Parma 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Four goals in five games has Parma 15th, and it is a familiar problem – they scored just 28 in the whole of last season, the lowest total in Serie A. Alberto Gilardino’s side have won once, at home to Genoa, and lost to Cagliari, Juventus and Como.
David Romero has two of the four goals. Emanuele Valeri takes most of the corners with nine. Edoardo Corvi has made 21 saves in five games and has yet to keep a clean sheet, though seven conceded is not a disastrous return.
Thirteenth and 45 points last season was survival achieved through defensive discipline rather than anything else, and the shape of this season looks identical. Gilardino needs goals from somewhere; the back three is doing its job.

Parma’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: David Romero
- Free-Kicks: Emanuele Valeri
- Corners: Emanuele Valeri, Vincent Sierro
Emanuele Valeri has taken 9 of Parma’s corners to Vincent Sierro’s 4. Emanuele Valeri has had one of the direct free-kicks. Parma are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – David Romero, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
