Torino will look to steady their campaign when they face Pisa in the Coppa Italia second round at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Thursday evening. The Granata have endured a frustrating start to their Serie A season, winning just once in four outings while conceding eight goals, a defensive record that ranks among the worst in the league. A 3-0 defeat to Atalanta last weekend further exposed their inconsistency, leaving Marco Baroni’s men under pressure to deliver a response. Offensively, Torino have also been blunt, scoring only twice across their last five matches in all competitions, and fans will demand more fluency in the final third. They scraped through the first round courtesy of Nikola Vlasic’s solitary strike against Modena, but last year’s early exit to Empoli remains fresh in memory, and avoiding another upset is a priority.

Pisa arrive with troubles of their own after a difficult return to Serie A. Alberto Gilardino’s newly-promoted side have picked up just one point from four matches, leaving them near the bottom of the table. Their most recent outing, a narrow 3-2 defeat to champions Napoli, showed glimpses of spirit but ultimately extended their winless run. In the Coppa Italia, they reached this stage by edging Cesena on penalties after a goalless draw, though that match brought problems as Arturo Calabresi received a red card and will now miss the trip to Turin. Pisa also exited at this stage last year, falling 1-0 to Cesena, so Gilardino will be keen to avoid consecutive second-round eliminations.

Team news further complicates Pisa’s task, with Daniel Denoon a doubt due to illness and injury concerns, while Calvin Stengs could also remain sidelined after missing the Napoli clash. That leaves Pisa short on defensive depth and attacking spark. For Torino, Baroni is likely to stick with Nikola Vlasic, who scored the decisive goal in the previous round, while Giovanni Simeone is expected to lead the line. Kristjan Asllani and Cesare Casadei should anchor midfield, and Valentino Lazaro is set to provide width.

With both sides struggling for consistency in the league, this tie offers a chance to reset. However, Torino’s greater squad depth, home advantage, and Pisa’s defensive vulnerabilities suggest the Granata are better placed to progress.

周四晚上，都灵将在都灵大奥林匹克球场与比萨队进行意大利杯第二轮的比赛。格拉纳塔在他们的意甲联赛中经历了一个令人沮丧的开局，四场比赛只赢了一场，丢了8个球，这是联赛中最差的防守记录之一。上周末0 - 3输给亚特兰大的比赛进一步暴露了他们的不稳定，这让巴罗尼的队员们面临着做出回应的压力。进攻端，都灵也很迟钝，在最近的五场比赛中只进了两球，球迷们希望在最后三分之一的比赛中更加流畅。由于尼古拉·弗拉西奇在对阵摩德纳的比赛中打进一球，他们勉强度过了第一轮，但去年早早出局的恩波利仍然历历在目，避免再次出局是他们的首要任务。

在艰难的重返意甲后，比萨也遇到了麻烦。吉拉迪诺的新升班马在四场比赛中只拿到了一分，接近积分榜的最后一名。他们最近的一场比赛，以3比2的微弱比分输给了冠军那不勒斯，虽然表现出了些许斗志，但最终延续了他们的无胜之旅。在意大利杯上，他们在0比0战平切塞纳后，在点球大战中险胜切塞纳，但那场比赛出现了问题，卡拉布雷西被红牌罚下，将错过前往都灵的比赛。比萨去年也曾以0比1输给切塞纳而退出了这个阶段，所以吉拉迪诺希望避免连续第二轮被淘汰。

球队的消息让比萨的任务变得更加复杂，丹尼尔·德农由于伤病的原因还不能确定能否上场，而卡尔文·斯滕斯也可能在错过对那不勒斯的比赛后继续缺阵。这使得比萨缺乏防守深度和进攻火花。对于都灵来说，巴罗尼可能会继续使用在上一轮打进决定性进球的尼古拉·弗拉西奇，而乔瓦尼·西蒙尼则有望领衔锋线。克里斯蒂安·阿斯拉尼和切萨雷·卡萨迪应该成为中场的主力，而瓦伦蒂诺·拉扎罗将提供边路。

由于双方在联赛中都在努力保持稳定，这场比赛提供了一个重置的机会。然而，都灵更大的阵容深度、主场优势和比萨的防守弱点表明，格兰纳塔更有可能晋级。
