More markets for the Serie A game, scheduled for August 22 at 2:45 PM ET.
Parma Calcio 1913 host Cagliari Calcio at Stadio Ennio Tardini for the Serie A opener on August 22, 2026. Both sides finished the prior campaign in mid-table, with Parma showing improved late-season form under their coach and Cagliari relying on defensive organization. Significant injury concerns shape the buildup: Parma list multiple absences including thigh, leg, groin, hamstring, and knee issues affecting depth in attack and defense, while Cagliari miss players with illness, thigh, and long-term ACL problems. Home advantage and the early-season reset favor Parma in trader consensus, though the evenly matched standings and typical Serie A caution suggest a competitive, low-scoring affair remains plausible. Weather or lineup confirmations closer to kickoff could further influence implied probabilities.
