Currently, Parma and Cagliari are separated by one point. If the league ended after this match, the winner would escape relegation, while the other team would head straight down to Serie B.

The 15:00 CET kick off at the Unipol Domus could go either way: the hosts recently lost their three game unbeaten streak following their loss to Lazio (gaining seven points), so they will be determined to push themselves further up the table.

Parma are looking to overtake their opponents having gained only one point in their last five and losing their last two games. Their last win was against Monza on the 28th of December (2-1).

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Cagliari are unbeaten in their last six Serie A matches against Parma (W4 D2), only against Sassuolo do they have a longer ongoing unbeaten streak (run of eight).

Cagliari have won four of their last five home matches against Parma in Serie A (D1), as many as in their previous 11 matches against the Gialloblu (D4 L3).

DID YOU KNOW?

Cagliari have lost six of their last 10 home matches in Serie A (W3 D1); from mid-September 2024, only Monza have lost more in the competition (7 home defeats).

Since November 2024, Parma have lost eight of their 13 league games (W3 D2); in that period only Monza (10) have suffered more defeats than the Gialloblu in Serie A.

Parma have conceded the most goals in the second half of games in Serie A this season (27), while Cagliari have conceded the third-most goals in the first half of Serie A games this season (17, level with Venezia), fewer only than Monza (19) and Hellas Verona (31).

PLAYERS

In the last matchday, Lazio became the 19^th opponent against which Roberto Piccoli scored in Serie A (of a total of 19 goals). Parma could become the first team to concede two goals by Piccoli, thus eliminating his record as the player with the most opponents with only one goal scored in the big five European leagues since his first goal in the Italian top flight in 2020-21.

Emanuele Valeri has scored a goal and provided an assist in his last two Serie A games and for only the second time he has been involved in a goal in successive appearances, after February 2023; he has never done so in three successive games before.
