Parma (home)
- Parma have scored just 15 goals in 18 Serie A home games this season.
- AC Parma have lost their last three Serie A matches.
- Parma were beaten 2-3 by Roma at home in their most recent match before losing 1-0 away at Como, an unusual result for Carlos Cuesta’s side which is known for its compact, organized defensive structure and focus on set-piece opportunities.
Sassuolo (away)
- Sassuolo have won five and conceded 23 in 18 away Serie A games this term.
- The Neroverdi have lost their last couple and will need to find a response if they are to beat a Parma side on a run of defeats.
- Sassuolo are flexible and can change shape to a 4-4-2 when they sit deep, but under Fabio Grosso they have played a more proactive, striker-centric style that suits Andrea Pinamonti.
Head-to-Head
- Sassuolo have yet to beat Parma away in Serie A.
- The last two meetings saw Parma win one and the other finish 1-1 - a 1-1 draw in October four months ago.
Key Players
