Get ready for a thrilling Serie A showdown as Roma travel to the Stadio Tardini to face Parma, with kickoff set for 17:00 UK time (18:00 CEST). The Giallorossi are on a mission to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and they’ve brought their A-game with a star-studded starting lineup.

After a dominant 4-0 victory over Fiorentina last week, Roma shook up the race for fourth place, capitalizing on slip-ups from Juventus, Milan, and Como. But Juve bounced back with a 1-0 win at Lecce last night, so the pressure is on Gian Piero Gasperini’s side to deliver a response. Today, Paulo Dybala makes a surprise return to the starting XI, forming a dynamic attacking trio alongside Matias Soulé and top scorer Donyell Malen. It’s Dybala’s first start since January 25, and fans can’t wait to see La Joya work his magic.

Injuries have hit Roma hard, with Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Zaragoza, Evan Ferguson, and Artem Dovbyk all sidelined. But there’s good news: Neil El Aynaoui is back after a one-match ban, and midfielders Manu Koné and Wesley have shaken off knocks to start. For Parma, safety in Serie A is already secured, but they’ll be eager to bounce back after their four-match unbeaten run was snapped by Scudetto winners Inter. Adrian Bernabé is out with a muscular injury, joining Gaetano Oristanio and Matija Frigan on the sidelines.

Parma boss Nesta Elphege is shaking things up, giving supersub Gabriel Strefezza a rare start alongside Mateo Pellegrino, who drops to the bench. The home side will rely on their solid defense led by Suzuki in goal, while Roma’s backline—featuring Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, and Hermoso—will need to stay sharp against Parma’s counterattacks.

With Dybala back in the mix and Roma’s top scorer Malen leading the line, this match promises plenty of drama. Can Roma keep the pressure on for a top-four finish, or will Parma spoil the party? Follow all the action as it unfolds!
