Prediction: 1-1
Parma
Cagliari will be hosting Parma at the Sardegna Arena on Saturday afternoon. After five games without a win the home side will want to get their first victory of the new year. Parma are three places above Cagliari in the table, in 12th place but with eight points more. Their form is also sliding after three games without a win. Cagliari has won only once at home in the last five games and only three times in the last ten home matches. The last two defeats at home were to Atalanta, in the Coppa Italia and in the league. Parma are unbeaten away from home in the last three matches, winning in Fiorentina and Udine and drawing 3:3 against Juventus in Torino. Over the last ten matches away, they have won five. Parma won 2:0 back in September, in their first match of the season. Cagliari players have struggled to score this year which might prove a problem. We predict a draw.
