Venue: Gewiss Stadium

Atalanta kick off their new Serie A 2025-26 season against newly promoted side Pisa at the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday night. Let's take a close look at the Atalanta vs Pisa Preview, how both sides come into this clash.

La Dea marked a new era under their new head coach, Ivan Juric, who is set to take the reins after the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini to Roma. After finishing third in the league last season, they will be hoping to replicate the same form with a couple of excellent additions to the team. Although they didn't have the best of pre-season, having lost two and won once, they know the real test will come now in the upcoming matches.

Pisa, on the other hand, had a remarkable season last term as they made history, finishing second in the second division, automatically securing promotion to Serie A. They also opened their season in a positive way, making it to the second round of the Coppa Italia, defeating Cesena on penalties after the initial score was goalless. However, the real test comes now against one of the best sides in the division.

Key players to watch in Atalanta vs Pisa

Charles De Ketelaere (Atalanta)

The Belgium international had an impressive campaign last term as he registered 13 goals in all competitions while also laying up 12 assists. De Ketelaere is probably one of the most complete forwards in the La Dea rank as he can create chances, score goals, and also play several positions up front. His left foot can be lethal if given the space; he can score some bangers from in and around the box.

Alexander Lind (Pisa)

The Denmark international was the main man for Pisa in the second division last term and was one of the main reasons they secured promotion. He scored eight goals for them in 32 matches, while also providing another three assists. Still 23 years old, this season will be the real test for him as he will come up against the big boys. Till now, the signs show encouraging, fast forward, physically good, he has all the tools to play a key role.
