Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Spezia welcome Parma to their Stadio Alberto Picco in a highly-anticipated Serie B game on Sunday evening. The Bianconeri do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team failing to win the last seven league matches, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Francesco Cassata is sidelined through suspension, while fellow midfielder Wisniewski continue to miss out with an ACL injury.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, aim to overtake Venezia in top position in the standings and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Spezia’s dressing room. As for the away side, Gianluca Di Chiara is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven, whereas midfielder Simon Sohm is banned for the match. Defender Lautaro Valenti remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury.
Highlighted Team (Parma):
Founded in 1913, Parma is considered one of the most famous Italian clubs. The Gialloblu play home games in white shirts with a dark blue cross and dark blue shorts. Speaking of their away colours, Parma footballers wear yellow-blue kits on the travels. Parma have yet to win the Serie A trophy, but they did well to lift the UEFA Cup trophy on two occasions (1994/1995, 1998/1999).
To make things even better for Parma fans, the Gialloblu won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1992/1993 season, with the team beating Royal Antwerp in the title game 3-1. A number of top-class footballers played for Parma in the past: Hernan Crespo, Roberto Mancini, Juan Veron, Roberto Mancini, Dino Baggio, Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon.
The Gialloblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Ennio Tardini, which was opened in 1923. The venue can hold up to 27,906 spectators. Bologna are considered Parma’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
