"Starting with the hosts, while Cremonese might have only made their iconic Serie A return this season, the top-flight newcomers have enjoyed a remarkable start to proceedings. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across Italy's elite this year, Davide Nicola's men find the mood in their camp at a famous high. In fact, the Lombardy-based outfit open this weekend's fixtures sat in bronze medal position and they will be confident of laying down another early marker here."
"As for the visitors, while Parma might have dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Serie A status, the Crusaders are widely regarded as a standout relegation contender this time around. Last seen marking their return from September's fortnight interval with a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of Cagliari, Carlos Cuesta appears to have a major job on his hands this year."
Cremonese returned to Serie A and have started the season strongly, collecting seven points from three games and sitting third in the table. The team opened with a 2-1 win at AC Milan and followed with a 3-2 home victory over Sassuolo, showing resilient attacking form and only one competitive home defeat so far this year. Davide Nicola's squad display high morale and confidence at the Stadio Giovanni Zini. Parma have struggled, earning a single point and one league goal while suffering 2-0 defeats to Cagliari and Juventus. Carlos Cuesta faces pressure as his side occupy the relegation zone and look vulnerable.
