Parma – Cremonese Tip Coppa Italia, 2nd round on Tuesday, 01.09.26 at 18:00
Both teams have survived the 1st round of the Coppa Italia, but then made a terrible start in their respective leagues. Both sides are even still waiting for their first league goal of the 2026/27 season.
Of course, this has an impact on my Parma Cremonese tip! Especially since the selection Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.62 would have been successful in both of last year’s duels before the “Grigiorossi” lost the fight against relegation and had to go to Serie B!
Both teams are obviously unsettled and will initially be concerned about safety. However, since a draw goes directly to a penalty shoot-out after 90 minutes, greater risks could be taken at the back. But it should be 0-0 by then.
Parma vs Cremonese AI Predictions:
Our Parma Cremonese AI prediction rattled through the circuits of our data model within a few seconds and then confronted me with several betting suggestions, which I would probably have combined with a strong sports betting bonus even without CPU input.
A 0-0 at half-time is obvious and promises odds of 2.47 placed as a result bet, which is absolutely playable. Since Jamie Vardy left Cremonese in the summer, his former strike partner Federico Bonazzoli has been missing a capable passing station.
Meanwhile, you don’t have to hope too much for Parma’s offense either. Against Cagliari, the xG value on Matchday 1 was 0.76, while it almost touched the floor with 0.26 in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat against Juve.

With a penalty shoot-out looming after the final whistle of the 90 minutes, the pace will most likely pick up a bit in the second half – especially towards the end. After all, no one wants to let luck decide.
If you have a free bet at hand and want to take a little more risk, then half-time/full-time: draw/Parma at a 4.85 would probably be something for you. I trust the first division team to deliver the lucky punch late in the game a bit more anyway!
What you need to consider when betting on Parma vs. Cremonese
- Draw tendency in direct comparison: I see a noticeable tendency to close results in the historical duels; after all, 5 of the last 16 meetings between Parma and Cremonese have ended in a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.
- Roller coaster ride of the guests in the cup: Cremonese celebrated a great cup fairytale in 2022/23 by reaching the semi-finals, but experienced an early knockout last season with the first-round defeat against Palermo.
- Extreme away weakness at Cremonese: The guests are currently having a hard time away from home and have lost 9 of their last 11 away games across all seasons.
- Parma’s Serie A terminus: The home side have a clear end-of-line pattern in the cup competition; during the past 8 editions of the Coppa Italia, Parma has been eliminated by a Serie A representative with one exception.
