Parma vs Cremonese prediction 21.03.2026 | Serie A

Parma return to the Ennio Tardini on Saturday after a disappointing 4:1 defeat at Torino last weekend. Three goals conceded in the second period ensured a long journey home for the Parma faithful. 

Before last Friday's defeat in Turin, I Crociati had enjoyed a five game unbeaten run in Serie A, with three victories secured in February before back-to-back draws against Cagliari and Fiorentina. 

A poor home record has undermined Parma's solid Serie A campaign. Carlos Cuesta's side won just three of 14 games at Ennio Tardini this season. Despite sitting 12th in the division, only three teams have a poor record in home fixtures. 

A lack of firepower has been the biggest issue I Crociati. As a consequence, six of eight previous home games finished with under 2.5 goals scored.

Head coach Cuesta has several absentees for this fixture. Pontus Almqvist, Matija Frigan, Adrián Bernabé and Benjamin Cremaschi are all ruled out through injury, while Enrico Delprato is suspended.

Cremonese travel to Parma in dismal form after another damaging Serie A defeat last weekend. Davide Nicola’s side slumped to a 4:1 home loss against Fiorentina, with their relegation concerns deepening at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.

I Grigiorossi have now picked up just one point from eight Serie A games played since mid-January. Over a longer period, Nicola's men are winless in their last 15 league fixtures (D4, L11), and now find themselves 18th in the division, three points short of safety.

A lack of attacking quality remains the biggest issue for Cremonese. I Grigiorossi scored just 23 goals in 29 Serie A games this season, while they have failed to hit the target in seven of their ten most recent fixtures.

Head coach Nicola has three players unavailable this weekend. Federico Baschirotto and Jamie Vardy are ruled out due to injury, while Warren Bondo is suspended.
