Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Parma, 16th position with 1 point and a negative goal difference of -2
Cagliari, 14th position with 1 point and a negative goal difference of -1

Cagliari and Parma will face off in the Serie A Week 3 match on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy. Cagliari remains unbeaten in their last seven Serie A encounters with Parma (W5 D2), having won their last three meetings.  The last time the Rossoblu achieved multiple consecutive victories against a single team in the league was against Brescia, with five wins between 1992 and 2004.

Here is the scenario.

Cagliari has not lost in 13 of their last 14 home games against Parma in Serie A (W8 D5). Their sole victory during this stretch was on May 8, 2013, when they won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Aleandro Rosi.

Parma has netted 12 goals in their last eight Serie A matches against Cagliari. However, the Gialloblu have managed to win just one of those encounters, with two draws and five losses.

Parma has not secured a win in their last eight Serie A matches following the international break (D4 L4), with their last victory occurring on October 20, 2019, against Genoa (5-1).

Cagliari has yet to win their first two matches this season (D1 L1) and has not won their first three matches of the season in any of their last four Serie A campaigns: the last time the Rossoblu won such matches was on September 15, 2019, against Parma (3-1).

Parma has only won one of their last 14 away matches in Serie A (D5 L8): a 3-2 victory on May 25, in the final match of the previous season, against Atalanta.

Cagliari has conceded both of their goals this season in the last half hour of play, which is also when Parma scored their only goal of the season, netted by Cutrone against Atalanta.

✅  Player Stats

Patrick Cutrone, who found the back of the net in his league debut for Parma, is looking to score in two consecutive Serie A matches for the first time since December 2024 and January 2025, when he scored against Lecce and Lazio. In total, the Gialloblù striker has netted three goals against Cagliari in this competition, with only Hellas Verona being a tougher opponent, where he has scored four goals.

Andrea Belotti has contributed to three goals in his last four Serie A matches against Parma, with one goal and two assists. The new striker for Cagliari has already netted for five different clubs in Italy’s top division.  Since his debut in the 2014/15 season, only Simone Verdi (seven) and Gianluca Caprari (six) have outperformed him.
