Parma Calcio 1913 - Monza

Adrian Bernabe anchors the midfield for Parma Calcio 1913 as they look to revive their campaign on 6 September 2026. The hosts face a challenging start to the Serie A season, having struggled to find the net in their recent league defeat to Juventus and a cup exit against Cremonese. With El Bilal Toure and David Romero leading the expected XI, Parma must rediscover the clinical edge they displayed during their 2-0 cup victory over Catania in mid-August to secure their first points of the domestic campaign.

Monza arrives at Stadio Ennio Tardini buoyed by a narrow cup success against Torino, a result that provides a timely boost following a difficult 3-2 league loss to Udinese. Cyril Ngonge and Patrick Cutrone are expected to spearhead the attack, aiming to exploit a Parma side currently searching for defensive stability. Having shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw during their last Serie A meeting on 15 March 2025, both sides will view this matchday 3 encounter as a vital opportunity to establish early rhythm.
