Parma vs Cagliari prediction 27.02.2026 | Serie A

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 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.
