Match preview and recent form
On 25 September 2025, the Olimpico di Torino will stage a second‑round Coppa Italia clash between Torino FC vs Pisa SC. Both clubs are battling to stay afloat in Serie A, and a win will not only keep their cup dreams alive but also secure a lucrative tie against Roma in the round of 16.
Torino have struggled to find the net in recent weeks. After a 3‑0 thrashing by Atalanta, their attack has produced just a single goal across the last five league fixtures. Their league record stands at one win, two draws and two defeats, with the lone victory coming from a 1‑0 home win over Roma – the same scoreline they used to beat Modena in the first cup round.
Pisa, meanwhile, sit at the bottom of the table with only one point from four Serie A matches. They have suffered three straight losses, the latest a 3‑2 defeat to league leaders Napoli where they showed resilience but ultimately fell short. In the Coppa Italia, the Nerazzurri could not break through against Cesena in regular time, underscoring an ongoing scoring problem.
Historically, neither side has a strong cup pedigree. Torino were eliminated in the second round in each of the previous two editions, while Pisa’s recent campaigns have mostly ended in the opening stage – three of the last four seasons saw them bow out in the first round.
Betting odds and key factors
Prediction models give Torino a 40.83% chance of winning, translating to odds of 2.00 at Betobet. A draw sits at 27.9% with the best price of 3.78 on Betwinner, and Pisa’s upset odds are pegged at 5.95, reflecting a 31.27% probability of victory.
The betting market heavily favours an under‑2.5‑goals result (53.32% probability) and a "Both Teams To Score – No" outcome (64.29%). These figures line up with the defensive tendencies both sides have displayed this season.
Analysts point to Torino’s superior squad depth and the advantage of playing at home, but warn that their lack of goals could prove decisive. Pisa, despite being outmatched on paper, may adopt a compact, counter‑attacking approach, aiming to keep the score level and force the game into extra time or penalties.
In the Asian Handicap market, value appears around Pisa +0.75 at -116, suggesting bookmakers expect a tightly contested match. The Nerazzurri have shown fighting spirit in Serie A, keeping scorelines close even against top teams, which could translate into a respectable cup performance.
Key variables to watch include Torino’s ability to convert limited chances, the effectiveness of any tactical tweaks from their coach, and Pisa’s defensive organisation. A single breakthrough could settle the tie, but if both defenses hold, the match may head to a penalty shootout – a scenario that would add drama ahead of a potential clash with Roma.
