Parma-Cosenza is a match of the 27th day of Serie B and is played on Tuesday at 8:30 pm: likely formations, predictions, live TV and streaming.
After three wins in a row, Parma, the undisputed leader of this Serie B, slowed down in Como on Saturday, returning with only one point in its pocket from the city of Como. It all happened in the first half hour, with Verdi responding to the flash goal scored in the 3rd minute by the yellow-blue Benedyczak (1-1). Fabio Pecchia, coach of the Ducali, has something to regret for not taking home the entire stake this time as well and increasing the gap with the pursuers, but in the standings, at the end of the day, very little has changed.
In fact, Parma remains firmly in the lead, seven points ahead of second-placed Venezia and a full eight over third-placed Cremonese. Promotion, barring sudden – and frankly improbable – collapses, should be easily achieved by the Emilians this year: the decision to confirm Pecchia on the bench despite having missed the target last season turned out to be the right one. The gialloblù in this midweek round can add another piece by beating Cosenza, but a winner in their last visits to the “Tardini” (a draw and 2 defeats). The Calabrians are aiming for a quiet salvation, but in the drawer there is also the dream of participating for the first time in the playoffs – 2 points away – since returning to the cadetteria. The Calabrians come from the home loss to Sampdoria (1-2), a knockout that ended a positive streak that lasted five days. To Fabio Caserta’s team were fatal the two narrow goals conceded in the first half and the lack of concreteness.
Parma-Cosenza: the latest news on formations
Pecchia could rest someone, including the two wingers Man and Benedyczak, both not at their best after the Como match: Partipilo and Mihaila will play in their place. Absent is Estevez, disqualified.
Major absence in Cosenza’s midfield, forced to remit Zuccon, struggling with the flu. In the midfield, alongside Praszelik, Caló will play. In defense, there is Venturi in place of the disqualified Fontanarosa.
The prediction
Parma is the only team still undefeated in front of its own public (8 wins and 5 draws) and frankly it is hard to imagine a hit at the “Tardini” by Cosenza. However, the Calabrians will not distort themselves in front of the B’s battleship and it could come out an entertaining match, from at least three goals in total.
The probable lineups of Parma-Cosenza
PARMA (4-2-3-1): Chichizola; Delprato, Osorio, Circati, Coulibaly; Sohm, Hernani; Partipilo, Bernabé, Mihaila; Bonny.
COSENZA (4-2-3-1): Micai; Gyamfi, Camporese, Venturi, Frabotta; Voca, Praszelik; Marras, Antonucci, Mazzocchi; Tutino.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 3-1
d Finally, Palermo. Cremonese suddenly forgot how to win and in last Saturday’s direct clash with the Rosanero again missed the appointment with victory, suffering the overtaking of Venezia in second place. Now Giovanni Stroppa’s grigiorossi have 47 points, one less than the lagoon players. The battle for second place, which together with first place allows them to bypass the dangerous playoffs and gain direct promotion to the top flight, remains tight.
Cremonese at least avoided losing ground even to the Sicilians, who were reeled back in after a disastrous first half (2-2), in which they had ended up two goals down and moreover in a numerical inferiority. A proof of character that the Lombardi will have to replicate in Marassi against Sampdoria, hunting for their eighth consecutive useful result (the grigiorossi’s last defeat dates back to December). Last Friday, the Blucerchiati broke a three-day fast of victories: goals by Darboe and De Luca, scored three minutes apart in the first half of the match with Cosenza (1-2), brought a smile to Andrea Pirlo’s face, again under pressure after the draws with Modena and Brescia and the defeat to Pisa. Sampdoria is -4 from the playoffs but must continue to watch its back as well.
Sampdoria-Cremonese: latest lineup news
The list of unavailable players at Sampdoria is always long. Also injured in Cosenza was Kasami, who goes to join Murru, Conti, Borini, Ferrari, Pedrola, Ricci and Vieira. Pirlo must also do without Stojanovic, who is disqualified. In Kasami’s place one of Benedetti and Verre.
Two disqualified players for Stroppa are Castagnetti and Sernicola. The former coach of Crotone and Monza could make someone back, and Coda and Vazquez are not exempt from the turnover either.
The prediction
Sampdoria in Cosenza was cynical but certainly did not enchant at the level of play, suffering from the dribbling of the Calabrians. The “Marulla” success, however, may have ignited that spark that Pirlo’s blucerchiati have so far lacked: against Cremonese – the second-best away performance after Parma – we should see a balanced match, in which both are likely to score.
The probable lineups of Sampdoria-Cremonese
SAMPDORIA (3-5-2): Stankovic; Piccini, Ghilardi, Gonzalez; Depaoli, Benedetti, Yepes, Darboe, Barreca; Alvarez, De Luca.
CREMONESE (3-5-2): Jungdal, Antov, Marrone, Bianchetti; Zanimacchia, Majer, Pickel, Falletti, Quagliata; Johnsen, Tsadjout.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
