Parma welcome mid table Lentigione to the Tardini on Sunday, the Ducali are arguable on their worst run of the season having picked up just one win in the last five rounds.
Despite the poor form and criticism coach Luigi Apolloni has come under over the past few weeks, his Parma side still remain top of the table and undefeated. Last Sundays 0-0 draw away to Forli saw Parma's lead at the top slashed to seven points as second placed Alto Vicentino kept the pressure on with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Romagna Cenrto. The last time these two met back in October, Parma secured a comfortable 3-0 victory thanks to goals from Luca Cacioli and a double from Cristian Longobardi. Apolloni will have to do without the man who opened the scoring back in October as Luca Cacioli sits this one out, which means the coach will look to either fit again Lorenzo Adorni or youngster Giulio Mulas to play alongside Alessandro Lucarelli at the back. With goals hard to come by in recent weeks, Parma will be delighted to welcome back top scorer Yves Baraye for this one, the Senegalese striker picked up two booking in the draw over Ribelle two weeks ago meaning he was forced to sit out the trip to Forli. As Parma hope to get back to winning ways, Lentigione will be no push overs, having won three of there last five games, Lentigione come into this one still with a chance of a playoff place as they sit just six points off Ribelle in fifth, this after last weekends narrow 2-1 home victory over relegation threatened Mezzolara. Player Watch - Yves Baraye Parma's top scorer will be fired up for this one, having picked up the softest of red cards against Ribelle, Baraye will be out for revenge, despite sitting among the travelling fans on Sunday, Baraye looked a frustrated figure, desperate to be on the pitch. He will be hoping to continue where he left off before his red card against Ribelle and that was with yet another goal. Parma probable XI; Zommers; Benassi, Adorni, Lucarelli, Agrifogli; Miglietta, Giorgino; Ricci, Melandri, Corapi, Baraye.
