Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Stadio Ennio Tardini when Parma and Cagliari lock horns in their Serie A opener. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched ahead of Saturday's encounter, we predict a 1-1 draw. Parma head into the game in confident mood after beating Catania 2-0 in the Coppa Italia, with Italian rising star Simone Lontani pushing for a starting spot after scoring twice. Fellow summer signing David Romero is also in contention, although the Gli Emiliani have been inconsistent recently, winning four of their last 10 matches.
Cagliari, meanwhile, will be looking to build on their 1-0 Coppa Italia victory over Arezzo. The visitors have been in better overall form, collecting 1.90 points per game across their last 10 matches and keeping clean sheets in 50% of those games. Gianluca Gaetano has left for Atalanta, while Sebastiano Esposito has signed a permanent deal with the Sardinian club. The Rossoblu also have the historical edge, winning 12 of the 27 previous meetings.
As the visitors have been more consistent recently, Cagliari or Draw is our main betting tip, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Parma average just 1.90 goals per game in their last 10).
This Serie A match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 19:45.
