After two consecutive defeats, Sassuolo welcome Reggio Emilian rivals Parma to the Mapei Stadium on Sunday.
Roberto De Zerbi believes the red card ‘transformed’ their Coppa Italia defeat to SPAL, but maintains Sassuolo’s high press approach is damaged by VAR. The Neroverdi crashed out of the competition at the Round of 16 with a 2-0 home defeat, sealed by Simone Missiroli and Lorenzo Dickmann after Filip Djuricic’s dismissal. “The game was transformed with the red card, as we created so many chances in the first half, hit the woodwork, and deserved to take the lead,” the coach told media. The dismissal was caused by Djuricic’s high foot, catching Leonardo Sernicola on the inside of the knee, though it was more clumsy than intentionally reckless. “
Jeremie Boga has not been the same player since he spent six weeks out with COVID-19 over the summer. “I agree, he has been like this for a while. I honestly think it’s just a physical issue and I don’t believe he isn’t trying his hardest, otherwise, I’d turn him inside out. My choices were limited by injuries, fitness issues, and the fact Francesco Magnanelli will play this weekend, so he can’t have two matches in three days.”
Roberto De Zerbi has a concerning list of injuries ahead of Parma's visit, with Filippo Romagna and star forward Domenico Berardi not set to return until the end of the month and Mehdi Bourabia also doubtful due to a thigh strain. Full-back Jeremy Toljan missed out on the squad to play SPAL and his involvement on Sunday remains in the balance. Suspended midfielder Pedro Obiang is unavailable due to his red card against Juventus, so Francesco Magnanelli or Maxime Lopez will join Manuel Locatelli in the midfield. Gregoire Defrel - a scorer in the Juve defeat - will compete with Filip Djuricic and Hamed Traore for a spot in support of Francesco Caputo.
Sassuolo (4-2-3-1): Andrea Consigli; Georgios Kyriakopoulos, Gian Marco Ferrari, Vlad Chiriches, Jeremy Toljan; Francesco Magnanelli, Manuel Locatelli; Jeremie Boga, Filip Djuricic, Hamed Junior Traore; Francesco Caputo
Roberto D’Aversa admitted Parma need new signings in January but believes the Gialloblu played on a par with Lazio for 60 minutes. D’Aversa returned to Parma earlier this week to replace Fabio Liverani, but he lost on his debut against Lazio. “The performance was good, we played on a par with Lazio for 60 minutes,” the coach told media. “The regret is for having conceded a goal for lack of malice, we should have done better, young people do make mistakes and you pay a high price for that. We created important goal-scoring opportunities, but I can’t blame the guys in terms of commitment.”
D’Aversa believes the Ducali need new signings in January. “The president and the sporting director know what we need. I can only think about the pitch, as far as I am concerned there are no problems. Young players must improve, but we need experienced players close to them. “Serie A is difficult, it takes time to settle in. We are not going to reach our target only because I arrived here, we all must do something more.”
Parma coach Roberto D'Aversa is fast running out of bodies to stock his trademark 4-3-3 setup with, as Vincent Laurini, Yordan Osorio, Yann Karamoh, Lautaro Valenti and the suspended Hernani are all absent. Defenders Riccardo Gagliolo, Simone Iacoponi, and Botond Balogh are all doubtful too, with Juraj Kucka also facing further tests before the game. If Kucka is unavailable, then Swiss teenager Simon Sohm will continue with Gervinho alongside either Roberto Inglese or Andreas Cornelius in the attack.
Parma (3-5-2): Luigi Sepe; Giuseppe Pezzella, Bruno Alves, Maxime Busi; Jasmin Kurtic, Simon Sohm, Gaston Brugman, Wylan Cyprien, Juraj Kucka; Gervinho, Roberto Inglese

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
