Our prediction for this Serie B match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Ennio Tardini when Parma and Sampdoria lock horns in a highly-anticipated Serie B game. Parma aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Catanzaro and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Poland forward Adrian Benedyczak, who scored a brace in the last league match, while defender Lautaro Valenti remains in the recovery room.
La Samp, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season and given their anything but good performance in a 2-1 loss to Cittadella, we predict that Parma will put an end to their three-game losing run in meetings with Sampdoria. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, but both Alex Ferrari and Leonardo Benedetti continue to miss out with injuries.
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.
