Torino vs Parma Prediction

🔊 Will Torino be able to confirm their status as favorites in the upcoming clash? On Sunday, at the "Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino," Paolo Vanoli's team will face Parma in the 19th round of Serie A. Despite the fact that the "Crusaders" have stopped showing their best game and started to falter in defense, they continue to stay afloat. Last weekend, for example, the team defeated Monza with a score of 2-1. We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet.

📊 Head-to-Head

In head-to-head encounters, Parma holds the advantage in results. Over a span of 26 matches, Torino has recorded 6 victories, while the "Crusaders" have defeated their opponent 13 times. However, when choosing a bet, it is not advisable to place too much emphasis on the results of these games, considering that the last meeting took place back in 2021. Much has changed since then, including the ambitions and lineups of the teams.

🐂 Torino

The outcomes of Torino's recent matches can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, the team has suffered only 2 losses in the last 6 matches. On the other hand, during the same period, they have achieved only 1 victory. Nevertheless, after a long series of setbacks, any points gained will be a good support for Paolo Vanoli's team. In the previous round, for instance, the "Bulls" drew away against Udinese (2-2), showing character by coming back from 0-2 in the middle of the second half. A strong point of this Torino is that the team can score from any position. In the match against the "Little Zebras," they didn't create a single goal-scoring opportunity at the opponent's goal (statistically), yet they scored 2 goals. And let's not forget about the goal from midfield against Empoli (1-0). As for the upcoming clash, the participation of as many as 5 players is in doubt, including main defender Sebastian Walukiewicz.

⚪ Parma

Despite December not being the most successful month for Parma, the team managed to end 2024 on a high note. After a crushing defeat by Roma (0-5), the "Crusaders" did not fall apart and secured a very important victory over Monza, a direct competitor for survival (2-1). However, it must be admitted that Parma did not deserve these 3 points. Playing with a numerical advantage from the 58th minute and earning a penalty, the team created far fewer dangerous moments at the opponent's goal than the "Brianzoli" (1-5). Fabio Pecchia is still holding his position as head coach, but a couple more unsuccessful games could lead to his dismissal. In the upcoming clash, however, the "Crusaders" will be without 9 players, including Gabriel Charpentier, Enrico Del Prato, and Hernani.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Despite 4 goals being scored in Torino's last match (2-2 with Udinese), don't expect a large number of goals in the upcoming clash. Such games involving the "Bulls" are quite rare. For instance, in 9 out of their last 10 matches, a total under 3 goals bet was successful, and in 6 cases, no more than one goal was scored. Considering Parma's current form, this betting option could once again prove profitable.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Torino, advocating defensive football, continues to rank among the lowest in Serie A for corners earned. The team approaches the corner flag an average of 3.8 times per game, with only Lecce (3.6) and Venezia (3.4) having worse statistics. In their last match against Udinese (2-2), the "Bulls" delivered exactly 3 corners. Therefore, our betting option is Torino total corners under 5.5.

📝 Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Torino should easily secure 3 points in the upcoming clash. Despite Parma's terrible condition, we disagree with this thesis. Firstly, the actions of the "Bulls" on the field do not inspire confidence. The Turin side has not only become fixated on defensive play and started scoring much less frequently but also the effectiveness of such football has decreased. Since September 24th, the team has participated in 14 matches and achieved only 2 victories with 9 losses. Secondly, Parma's goal is guarded by a very reliable goalkeeper. In the match against Monza (2-1), Zion Suzuki repeatedly corrected his defenders' mistakes by making three excellent saves and securing an important victory for the "Crusaders." The most obvious betting option is total goals under 3. If the hosts do win, it will likely be by a maximum score of 1-0.
