Form & Streaks

Parma has won just 3 of their last 10 Serie A home matches (3W,3D,4L in 10), indicating inconsistent form at Stadio Ennio Tardini.

Sassuolo has failed to win any of their last 5 away Serie A matches (2W,3D,5L in 10 overall in last 10 away league games), with their last away victory dating back further than this sample.

In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Parma has only managed 2 wins (2W,3D,5L in 10), highlighting their recent struggles.

Tactical Overview

Parma enter this match reeling from a difficult spell, with their manager Carlos Cuesta reportedly dealing with a significant injury crisis impacting nearly half the first-team squad. This has likely contributed to their poor recent form, including defeats to AS Roma (2-3), Inter (0-2), and Como (0-1). Their recent-form xG created per game is a paltry 0.72, well below the league average of 2.50, and they concede 1.71 xG per game, indicating defensive struggles. Key players like Alessandro Circati and Zion Suzuki will be tested. In contrast, Sassuolo, under Fabio Grosso, has seen a boost with Andrea Pinamonti returning to lead the line alongside Armand Laurienté and Domenico Berardi, forming a potent attacking trio. Their recent-form xG created per game stands at a more respectable 1.28, and they average 1.30 goals scored per game. While Sassuolo's away form in Serie A has been concerning, with 5 losses and 3 draws in their last 10, their home wins over AC Milan and Como show they can perform when motivated. The last H2H ended in a 1-1 draw, but Parma holds a 2-win advantage in their last five meetings.
