Serie A 2025-2026: Parma-Hellas Verona, the likely lineups

Sunday at 3 p.m. will see the match between Parma and Hellas Verona. The Crusaders, by winning, would stretch significantly over the relegation zone, moving eight points behind third-last Fiorentina. Much more complicated situation for the Gialloblù, who find themselves second-last, six points behind seventeenth-place Lecce. A victory therefore becomes a must to continue hoping for permanence in Serie A.

Cuesta’s team, after heavy defeats against Atalanta and Juve, redeemed itself by defeating Dall’Ara 0-1 and will surely want to repeat against Hellas. The Spanish coach decides to deploy a 4-3-3: Oristanio, Pellegrino and Ondrejka form the offensive trident, the usual Bernabé will be entrusted with the keys of the midfield. In defense, the central pair will consist of Del Prato and Circati.

The Veneti come in with only two points obtained in their last four games, with the salvation zone receding day by day. They have an obligation to win at the Tardini to continue their hopes of not returning to Serie B next year. Sammarco comes in with a 3-5-2: Sarr and Orban will play in attack, Frese and Belghali will act as full-band outsiders.
