Parma take on the visitors Cremonese at “Stadio Ennio Tardini” in the opening matchday of the Italian Serie B of 2017/2018 season. The game will be played on Friday, August 25th.
Parma are going through another resurrection and uprising from the very bottom of the Italian football system. Last season the legendary club performed in the Lega Pro, having gained 70 points with 55-36 goal difference in 38 rounds resulting in the side’s second place in the Group table. Afterwards, “Gli Emiliani” passed through the Lega Pro Promotion Play Offs at one breath: Piacenza 0:0, 2:0, Lucchese 2:1, 2:1, Pordenone 2:1 and, at last, Alessandria 2:0 in the final. That was the team’s way to the Italian Serie B. Parma entered a new season with 1:2 defeat to Bari in the Coppa Italia, still, the club’s main focus is on the Serie B.

In previous season Cremonese also played in the Lega Pro. The side has won the Group A with 78 points taken and 68-40 goal difference after 38 gameweeks. But the club completely failed in the Lega Pro Super Cup, having lost both its clashes: 1:2 to Venezia and 1:3 to Foggia. In this season Cremonese conducted two official encounters resulting in 1:0 triumph over Entella and 1:2 defeat to Bari.
It will be the first head-to-head for Parma and Cremonese in their history. The both opponents have just promoted to the Serie B, thus the home field and the club’s name turn Parma into the favourites of the upcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Parma to win.
