Cremonese vs. Parma: Match Prediction
Davide Nicola's team has started the current championship successfully and has a good chance to continue in the same vein at home. The statistics support this: in their last six home Serie A matches, Cremonese has suffered only one defeat, securing four wins in that period. Furthermore, during their last season in the top Italian division, the club managed to beat Roma (2-1) and take points from Milan (0-0) at home.
Parma regularly struggles away from home: in their last 15 away league matches, the team has secured only one win against nine losses, and in eight of those encounters, the players failed to score. Moreover, in their last four away Serie A games, Parma has lost three times, including to lower-ranked opponents like Cagliari and Empoli.
I anticipate another strong performance from the hosts, and my prediction: Cremonese with a handicap (0)
