Parma-Monza is a match valid for the 18th day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 3 p.m.: stats, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
Parma has been unable to find continuity after the fine victory a month ago against Lazio and has moved dangerously close to the red zone again. In the last three days Fabio Pecchia’s Ducali have suffered as many defeats and now have only one point ahead of the third-last. Under indictment there ended mainly the defense, since last Sunday the second most perforated in the league (33 goals in 17 games): against Inter, Verona and Roma the emiliani have suffered the beauty of eleven goals in total, 5 of which only in the challenge at the Olimpico with the Giallorossi of Claudio Ranieri (5-0).
Undoubtedly more solidity is needed in order to achieve a quiet salvation, the seasonal goal of the Gialloblù club. Fundamental, in this regard, not to fail the direct clashes such as the one with Monza last in the standings, match in which Parma will try to increase the number of victories, still too few (since the beginning of the tournament Pecchia’s men have won only three successes). On the biancorossa bench will make his debut Salvatore Bocchetti, who has just taken the place of Alessandro Nesta: the former Lazio and Milan defender was fatal to the defeat, the third in a row, with Juventus (1-2). The ownership, in spite of the decent performance offered against the bianconeri, decided it was time for a change: trust, therefore, in yet another “disciple” of Gian Piero Gasperini, protagonist two seasons ago of Verona’s miraculous salvation together with Zaffaroni. Monza currently lies in last place: there are already 5 points to recover over the fourth-last.
Parma-Monza: the latest lineup news
Pecchia might change something after the drubbing at the Olimpico. Hernani will most likely move to the three-quarter, between Man and Cancellieri. In the midfield, however, it will be Keita’s turn to back up Sohm. News as well in the defense, which will consist of Hainaut, Delprato, Balogh and Valeri.
With which form will Monza take the field? Initially, Bocchetti might continue with the 3-man defense formed by Izzo, Pablo Marì and Carboni. Up front, Maldini is back available after his disqualification: the former AC Milan player will pair with Caprari and support the only forward Mota. No dice for Djuric: his return still slips.

The Prediction
First Serie A clash between Parma and Monza: the last precedents were staged in B in the ’21-’22 season (two draws). Both are eager to interrupt the worrying negative series but as for Monza there is the unknown coach: will Bocchetti be able to imprint the turnaround immediately? The prediction is open and in light of the two “ballerine” defenses we prefer to go for goals: we predict at least one on each side.
The probable formations of Parma-Monza
PARMA (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Hainaut, Delprato, Balogh, Valeri; Keita, Sohm; Man, Hernani, Cancellieri; Bonny.
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Turati; Izzo, Pablo Marí, Carboni; Pereira, Bondo, Bianco, Kyriakopoulos; Maldini, Caprari; Mota.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
