Parma Calcio 1913 - Udinese

David Romero leads the line for Parma Calcio 1913 as they return to Stadio Ennio Tardini on 28 October 2026 for this Serie A matchday 9 encounter. The hosts are currently navigating a difficult period, having suffered three consecutive league defeats, including a recent 2-1 loss against Lazio. With Nesta Elphege sidelined due to injury, the expected XI relies on the midfield trio of Mandela Keita, Vincent Sierro, and Christian Ordonez to regain control. Parma will look to rediscover the form that secured a 2-1 victory over Genoa in September to lift their spirits before the home crowd.

Udinese arrive in search of a response following a challenging run of results, most recently falling 2-0 to AC Milan. The visitors must contend with the absence of Oumar Solet, leaving their defensive unit to be marshalled by Christian Kabasele and Matteo Palma. While Udinese have struggled for consistency, their ability to find the net in high-scoring affairs, such as the 5-3 loss to Inter, suggests they remain a threat. In this pivotal mid-week clash, both sides aim to break their respective winless streaks and climb the table.
