"As for the visitors, although Parma might have endured a nightmare start to proceedings, Carlos Cuesta's side have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Receiving a string of plaudits from across Italy's elite, the Crusaders find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and they will be confident of making another public statement in Tuscany."
Fiorentina hosts Parma in a critical Serie A encounter as the Viola desperately seek to widen their buffer above the relegation zone. After a devastating 3-0 loss to Udinese, Paolo Vanoli's side currently sit outside the bottom three on goal difference alone, facing intense pressure in a tight relegation battle. Despite recent struggles, Fiorentina demonstrated their capability by securing a 2-1 upset victory at Champions League-chasing Como on February 14th. The hosts will be without defender Fabiano Parisi due to suspension but expect the return of Dodo.
