Parma form and stats

8 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Parma have to build on here at Stadio Ennio Tardini in the Serie B.

Parma drew their last game, 1-1 away at Modena (placed 9th). Midfield player Estévez got a match rating of 7.32 in that game, the max score being 10. Estévez hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and had 45 successful passes (of 54 total).

Before that match, a win away at Cittadella.

This is expected to be a close game, with Parma perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Parma as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Parma has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Trench warfare? Looking at this club's last 13 league games, 11 have had zero, one or two goals.

The Parma fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Parma have conceded only 14 goals.

Cagliari form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cagliari so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 2-9-5 (win-draw-lose). In general it has been a productive period now for Cagliari as they haven't lost any of their last ten games.

Cagliari have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 240 minutes ago. Lapadula was the goal scorer. The Cagliari goalkeeper Boris Radunovic is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 183 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Cagliari delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Frosinone (placed 1st) in their previous game. Goalkeeper Radunović made a total of six saves, making him a hero against Frosinone. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes. Goalkeeper Radunović got the top player rating of the team with 8.2/10. Radunović topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-0 draw at Pisa's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cagliari playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Cagliari wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

A tale of few goals? 9 of this team's last 11 league matches have seen two or less goals.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (15 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Cagliari have won or drawn the last 6 games (3-3-0) facing Parma.
