Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Cosenza welcome Parma to their Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla on day 17 of the 2023/2024 Serie B campaign. Cosenza aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s encounter. Both Giacomo Calo and Mateusz Praszeik are banned for the match, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the Serie B standings. The league leaders showed character in a 3-3 draw with Palermo, with Mihaila and Charpentier scoring late goals to save one point and given Cosenza’s poor form in the Italian second tier, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Calabria.
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.
