Verona could have won a small slice of salvation two weeks ago in Udine, when they won at the Bluenergy Stadium with a goal by Duda (0-1). A fantastic win for the Gialloblù, who were able to react after the double defeat against Juventus and Bologna and now have a 7 point lead over the third from bottom team. Paolo Zanetti’s team can’t yet consider themselves out of danger but compared to a couple of months ago, the objective of staying in the league seems more within reach.
In fact, those at the bottom of the table continue to make slow progress. And among the teams that risk being sucked in is Parma, only +3 above the relegation zone. There has been no sign of the much-needed boost after the return to success against Bologna: since the victory in the derby, the first since the arrival of Cristian Chivu on the bench, the Ducali have barely picked up 2 points (one defeat and two draws). The 1-1 draw on the last day against Monza, now with one foot and a half in Serie B, feels like a wasted opportunity: in Brianza, Parma even risked losing, but the biancorossi were able to catch up with 5 minutes to go thanks to a goal by striker Bonny. The team’s attitude is certainly less unscrupulous than under Pecchia’s management, but clean sheets remain a rarity: in 2025, the Emiliani have kept the door inviolate only twice.
Verona-Parma: the latest news on the line-ups
Zanetti will be without Niasse and Faraoni against Parma: neither have recovered in time and will miss the match against the Ducali. Tengstedt’s situation is different: the center forward can do it but it’s unlikely that he’ll start from the 1st minute. Up front we’ll see the Mosquera-Sarr tandem again, supported by Bernede. Serdar will be in midfield with Duda. Valentini will be back in defense, after being disqualified in Udine.
The list of unavailable players for Parma, on the other hand, is still long. Almqvist will be there to complete the trident formed by Man and Bonny. Hernani is disqualified: in the middle of the field it’s Keita, Bernabé and Sohm.

The prediction
“Bentegodi” is almost bewitched by Parma, who have lost in this stadium on each of their last five visits. It will be difficult for Chivu’s men to break this taboo: Verona, who already beat the Ducali in the first leg (3-2 in Emilia for the Scaligeri), haven’t lost a direct match since December and at the moment seem more certain than the team from Emilia, as the current league table also shows. This time, the total number of goals could be less than three. The number of draws is also curious: in the previous matches between these two teams in Serie A played in the Veneto region, there have never been any draws.
