Serie A 2025-2026: Parma-Fiorentina, the probable formations
Saturday at 12:30 p.m., the Tardini opens the program of the seventeenth Serie A with a challenge with an important specific weight for Parma and Fiorentina, who arrive at the appointment with the common ambition of moving up the rankings. The Ducali must redeem the defeat in double numerical superiority against Lazio while the Viola, unblocked last week against Udinese, are looking for continuity at a time that remains difficult from the standings standpoint.
In Parma, Cuesta regains key pawns for the defensive line: Delprato is fully recovered and will start, while Circati also returns to the squad. The choice of 4-3-2-1 is probable, in which the coach should rely on a midfield composed of Estevez, Keita and Bernabè, while forward Pellegrino will be the central reference supported by Benedyczak and Ondrejka. Oristanio represents the weapon to be inserted in the running game to add unpredictability and freshness.
The Fiorentina, on the other hand, must deal with Ranieri’s disqualification and Pablo Marí’s absence, circumstances that prompt Vanoli to confirm the four-man defense seen in the previous round, with Comuzzo in the center alongside Pongracic. On the left, Fortini could be preferred to a restored but not yet top-notch Gosens, while on the outside midfield space could be given to Ndour, favored over Sohm. Up front, Gudmundsson will act behind Kean, called upon to lead the’attack.
Probable lineups
Parma (4-3-3): Corvi; Britschgi, Delprato, Valenti, Valeri; Bernabe, Estevez, Keita; Ondrejka, Pellegrino, Benedyczak. All. Cuesta.
Fiorentina (4-4-1-1): De Gea; Dodô, Pongracic, Comuzzo, Fortini; Ndour, Fagioli, Mandragora, Parisi; Gudmundsson; Kean. All. Vanoli.
