Match preview
Parma and Monza head into matchday three of Serie A searching for their first points of the campaign, with both sides sitting in the bottom four after opening the season with back-to-back league defeats.
Parma have struggled in front of goal, failing to score in either of their first two league fixtures against Cagliari and Juventus while conceding three times. However, their historical record against Monza is solid, remaining unbeaten across their four recorded meetings with one win and three draws.
Monza have shown attacking capability through Gustavo Varela, who has scored twice, but their defensive fragility has proved costly with seven goals conceded across their two Serie A fixtures against Inter and Udinese. With captain M. Pessina sidelined through a knee injury, the visitors will look to shore up their back line at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
