Parma host Cagliari on Friday in a game that might look ordinary at first glance, yet it carries weight. You glance at the table and see 12th against 13th. Just three points separate the Crusaders and the Islanders. That sounds close. However, recent form suggests the gap in confidence and rhythm may be slightly wider than it appears.

Serie B
Since 2020, Parma and Cagliari have met ten times across Serie A and Serie B. Cagliari hold the edge with five wins, including the last three, though only three clean sheets in that spell. Parma have won once, four ended level. Goals have not been scarce either, averaging 3.1 per game.
Parma team overview
After beating Bologna and Verona, few expected Parma to walk into San Siro and leave with a 1-0 win over Milan. Yet the Crusaders did exactly that. Three straight victories, something not achieved since their Serie B run in 2024, have pushed them 15 points clear of danger. That cushion changes the mood around Ennio Tardini.
Carlos Cuesta’s side have also avoided defeat in three of their last five at home. Confidence is visible. There were no fresh injuries against Milan, so continuity seems likely. Mariano Troilo opened his account for the season in that win and should keep his place at the back. Top scorer Mateo Pellegrino continues to lead the line.
Matija Frigan remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury. Zion Suzuki is out with a hand problem, Abdoulaye Ndiaye has a pubic issue, and Pontus Almqvist is nursing a hamstring strain.

Cagliari team overview
Cagliari stopped a two match losing run with a goalless draw against Lazio. Solid, yes, but not entirely convincing. The Islanders have now failed to score in three straight league matches.
That lack of cutting edge will worry Fabio Pisacane, especially away from home where two of the last three have ended in defeat.
Cagliari travel without Yerry Mina after his late red card last weekend, which forces a reshuffle at the back. Riyad Idrissi may come in next to Zé Pedro and Alberto Dossena.
Andrea Belotti is still recovering from a long term cruciate injury. Mattia Felici faces the same setback, while Alessandro Deiola and Gianluca Gaetano remain out.

Prediction
Parma feel different lately. Winning three in a row, and doing it with a disciplined 1-0 at San Siro, tends to shift belief inside a dressing room. The Crusaders now sit comfortably 15 points above the bottom three. Cagliari are stalling a bit, three games without scoring. Add eight straight away matches without a clean sheet and 2-1 at Ennio Tardini seems fair.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Four of the last six meetings between Parma and Cagliari produced over 2.5 goals.
- Cagliari are without a clean sheet in their last eight away games.
- The last two home games of Parma produced eight goals in total.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
