Cagliari vs Parma Prediction and Betting Tips | May 30, 2023 

Cagliari host Parma at the Sardegna Arena for the first leg of their Serie B promotion playoff semifinals on Tuesday (May 30).

Both teams ended the regular season strongly, finishing in the top eight. In fact, Cagliari and Parma both ended up with 60 points apiece from 38 games, with only goal difference separating them.

After blowing hot and cold for much of the season, Parma found their best form towards the end of the season. They won six of their last eight games, including their last three.

Cagliari, meanwhile, won their last four games to seal a spot in the playoffs, where they beat Venezia 2-1 in the preliminary round. A first-half brace from Gianluca Lapadula was enough for the Islanders to progress to the semi-finals. Nicholas Pierini's second-half goal for Venezia couldn't inspire a comeback.

Cagliari and Parma enter the crucial fixture on the back of a strong run that has seen them win their last few games. The Islanders have a good record to the Emilia-Romagna outfit recently, but the visitors are high on confidence, too. That could end in a high-scoring draw with all to play for in the return.
