Our prediction for this Serie B match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Ennio Tardini when Parma and Bari lock horns in the Serie B round 7. The Gli Emiliani are determined to return to the Italian top flight, but they need to keep on improving game if they are to turn their dream into reality. Defender Lautaro Valenti continues to miss out with an ACL injury, but head coach Fabio Pecchia can count on key players for the midweek clash.
Michele Mignani’s troops, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four league matches and, no doubt, they want to remain unbeaten in the 2023/2024 Serie B campaign. Parma, though, have turned their stadium into a real fortress and we predict that the league leaders are going to pick up all three points from the match. As for the visiting team, forward Jeremy Menez remains on the sidelines with a long-term 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.
