Parma vs. Cremonese: Prediction, Team Updates, and Lineups Preview
Parma host Cremonese at Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday in Serie A’s 30th round. Cremonese arrive in the relegation zone, six places below their hosts.
Managerial change
Marco Giampaolo will lead Cremonese for the first time in his second spell. He last managed the club in Serie C in 2015, eleven years ago. Davide Nicola departed after a run of poor results.
Cremonese form and stakes
Cremonese have lost four of their last five matches and drawn the other. They scored two and conceded eleven during that sequence, leaving their goal difference at minus nine. A win, coupled with a Lecce defeat at Roma, could lift them out of the bottom three thanks to a superior goal difference.
Parma form and home record
Parma sit 12th in the table and lost 4-1 to Torino last time out. That defeat ended a five-match unbeaten run which included three league wins. Before Turin, Parma had kept three consecutive clean sheets.
Their home form has been inconsistent this season. Parma have scored eleven and conceded nineteen at the Tardini. They have taken 14 points from 14 home games and 20 points away from Emilia-Romagna.
Injury and suspension updates
Parma will be without Enrico Delprato due to suspension. Adrian Bernabe is doubtful with a muscle problem, while Matija Frigan, Pontus Almqvist and Benjamin Cremaschi remain sidelined. Mateo Pellegrino leads Parma’s scoring with eight goals and will be relied upon to find the net.
Cremonese will miss Warren Bondo through suspension. Jamie Vardy is a thigh doubt and Federico Baschirotto has a muscle issue, with Vardy expected to miss the trip. Federico Bonazzoli should shoulder the attacking burden after scoring at Lecce last week.
