Parma will play host to Cremonese at Stadio Ennio Tardini in Serie B on Sunday.
Parma vs Cremonese Preview
Parma have earned promotion to Serie A, with two matches to spare in Serie B. They sit atop the table with 74 points and can no longer be outpaced by third-placed Venezia (67 points). Second-placed Como (71 points) are fighting to maintain their place to become the second qualified team after Parma.
The Emiliani finished fourth in Serie B last season and took part in the promotion playoffs but were knocked out in the semi-finals. The hosts last played in the top flight in 2020-21. The reverse fixture of Sunday’s game ended 2-1 in favor of Parma but Cremonese came out on top in their previous clash 3-1.
Trending
Cremonese probably need this meeting more than Parma. The visitors are fourth-placed on 63 points and assured of at least a place in the promotion playoffs. However, they face stiff competition from fifth-placed Catanzaro (60 points), who could topple Cremonese and deny them a direct qualification for the playoffs semi-finals.
La Cremo played in Serie A last season, finishing second from bottom in the standings to face relegation to Serie B. They are hoping to make a quick return to the top flight but the journey is still long. Even if they succeed in maintaining their fourth place, they will participate in the arduous promotion playoffs.
