"Watching their Champions League adventure come to an infamous end on February 25th as they fell to a remarkable 7-5 aggregate defeat against Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray, the Old Lady are desperately searching for an essential boost. Despite snatching a thrilling 3-3 stalemate away at historic rivals Roma last weekend, Juventus have failed to win any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes."
"Showing some glaring defensive struggles, Saturday's hosts have shipped at least a pair of goals in all of those seven consecutive showdowns across all fronts. Not making a single appearance since the end of November and heavily linked with a move away from Turin this summer, Serbian international Dusan Vlahovic remains on the sidelines with a groin injury."
"As for the visitors, while Pisa might have made their iconic Serie A return this season, Oscar Hiljemark's side are already planning for life back in Italy's second-tier. Last seen putting in another toothless display as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against Bologna, the Nerazzurri travel to Turin this weekend."
Juventus hosts Pisa on Saturday night in a crucial Champions League chase fixture. The hosts have struggled significantly after their 7-5 aggregate elimination by Galatasaray in February, failing to win any of their previous seven matches across all competitions. Juventus has also shown defensive vulnerabilities, conceding at least two goals in each of those seven consecutive games. Key player Dusan Vlahovic remains sidelined with a groin injury, though Manuel Locatelli returns from suspension. Weston McKennie and Lois Openda are available for selection. Pisa, newly promoted to Serie A, faces relegation back to the second tier after a disappointing campaign, arriving in Turin following a 1-0 home loss to Bologna.
