Cagliari come into this game in good form, having won four of their last five matches. That run includes a win over Parma earlier in the season, so they will feel confident. Parma, on the other hand, are struggling and have lost three of their last five, including their most recent outing.

Matches between these two have often been close and fairly low-scoring, with the last meeting ending one-nil to Cagliari. Given Cagliari's stronger recent results and home advantage, they look the more likely team to come out on top, though a tight, close contest is expected at the Unipol Domus.
