Cagliari will host Parma at the Unipol Domus on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. The hosts enjoyed an encouraging start to the year but have once again hit a rough patch and sit 17th in the league table with 21 points from 23 matches.
They hosted Lazio in the league last weekend and were beaten 2-1, heading into the break a goal down and then coming back to draw level via a Roberto Piccoli header before their opponents reclaimed their lead later in the second half.
Parma have also struggled to perform in Serie A this season and find themselves battling for survival at this stage of the campaign. They were beaten 3-1 by Lecce in their last match, taking the lead in the first half via an Emanuele Valeri spot-kick before their opponents turned the game on its head in the second half.
The visitors sit a place and a point behind their weekend opponents in the league table and will exit the drop zone with maximum points in Sardinia this weekend.
