Given Parma's poor run so far, the manager is likely to ring changes to his team, as they are desperate for results.

Player to watch: Patrick Cutrone
Patrick Cutrone joined Parma from Como, and he has started showing signs that he could carry the goal-scoring burden for Parma. So far, he has scored a goal after two matches. Given his robust style of play, the Cremonese defenders will be worried about him.
