2026-2027 Serie A: Parma vs. Genoa, Probable Lineups

Parma and Genoa take the field at 3 p.m. at the Tardini Stadium in a match for the fifth round of Serie A. Both teams are at the bottom of the standings with one point and are looking for a result to regain confidence after a terrible start to the season. Cuesta’s team is coming off a loss to Como, while De Rossi’s men drew at home against Frosinone in the last round.

Bernabé is out: Fabbian is expected to play alongside Lontani and behind lone striker Romero. In midfield, Sierro will partner with Keita, while Britschgi and Valeri will play on the wings.

For Genoa, Colombo and Osmaijc will form the attacking duo, with El Shaarawy starting on the bench, barring any last-minute changes. Ehizibue and Ellertsson will play on the wings, with Baldanzi, Frendrup, and Sow in midfield.

Parma vs. Genoa: Probable Lineups
PARMA (3-4-2-1): Corvi; Troilo, Diego Carlos, Delprato; Britschgi, Sierro, Keita, Valeri; Fabbian, Lontani; Romero. Coach: Cuesta.
GENOA (3-5-2): Bijlow; Marcandalli, Østigård, Otoa; Ehizibue, Baldanzi, Frendrup, Sow, Ellertsson; Osmajić, Colombo. Head Coach: De Rossi.

A lot is at stake for De Rossi in this match, and he spoke plainly at the press conference: “This is a very important game for both teams: they’re different from each other, but they also have excellent players. El Shaarawy? We’re looking into finding him another position on the field. For now, while we wait for him to get back into shape, he’ll remain as the fifth man: he has what it takes—he’s a good defender, just as he’s always been throughout his career.”
