Parma Form
Parma have suddenly started picking up points steadily towards the end of the season: two draws and a win. Carlos Cuesta has unexpectedly found a working combination in attack: Gabriel Strefezza and Nesta Elfege created goals in each of the last two games. Had the home side discovered this duo earlier, they might not be drifting near the bottom of the table.
Key Parma Numbers:
Parma rank 16th for possession (44.3%).
Parma are 18th for touches in the opposition box (15.6).
Parma are 19th for shots on target (2.8).
Potential Parma Lineup
(3-5-2)
Zion Suzuki — Alessandro Circati, Mariano Troilo, Sascha Britschgi — Enrico Delprato, Adrian Bernabe, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Mandela Keita, Emanuele Valeri — Gabriel Strefezza, Nesta Elfege.
Unavailable: Matija Frigan (injured), Benjamin Cremaschi, Mateo Pellegrino, Lautaro Valenti (all doubtful).
Pisa Form
Pisa have lost four matches in a row and seemingly given up hope of staying in the Serie A. To try to salvage the situation in winter the club signed talented winger Samuel Iling-Junior, but he has now been removed from the squad at the initiative of the coaching staff. That is a clear illustration of the many problems in the dressing room.
Key Pisa Numbers:
Pisa are bottom of the league for possession (40.1%).
Pisa rank 18th for shots on target (2.8).
Pisa are 15th for expected goals (33.5).
Potential Pisa Lineup
(3-4-3)
Adrian Semper — Arturo Calabresi, Antonio Caracciolo, Simone Canestrelli — Idrissa Toure, Michel Aebischer, Malthe Hojholt, Samuele Angori — Felipe Loyola, Henrik Meister, Stefano Moreo.
Unavailable: Marius Marin, Mehdi Leris, Daniel Denoon (all doubtful).
