Parma will face Como at the Ennio Tardini on Saturday in the 10th round of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign. The home side have endured a slow start to their season for a second consecutive campaign and will be looking to make improvements in the coming weeks to pull clear of the relegation zone.
They played out a goalless draw with Genoa in their last match and had goalkeeper Zion Suzuki to thank for the result, with the Japanese international making a brilliant penalty save in the 97th minute to ensure Carlos Cuesta's side picked up a point on hostile ground.
Como, meanwhile, are enjoying yet another impressive campaign and are looking to properly contend for European football this season. They picked up an impressive 2-0 win over Juventus last time out, with Marc-Oliver Kempf opening the scoring just four minutes after kick-off before star midfielder Nico Paz sealed the points with a fine strike in the second half.
The visitors sit sixth in the table with 12 points from seven matches and could climb into the Champions League spots with a win on Saturday.

The Crociati are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won just one league game all season. They are slight underdogs heading into the weekend clash, but will rely on their home advantage to perhaps earn a point.
