Pisa – Atalanta: opposing momentum in Tuscany 
Hunting a return to Europe, Atalanta heads to Tuscany on Friday night to face a Pisa in deep trouble. On paper it’s one-sided. Serie A loves to bite back.
Pisa: the harsh reality of survival 
Their return to Serie A felt like a party, but the buzz died fast. Pisa started 2026 bottom of the table, already cut adrift from safety. The 2-2 draw with Udinese last weekend stopped the losing run, but didn’t fix anything.
Alberto Gilardino’s men haven’t won in the league since early November. Nine matches without a win. A defence that caves in too often. Heavy home defeats. The recent 3-0 loss to Como, another European hopeful, exposed the squad’s limits.
With 30 goals conceded, Pisa have one of the worst defensive records in the league. Right now, every match is a fight to survive.
Atalanta: confidence and solidity 
By contrast, everything’s gone Atalanta’s way since Raffaele Palladino arrived. In a few weeks the mood flipped. The football’s crisper, results follow, and belief has returned to the dressing room.
The tidy 2-0 win over Torino confirmed La Dea’s rise. Six wins in their last seven across all competitions, and an impressive defensive backbone. Three straight clean sheets in Serie A, just one goal conceded in over 450 minutes. The numbers don’t lie.
This trip to Tuscany looks like a real chance to keep climbing and send a loud message to rivals chasing European spots.

Scuffet ; Calabresi, Caracciolo, Canestrelli, Angori ; Marin, Aebischer ; Leris, Tramoni, Moreo ; Meister

Football Prediction Pisa vs Atalanta
Atalanta to win
Given the current momentum, it’s hard to see another outcome. Pisa are fighting but concede too much and lack answers. Atalanta arrive full of belief, with a solid defence and a clear aim to close in on the European spots.
First, a word about our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something seems “obvious”, it’s not. Yes, that means you can lose. It will happen at some point.
- Best practice is to be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase losses, it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or income source. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or stressing you out, step away. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral quickly (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment on our part

Info that changes
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But line-ups change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
