Walter Mazzarri seems to have shored up his bench after a run of poor results, although the performances in 1-0 wins over Cesena and Sampdoria” data-scaytid=”6″>Sampdoria were far from convincing.
Both ties were decided by Mauro Icardi penalties and he starts again with Rodrigo Palacio, who is yet to score this season.
Hernanes is a late addition to the injury list with Daniel Osvaldo, Fredy Guarin, Yann M’Vila, Danilo D’Ambrosio, Jonathan, Yuto Nagatomo and Hugo Campagnaro.
Zdravko Kuzmanovic steps into midfield for Hernanes.
Parma are bottom of the table with six consecutive defeats and one more would represent a new club record in Serie A.
Roberto Donadoni is clinging on and has an injury crisis to deal with, as Jonathan Biabiany, Gabriel Paletta, Mattia Cassani, Nicola Pozzi, Cristobal Jorquera, Daniele Galloppa, Marijan Coric and Soufiane Bidaoui are all sidelined.
Second choice goalkeeper Alex Cordaz begins a two-match ban after he was sent off from the bench for dissent.
At least captain Alessandro Lucarelli returns from suspension to bolster the defence.
It is a special game for Cassano, a former Inter player and someone who worked with Walter Mazzarri at Sampdoria.
