Only 5 tries were scored in the two derbies of 12 months ago: 2 from Zebre and 3 from Treviso with the one made in Parma really essential for the away 10-3 win. There will be some changes this year: the first is the field reversal in the calendar schedule with the second leg due in Parma on the 4th of January 2014. The second, more important, is the brand new head coaches: Marius Goosen will earn his debut in this role tomorrow while former Treviso player Andrea Cavinato - born in Treviso- is the leader of the technical staff of the Parma based franchise.
There will be 6 Italian Internationals selected for last November test matches into Zebre starting line-up while in the 23 list of capped players, there are three former Treviso ones: starters Bergamasco and Garcia along with Toniolatti, ready to take the field starting from the replacements bench.
