In one of the matches of the 1/32 finals of the Italian Cup, Salernitana and Parma will meet. Who will continue the path to the trophy?
"Salernitana"
Not without luck, but Salernitana was able to retain its place in Serie A last season, finishing in 17th position bordering the relegation zone. The gap from the one that dropped in the Cagliari class was only one point. Before the reporting match, Salernitana played five test matches without suffering a single defeat. Two of them were won, and the other three ended in a draw. Last season, Salernitana crashed out of the Italian Cup from the 1/16 finals stage, losing 0-1 to Genoa.
"Parma"
Last season, Parma competed in Serie B, and failed to advance in class, finishing in twelfth place. The gap from the playoff zone reached nine points. In the upcoming season, the Crusaders will again fight for the elite division, but it will also be difficult to break into the top 8, since their composition has not changed much. The upcoming match of the Italian Cup will be Parma's first in the new draw, and in the past it dropped out of the 1/32 finals, being weaker than Lecce (1-3).
Statistics and figures:
- Salernitana lost in one of the previous thirteen games;
- Parma has not lost for five matches;
- Salernitana has not won against Parma yet - 2 draws and 5 defeats.
Forecast
Salernitana has never beaten Parma, which it will try to correct by winning a historic debut victory over the Crusaders. Given the current form of the teams, the seahorses will achieve their goal.
