Parma vs Cagliari Predictions

• Parma scored only 28 goals in 38 league matches last season
• Parma notched just 16 times in 19 home Serie A matches last term
• Cagliari are unbeaten in their last 12 games against Parma

Cagliari can conquer Crusaders

Cagliari ended last season’s Serie A season by losing only two of their final seven matches and one of those defeats came against the champions Inter.

The Islanders signed off from the campaign with a 2-1 win against Milan at the San Siro and they are a side looking up.

Fabio Pisacane lost midfielder Gianluca Gaetano to Atalanta, but the arrival of Harry Winks, Sebastiano Esposito, Daniel Maldini, Jacopo Fazzini and Giuseppe Aurelio gives hopes of progression and Cagliari may be a little overpriced at Parma.

The Islanders picked up a point following a 1-1 draw at Stadio Ennio Tardini and Pisacane’s men were 2-0 winners over Parma on home turf last term.

The Crusaders won only five of their 18 home Serie A matches last season and a lack of firepower saw them hit the net on only 16 occasions.

Carlos Cuesta’s men scored just 28 goals in 38 Italian top-flight games all told last term and forward Mateo Pellegrino has been poached by Fiorentina.

Goalkeeper Zion Suzuki made a big-money move to Aston Villa and Parma could be a regressive side this season.

Cagliari appear to have a strong chance of taking three points on their opening league assignment of the campaign.
