Parma vs Monza team news and expert analysis
The Ennio Tardini club returned from the second tier in 2024 and, last season, under Carlos Cuesta García, climbed to 13th place with 45 points. They have made a disappointing start this time around, losing at home to Cagliari. Against Juventus, they conceded two unanswered goals. Earlier, they had beaten Catania in the cup, but this week they suffered another defeat in that competition, losing to Cremonese.
The club from the Milan suburbs left Serie A in 2025 after two debut seasons in the top flight, finishing bottom of the table. They returned immediately, although only after going through the play-offs, having finished third in the regular season. Back at the highest level, however, they suffered a heavy defeat to their very first opponents, Inter. They had more chances to take points against Udinese but still lost 3-4. In the cup, they comfortably defeated Avellino. They then also beat Torino in the competition, although this time by a narrow 1-0 margin.
El Bilal Touré and his teammates averaged 0.74 goals scored per match last season while conceding 1.21. The newcomers to the top flight had averaged 1.60 goals scored and almost twice as few conceded – 0.88 – in Serie B.
