A Deeper Dive into the Playoffs
Key Stats

– Parma enters the semi-finals on a streak of eight unbeaten games, suggesting a strong challenge for Cagliari.
As Serie B reaches its climax, Cagliari and Parma are gearing up for a titanic struggle in the playoff semi-finals on Tuesday night. Both teams, eager to book a berth in the Serie A, find themselves at a crucial juncture in their journey back to the top tier.
Cagliari: The Homeward Bound
Following their demotion from Serie A at the close of the 2021-22 season, Cagliari are striving for an immediate bounce back. The Red and Blues, under the savvy leadership of Claudio Ranieri, demonstrated commendable tenacity throughout the season, amassing 60 points from 38 matches. This impressive feat secured them a fifth-place finish and a coveted position in the promotion playoffs preliminary round.

Their campaign in the playoffs got off to a promising start with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Venezia. Gianluca Lapadula, with a first-half brace, served as the linchpin of Cagliari’s victory. Despite being level on points with Parma, Cagliari found themselves behind owing to their less-than-favourable head-to-head record.
However, they’ll take solace from the fact that their last encounter at home with Parma ended in a deadlock. This piece of information, coupled with the fact that they only tasted defeat eight times during the league season, should inspire confidence in the squad and its supporters alike. The challenge now lies in converting the drawn games into victories, a factor that deterred their advancement in the table.
Parma: Aiming to Reclaim Former Glory
Parma, meanwhile, found themselves banished from the Serie A at the end of the 2020–21 season, concluding a dire campaign with a mere 20 points from 38 games. However, they’ve managed to stage a remarkable turnaround this season, finishing fourth in the Serie B table, with 60 points from an equal number of matches.
Despite entering the match after a considerable hiatus, Parma boasts an enviable form, having won six of their last eight games, and remaining unbeaten since mid-March.
The Battle Ahead and Predictions
Given the prowess displayed by both teams in their recent outings, we can anticipate an intriguing first leg on Cagliari’s home turf. The home team, unfortunately, will be without the services of Filippo Falco, Elio Capradossi, and Luigi Palomba due to injuries, but they can take comfort in Lapadula’s scintillating form. With 24 goals to his name this season, he’ll indeed be the man to watch for Cagliari.
Parma, on the other hand, will miss Lautaro Valenti and Drissa Camara due to injury and suspension, respectively. The team, however, can rely on the 45-year-old goalkeeping legend Gianluigi Buffon and their leading scorer Franco Vazquez.
