with clear motivations: Torino want to continue their positive streak and move further away from the relegation zone, while Pisa are desperate to finally break their winless run and kickstart their season. Expect a tense and tactical encounter at the Olimpico.

Torino's recent form and key stats

Torino extended their unbeaten run to four games after drawing 0-0 away to Bologna in midweek — a result that followed two home wins (1-0 vs Napoli, 2-1 vs Genoa). After a difficult start, the Granata have rediscovered their defensive solidity, keeping two clean sheets in their last three league outings.

In attack, Baroni’s men are also improving, averaging 1.5 goals per game across their last four matches. Torino currently sit mid-table with 12 points (3 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses), scoring 8 goals and conceding 14. Including the Coppa Italia tie against Pisa on September 25, they have now won three straight home games in all competitions.

For this match, Baroni will again be without injured goalkeeper Israel, though his replacement Paleari has impressed in recent appearances. Up front, the Adams–Simeone partnership should be confirmed, with both strikers having scored crucial goals against Roma and Napoli in recent weeks.

Pisa's recent form and key stats

Pisa earned another valuable point in midweek with a 0-0 draw against Lazio — their third consecutive stalemate after drawing 0-0 with Verona and 2-2 with Milan. Despite their improved performances, particularly against Milan and Lazio, Gilardino’s side continues to struggle in front of goal.

The goal drought is a major concern: Pisa have failed to score in five of their last six matches in all competitions, finding the net only in the draw with Milan thanks to goals from Cuadrado and Nzola. Defensively, though, the Nerazzurri have improved, keeping two clean sheets in their last three games.

After nine Serie A rounds, Pisa sit just above the relegation zone with five points (5 draws, 4 defeats), having scored 5 goals and conceded 12. Away from home, they come off the 2-2 draw at Milan but lost their previous three trips to Napoli, Torino (in the Coppa Italia), and Bologna.

Torino vs Pisa prediction by BetMines

BetMines heavily favors the home side in this fixture. Torino are expected to claim another narrow win to extend their unbeaten run and edge closer to the European places, while Pisa’s offensive woes continue to hold them back.

The Granata benefit from home advantage — having lost only once at the Olimpico so far — and from the psychological edge of having already beaten Pisa 1-0 in the Coppa Italia earlier this season, courtesy of a Casadei goal after just nine minutes.

BetMines anticipates a tight, low-scoring affair. Torino have won most of their games by a single goal (twice 1-0), and Pisa have struggled to score consistently.

Recommended bets: Torino to win (1X2: 1) and Under 2.5 total goals (expecting fewer than three goals in total).
