Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Parma will be looking to retain top position in the Serie B standings when they take on Lecco in the Serie B round 35. The Gli Emiliani are on the right track to secure automatic promotion, but Fabio Pecchia must warn his men against complacency. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
I Blucelesti, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 26 points on their account. As Lecco failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Venezia at the weekend, we are tempted to place our bets on the league leaders this time out. To make things even worse for the visiting team, both Vedran Celjak and Franco Lepore are banned for the visiting team. In the first half of the season Lecco defeated Parma 3-2 at Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
