Parma vs Cremonese prediction 01.09.2026 | Coppa Italia

Parma return to the Stadio Ennio Tardini after suffering a 2:0 defeat against Juventus in Turin on Saturday.

Carlos Cuesta’s side frustrated the Bianconeri for more than an hour before Nico González broke the deadlock. Teun Koopmeiners added a second goal in the closing stages. 

The Crociati have lost both of their opening league fixtures without scoring, having previously slipped to a 1:0 home defeat against Cagliari.

Parma did win their first competitive fixture of the season in the Coppa Italia, securing a comfortable 2:0 victory against Catania. Simone Lontani scored twice during the opening 35 minutes to book their place in Tuesday’s contest.

A lack of quality in the final third has ensured a series of low-scoring outcomes for the home side. The Crociati scored only five goals in their last nine matches. All nine games finished with fewer than three goals.

Cuesta is expected to make some changes after Saturday’s demanding contest in Turin.Lontani could return to the attack after his match-winning performance against Catania

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia is the only confirmed absentee for the home side.

Cremonese make the short trip to Parma after a disappointing 3:0 home defeat against Modena on Friday.

Marco Giampaolo’s men conceded twice in the first half before Giuseppe Caso completed a convincing victory for the visitors.

The Grigiorossi have made a miserable start to life in Serie B following last season’s relegation. Cremonese also suffered a 1:0 defeat at Empoli in their opening fixture, leaving them without a point or a goal after two matches.

Like Parma, their only victory of the campaign came against Sampdoria in the first round of the Coppa Italia. David Stückler opened the scoring before Tommaso Berti added a stoppage-time second in a 2:0 success. 

Each of the visitors' last five games finished with under 2.5 goals scored. That outcome also occurred in each of the last three encounters between these sides. 

Giampaolo could alter his attack after Friday’s ineffective performance. Massimo Nasti is among those pushing for a place in the first XI.

The visitors have several injury issues this week. Michele Collocolo, Tommaso Barbieri, David Stückler and Federico Baschirotto are expected to miss Tuesday’s contest through injury.
