Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore
3 January, 2026
Overview:
Sassuolo hosts Parma in Serie A round 18 on January 3, 2026. Historical H2H favors Parma slightly with 5 wins to Sassuolo's 3 in last 10 meetings, but Sassuolo's home form could tip the balance in this mid-table clash.[1][4]
Recent H2H results: Parma 1-3 Sassuolo
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-1 in favor of Sassuolo Calcio.
Sassuolo likely to dominate possession at home, exploiting Parma's weaker away attack through Berardi's creativity. Parma may counter with disciplined defense seen in recent H2H.
Home advantage and better goal output favor Sassuolo, but Parma's H2H edge introduces draw risk. Model weights recent form higher.
