Comments, predictions Cagliari vs Parma: Away team's sadness

Separated by just one point, on either side of Serie A's relegation zone, survival rivals Cagliari and Parma meet in a crucial match on Sunday.

Both have lost their last two games, leaving them dangerously close to the bottom of the Italian top flight.

Latest Cagliari vs Parma team information

Cagliari coach Davide Nicola could have a full squad to choose from this weekend, with Zito Luvumbo back in full training after several weeks out with an ankle injury.

The Angolan striker could be named on the bench, while top scorer Roberto Piccoli continues to lead the Rossoblu attack.

Once again, Nicola's main selection dilemma will come in central midfield, where Razvan Marin competes with Alessandro Deiola, Michel Adopo and Antoine Makoumbou for a place in the team's engine.

In contrast to their hosts, Parma - who brought in a few new faces in the winter transfer window - have a significant absentee list to contend with.

Defensive duo Yordan Osorio and Alessandro Circati join Mateusz Kowalski and Gabriel Charpentier in the outfield, Hernani is still struggling with a muscle problem, while Romanian wingers Dennis Man and Valentin Mihaila are both major doubts.

Better news for Fabio Pecchia, captain Enrico Del Prato returns from suspension and will slot straight in at right-back.

Latest predicted lineup Cagliari vs Parma

Cagliari:

Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Augello; Makoumbou, Adopo; Zortea, Viola, Felici; Piccoli

Parma:

Suzuki; Del Prato, Valenti, Vogliacco, Valeri; Keita, Sohm; Cancellieri, Haj, Almqvist; Djuric

Latest Cagliari vs Parma football review

After starting 2025 with a promising three-game unbeaten run - beating direct rivals Lecce and Monza along the way - Cagliari have lost their last two games, conceding twice in each.

On Monday night, the Sardinian side briefly threatened to topple high-flying Lazio, as Roberto Piccoli scored an equaliser early in the second half.

In doing so, the striker took his career tally to 19 goals in Serie A – all of which have come against different clubs, representing a record across Europe's top five leagues – but the Biancocelesti soon hit back.

A 1-2 defeat means Cagliari have kept just two clean sheets so far, and such a poor defensive record could eventually cost them their top-flight status.

The Rossoblu have now lost six of their last 10 home games, and coach Davide Nicola will be acutely aware that another defeat on Sunday would leave his side in the bottom three.

Having won four of their last five Serie A games against Parma in Sardinia - as many as in their previous 11 - history will at least be on their side this weekend.

In fact, following a 2-3 home defeat in the first leg in September, Parma have failed to win any of their last six top-flight meetings with Cagliari.

Defeat on this occasion could see the Emilian side fall as much as four points from safety, depending on other results across the Italian peninsula.

Since November, Fabio Pecchia's side have lost eight of their 13 league games, and only bottom-placed Monza have suffered more Serie A defeats in that period.

Last week's 3-1 home defeat to Lecce also continued a worrying trend for last season's second-tier champions, with Parma conceding more goals than any team in the second half of matches.

Furthermore, the Gialloblu have picked up just a single point from their last five away trips: after going unbeaten in five consecutive away games, they have lost four of their last five.
