Juve Stabia vs Pisa - Serie B

Few would have predicted the narrative arc that brings Juve Stabia and Pisa together at the home ground on September 6, 2026, and the underdog storyline only adds to the Serie B occasion. O'Neill made five changes for Celtic's midweek win at St Johnstone as he rested some key players ahead of Sunday's clash.

The standings paint a clear picture: Juve Stabia in 18th, Pisa in 9th, and both keen to climb. Consistency has eluded Juve Stabia in recent weeks, with DLWL in their last five and a win rate of 25% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. The visitors have been picking up results steadily, L over their last five with a campaign win rate of 50%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Juve Stabia average 0.75 per game to Pisa's 1.5, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. He was sacked by Fiorentina after Che Adams' late goal for Torino left them bottom of the Serie A table with three defeats out of three.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. Juve Stabia favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Pisa are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Everton are aware of interest from Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, but there has been no formal approach or contact with them, and they have no appetite to sell the 26-year-old, who has three years on his deal.

The fixture boasts genuine star quality. With C. Shpendi topping the Serie B scoring charts at 5 goals, the stage is set for the kind of individual brilliance that can swing a contest. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. The numbers tilt towards Pisa, and a 1-2 away win looks the more probable outcome. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose.
