Match preview

Parma host Cagliari at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in this Serie A clash, with both sides looking to make an early statement. The hosts head into this encounter following a mixed run in recent matches, recording one win, three draws, and one defeat across their last five outings, most recently securing a 2-0 home victory against Catania.

Cagliari enter the fixture in resilient form, having gone unbeaten across their previous five matches with two wins and three draws. Notably, the Sardinian outfit showed defensive stability by recording clean sheets in four of those five games, including a 1-0 win over Arezzo and goalless stalemates against Nice and Sampdoria.

Historically, Cagliari have held the upper hand in head-to-head meetings, winning five of the last ten encounters while Parma have secured just one victory alongside four draws. The most recent clash between the two sides in February 2026 ended in a 1-1 draw at Parma's ground.
