National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Parma or Pescara that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Parma and Pescara.
Parma form and stats
Parma was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Coppa Italia.When playing at home in the Serie A, Parma have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.
Parma drew their last game, also a home match. Spezia was the opponent, 2-2 the score. A Serie A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Udinese.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Spezia as Juraj Kucka's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.
There will be little rest for Parma after this match as they are travelling to Inter for a Serie A game in only three days.
The Parma fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Parma's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Pescara form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated San Nicolo in order to reach 3rd Round of Coppa Italia. Last season their Coppa Italia adventure ended in the 3rd round.It's not happening yet for Pescara on their Serie B travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Pescara have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Pordenone game. It's looking increasingly bleak for Pescara who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Chievo was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Pescara are looking to quickly end their 238 minutes long goal drought in the Serie B.
Pescara failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs Frosinone that ended with defeat 0-2. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Venezia's place.
1 goal so far away for Pescara, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 7. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Parma two wins, zero draws and Pescara two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
