This is a vital battle in the cellar of the Serie B, with both Parma and Cosenza going through more angst than glee. This fixture is a typical "six-pointer" with the home side placed 14th and the away team in 16th place.
- Parma have the most matches over the total-line (8) in Serie B
- Cosenza have the the worst goal difference (-11) away in Serie B
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Cosenza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Parma form and stats
Parma have collected 8 points from their Serie B home games so far after 2-2-1.
Parma are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Lecce. Parma were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Parma lost the game against Lecce in the first half with a 0-4 deficit and could never come back from that. Gianluigi Buffon had a busy but productive day in the Lecce match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Simon Sohm (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.01/10. Sohm hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 56 successful passes (of 59 total).

Cosenza form and stats

Cosenza failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie B home match vs Reggina (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Midfielder Marco Carraro was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Carraro hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 40 successful passes (of 48 total).
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Lecce's place.There's been a serious shortage of goals from Cosenza's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. The Cosenza manager M. Zaffaroni has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
