Parma

LDWLLD

Parma will play in this match following a 2-2 Serie A stalemate versus Lecce.

In that game, Parma managed 62% possession and 24 attempts on goal with 10 on target. For Parma, the goalscorers were Pontus Almqvist (93') and Antoine Hainaut (95'). Lecce had 14 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Patrick Dorgu (32') and Nikola Krstović (59') scored for Lecce.

Parma have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets lately, although they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Parma have seen their goal breached in 6 of them while also scoring in 5 of those matches. We shall soon see if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Coming into this contest, Parma haven't lost in the league to Cagliari in their last 2 games.

Cagliari

DDLLLW

Cagliari head into the encounter following on from a 1-0 Coppa Italia win versus Cremonese in their previous outing.

In that game, Cagliari managed 49% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Cagliari was Gianluca Lapadula (60'). Cremonese had 12 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target.

A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games featuring Cagliari has become apparent of late. A glance at their last six meetings reveals that it has happened 5 times. In these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal aggregate of 8 while Cagliari have scored 2.

Ahead of this clash, Cagliari haven't beaten Parma in away games against them for the last 2 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

A look at their prior head to head meetings going back to 16/12/2020 shows us that Parma have won 1 of these & Cagliari 2, with the tally of drawn results being 3.

A combined sum of 17 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 8 of them for I Crociati and 9 belonging to Casteddu / Rossoblu. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.83.

ℹ️ Team News: Parma

It looks as if I Crociati may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Zion Suzuki, Enrico Del Prato, Botond Balogh, Yordan Osorio, Woyo Coulibaly, Mandela Keita, Adrian Bernabe, Dennis Man, Hernani, Valentin Mihaila and Ange-Yoan Bonny.

📋 Team News: Cagliari

Cagliari manager Davide Nicola has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Leonardo Pavoletti (Foot bruise), Gianluca Lapadula (muscular problems), Mateusz Wieteska (Muscle fatigue) and Jakub Jankto (Ankle sprain) will not be playing here.

There’s a good chance that Casteddu / Rossoblu might begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, giving starts to Simone Scuffet, Gabriele Zappa, Yerry Mina, Sebastiano Luperto, Nadir Zortea, Alessandro Deiola, Razvan Marin, Gianluca Gaetano, Tommaso Augello, Zito Luvumbo and Roberto Piccoli.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Cagliari might have a difficult job to get anything against this Parma lineup who should get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Parma when the full-time whistle blows.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
