Parma will host a struggling SPAL at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Sunday (December 18) in Serie B as they look to embark on a winning streak. The Crociati beat Brescia 2-0 in their last outing for their first win in four games to climb to fifth in the standings with 26 points in 17 games. It’s their second straight season in the second division, having been relegated from Serie A at the end of the 2020-21 season after two years in the top flight.
SPAL, meanwhile, are down in 17th with 17 points from as many games, having failed to win their last seven games. Since beating Cosenza 5-0 in October, Gli Spallini have drawn four times and lost thrice between November 12 and December 4, losing to Benevento (2-1), Brescia (2-0) and Modena (3-2).
Another setback at the weekend could see them plunge back into the bottom three, where they will face the risk of a direct relegation to Serie C.
