Napoli takes on Pisa at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in matchday four of Serie A on Monday, 22 September 2025. The match kicks off at 20:45 (SAST).
Coming into this clash, Antonio Conte’s side is still recovering following a 2-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League. The reigning Serie A champions will have to quickly forget about their unsuccessful trip to England and concentrate on their title defence.
Napoli have won three out of three in Serie A and are favourites against the newly-promoted Pisa. A win in this match will take Napoli back to the top of the league table.
Juventus, who have played one game more than Conte’s squad, are top of Serie A with ten points, while Napoli are second with nine points.
Napoli will have to be wary of Pisa, especially after the new boys drew with Atalanta in their season opener. The football community expected Atalanta, who finished third in Serie A last season, to win the match comfortably. Pisa gave them a good fight, resulting in a draw.
