A memorable season for both Atalanta and Pisa is at hand. The former will start the 2025/26 Serie A with a foreign coach for the first time since the 1951/52 campaign. The latter will mark their return to Italy’s top flight after a gruelling 34 years.
Atalanta Team News
Ivan Juric, who is now at the Atalanta helm, will have big shoes to fill, as his predecessor, Gian Piero Gasperini, wrote his name in La Dea’s history with golden letters. Under Gasperini, Atalanta became one of the top Italian clubs in recent years, and most importantly, he managed to bring home a major trophy, namely the 2024 UEFA Europa League title. Juric will be under pressure to maintain this level of success, especially now that his team has lost the services of Mateo Retegui and is in a strained relationship with Ademola Lookman. This duo contributed a total of 40 of Atalanta’s league goals last season, and Juric will be hard-pressed to find worthy replacements.
Pisa Team News
Despite earning a promotion with Pisa, manager Filippo Inzaghi left the team in the summer by mutual consent. This means that Pisa will also line up for the new season with a new manager, namely Alberto Gilardino. His last Serie A stint ended in disaster after being sacked by Genoa in November last year, due to poor results. Unlike Atalanta, Pisa already played their first official game of the season – a narrow 0-1 win over Cesena in the Coppa Italia that required extra time no less. But facing a team with Atalanta’s stature will be an entirely different challenge, one we will see if Pisa is up to.
Head-to-Head-Games
The last game between Atalanta and Pisa dates back to 2014, when La Dea managed to eliminate Pisa from the Coppa Italia with a 2-0 win at home. Before that, the most recent game between the two took place in 2005.

Atalanta vs Pisa Betting Prediction
Despite losing their main attacking threats, my pick for this game is an Atalanta win and over 2.5 goals. I believe that the difference in class between the 2 teams will shine clearly here. Neither side will have the luxury of their former manager at the helm, so it is a new start for both. In this case, it will come down to the individual class of the players, and Atalanta is still a well-oiled machine that has the capacity to produce goals.
