Serie B: Parma defeats Spezia, Serie A is close. As more and more second

Leaders Parma (69 points) beat Spezia (35), who had been unbeaten for 5 days, 2-0 at the Tardini, regained the 3 points and temporarily increased their lead over third-placed Cremonese to 10 points. Pecchia’s team prevailed with a goal in each half: Hernani in the first, Charpentier in the second. Immediately behind the Emilians is Como (64) who, with the usual Gabrielloni and Da Cunha (scored as a duo for the third consecutive time, ndr), beats Bari (35) who are increasingly in crisis. For the Apulians the only flash came from Puscas, but by then it was too late.

Second knockout in a row for Cremonese

Second consecutive collapse at home for Cremonese (59) who also lost to Ternana (36) after losing against Feralpisalò. In full recovery Distefano scored the winning goal for the Umbrians who, after having equalized Tsadjout’s initial goal with Favilli, took home the full spoils. Tutino responds from a penalty to Buttaro in Marulla’s 1-1 draw between Viali’s Cosenza (36) and Mignani’s Palermo (51).

Sampdoria falls, Pisa -1 from the playoff zone

Sudtirol (42) passes to Ferraris against Sampdoria (44) thanks to a flash from Tait. Pisa (43) beats FeralpiSalò (31) 3-1, and moves into ninth place, -1 from the play-off zone. The stars of the match for the Nerazzurri were Valoti, who scored a brace, and Arena. Dubickas’s outburst is not enough for the Lombards. A goalless draw between Cittadella (43) and Ascoli (33) that pleases no one, while Lecco (26) wins their first victory of 2024 by overcoming Reggiana (40) 1-0 thanks to Ionita. The Venice-Brescia round will close on Sunday (4.15 pm).

Modena, Bisoli new coach

Meanwhile, Modena (39) has decided to replace Paolo Bianco, sacked after the 1-3 home defeat against Catanzaro (55), with Pierpaolo Bisoli. The former Sudtirol coach will lead his first training session on Sunday ahead of next Saturday’s debut in Ascoli. During the day, sporting director Vaira had also met Moreno Longo, then choosing Bisoli who signed until June 2025, before having terminated his contract with Sudtirol (expiring in a year).
