Parma and Monza will meet in a pivotal clash near the bottom of the Serie A standings at Stadio Tardini.
Parma, just one point behind their hosts, hoped to upset a struggling Roma at Stadio Olimpico, but a 5-0 loss left them 15th, only a point clear of the relegation zone. Fabio Pecchia’s squad has now lost three consecutive matches, with defensive issues still a concern. Along with Monza, Parma is yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season, making Saturday's match crucial to ending that trend.
Monza, in the relegation zone and winless since October, have appointed Salvatore Bocchetti as their new manager after Alessandro Nesta's sacking. Despite a poor home record, Monza have earned 70% of their points away and will hope for a positive start under Bocchetti, with their first Serie A meeting with Parma offering a winnable fixture.
