Parma – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The “Crusaders” are returning to Serie A. It wasn’t on the first attempt, even under Fabio Pecchia, but they eventually succeeded. Last season, this legendary team won Italy’s second division.
It’s clear that this season will be more challenging compared to the last. However, the investors haven’t provided significant squad reinforcement—Emanuele Valeri, a defender from Frosinone, was the only full-fledged newcomer for a long time.
Palermo – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The “Rosanero” are also a popular club with a colorful, though even more unstable, history. Last season, they too were fighting for a return to Serie A. However, they only finished sixth in the regular season. After defeating Sampdoria in the first round of the playoffs, they then lost twice to Venezia.
Alessio Dionisi is now the head coach. Under him, Sassuolo gradually regressed in recent years, but before that, he had a strong year with Empoli, leading them to promotion to Serie A as champions, and was named the best coach of Serie B in the 2020/2021 season.
