Cremonese vs Parma

Cremonese (W2 D2 in the current League) is the first newly promoted team to be unbeaten in their first four games played in a Serie A campaign from Sampdoria in 2012/13 (W3 D1 in that case).

Cremonese have drawn with no goals two games in a row for the first time in their Serie A history (0-0 both with Hellas Verona and Parma).

Cremonese have kept two clean sheets in a row in Serie A (vs Hellas Verona and Parma) for the first time since March 1995 (vs Foggia and Cagliari in that case).

Cremonese have won three of their last five league matches against Parma (D1 L1), having picked up just one point in as many previous matches against the Crociati in Serie A and B; the two teams will meet again in the top flight for the first time since April 10, 1996, when Nevio Scala's Parma won 2-0 away against Luigi Simoni's Grisorossi.

In the last four league matches between Cremonese and Parma played in Lombardy, the record is perfectly balanced, with two wins apiece and five goals scored; the most recent game saw the Gialloblù triumph in Serie B (2-1, 1 October 2023).

Cremonese have won their last two home games in Serie A and could equal their best such run in the competition: three consecutive home wins, recorded between April and May 1995 and between October and December 1993, on both occasions under Luigi Simoni.

Parma have collected just one point after their first three Serie A games of the season and, in the event of a defeat, they would equal their worst start in the top flight after four matches played: one point in 2006/07, when they scored just one goal, the same as the Crociati's current tally.

Should Parma lose, Carlos Cuesta would become the first Parma manager to lose each of his first three Serie A away games since Mario Beretta at the start of the 2005/06 season; furthermore, no Parma manager has ever lost his first three top-flight away games without scoring a goal.
