Sassuolo (home)
- Sassuolo (W1, D2, L2) have been in patchy form recently.
- Fabio Grosso, appointed in June 2024, has instilled a pragmatic, disciplined game plan in Sassuolo, which sets up in a compact shape with the defense disciplined and quick transitions.
- Sassuolo come into this game on the back of a 1-1 away draw against Bologna and 0-1 home defeat against Torino, which leaves them 9th in Serie A with 22 points from 17 games.
Parma (away)
- Parma (W2, L3) have also been inconsistent.
- Parma, on the other hand, are a possession-based team under Carlos Cuesta, who has implemented his structured, positional system with rotations and pressing very quickly since taking over in June 2025.
- Parma Calcio 1913 are 15th in Serie A with 17 points from 16 games, just above the relegation zone.
Head-to-Head
Sassuolo and Parma have not met recently in Serie A, with the last match between the two clubs being a friendly two years ago which the visitors won 1-0.
Key Players
- Andrea Pinamonti leads Sassuolo’s front line with 4 goals in 16 Serie A appearances and is the best chance for an anytime goal for the hosts.
- Mateo Pellegrino tops Parma’s scoring charts with 4 goals in 16 Serie A matches and can make the difference at the top end for the visitors.
Betting Insights
- Sassuolo (1.9 odds) are favorites at home, Parma (4.2 odds) are outsiders, and the draw is at 3.3.
- Both Teams To Score is 1.9, which suggests the bookmakers feel both sides will get chances in this game.
Prediction
Tarik Muharemovic has scored 2 of Sassuolo’s last 6 Serie A goals and looks to have added a little bite to the Neroverdi’s attack lately, so we’re going for the home side to claim all three points in a close, competitive game on Saturday.
