Parma will host Spezia at the Ennio Tardini on Wednesday in the round of 32 of the 2025-26 Coppa Italia campaign. The home side have endured a sluggish start to their Serie A campaign, most recently playing out a goalless draw with newly-promoted Cremonese, and will be desperate for better luck in the domestic cup this week.
They were drawn against Pescara in the previous round of the Coppa Italia and picked up a straightforward 2-0 win over the second-tier outfit with Mateo Pellegrino scoring a second-half double to cap an overall masterful performance.
Spezia have also been poor in their league duties this season and have work to do if they are to return to the promotion playoffs by season's end. They traded tackles with Sampdoria in their cup opener last month, playing out a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes before going on to win the contest on penalties.
Trending
The visitors last appeared at this stage of the Coppa Italia two seasons ago, losing on penalties to Sassuolo, and will be looking to test their mettle against another top-flight side this week.
Parma vs Spezia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been six meetings between Parma and Spezia. The home side are undefeated in all six contests, picking up three wins and three draws.
- The two teams last faced off in a Serie B clash back last April, which the hosts won 2-0.

Parma vs Spezia Prediction
The Crociati are without a win in their last four games and have won just two of their last 10 competitive outings. They are, however, undefeated in their two home games this season and will be looking forward to Wednesday's clash.
Aquilotti are also winless in their last four outings, conceding six goals in that period. The gulf in class and quality between the two teams, coupled with the visitors' poor record in this fixture, could see Spezia lose this one.
Prediction: Parma 1-0 Spezia
