The Coppa Italia Round of 32 match between Parma and Cremonese will be held on September 1, 2026, at Stadio Ennio Tardini in Parma.

Team form
Parma
Parma enters this match having lost three out of their last five games. Most recently, they faced a narrow defeat at home to Cagliari with a score of 0-1. Before that, they managed a home win against Catania (2-0) but drew twice and lost to Sampdoria (0-2). Collectively, they have seen an average of 0.8 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game, indicating potential issues with their attack despite solid defensive organization at times. Their formation of 4-3-3 emphasizes a preferred attacking style, relying on strong wing play and midfield support.
Cremonese
Cremonese has struggled similarly, losing four out of their last five fixtures. They recently suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Modena. In their previous away match against Empoli, they lost out 0-1, although they demonstrated resilience with a home win over Sampdoria (2-0). The team averages 0.6 goals scored and 1.0 conceded, showcasing difficulties in finding the net. Playing in a 3-5-2 formation, Cremonese aims to create opportunities through a structured midfield and can be defensively solid, though their results have not reflected a cohesiveness on the pitch.
Head-to-head
In their last five encounters, Parma has only managed one victory, registering a win against Cremonese in 2017. Recent results tilt in Cremonese's favor with Parma losing 0-2 in their last meeting (March 2026). Their prior clash ended in a 1-1 draw in May 2024. A historical overview demonstrates that the matches between these teams often yield low-scoring outcomes, suggesting a potential for a closely contested game.
Key factors
Both teams exhibit similar overall statistics from their recent matches; however, Parma showed a marginally better xG with 0.76 in their last game compared to Cremonese's 0.37. The home side, guided by coach Carlos Cuesta, will aim to enhance their attacking cohesion. Key midfielders such as Adrián Bernabé and Christian Ordoñez, who have been performing relatively well, need to connect expertly with the forwards. For Cremonese, coach Marco Giampaolo's 3-5-2 formation necessitates strong performances from midfielders to provide support and creativity upfront, with all eyes particularly on Federico Bonazzoli to finish chances.
Prediction
Given that both teams are struggling to secure wins, the home advantage and a generally higher xG for Parma suggest they may be able to edge out this encounter. Their last performances and tactical alignment indicate they should have increased momentum playing at home, combined with historical advantages in their favorable fixtures.
Based on recent performances, tactical setups, and the head-to-head history, Parma is considered the clear favorite to secure a crucial victory in this Coppa Italia clash. A close match is anticipated, likely presented through a tightly contested and low-scoring scenario.
