Latest news
Empoli
In the 35th round of Serie A, Empoli fell to Lazio at home with a narrow 0-1 defeat. Boulaye Dia capitalized on a defensive error to score in the opening minute. The hosts were reduced to ten men in the 21st minute when Lorenzo Colombo received a straight red card. Towards the end of the match, Lazio also went down to ten players as Hysaj was sent off for a second booking. In the second half, the "Blues" created several dangerous chances but couldn't beat the Roman goalkeeper. Head coach Roberto D'Aversa emphasized after the match that the early goal conceded and the controversial sending-off significantly impacted the game. However, he noted that the team showed character in the second half, withstood the pressure, and demonstrated their readiness to fight until the end.
Regarding the squad, the situation is extremely tense: the team has lost six players, most of whom are out for an extended period. The absences of Christian Kouamé, Nicolas Haas, Pietro Pellegri, and Saba Sazonov are particularly felt, as they are all recovering from severe cruciate ligament injuries. Additionally, Szymon Żurkowski and Youssef Maleh remain sidelined until early summer.
Parma
In the previous round, Parma fell to Como at home in a tightly contested match (0-1). The hosts threatened the opponent's goal several times, with Pellegrino even hitting the post. However, in the 79th minute, Anastasios Douvikas delivered a precise pass to Gabriel Strefezza, who slotted the ball into the net from close range. After the final whistle, head coach Cristian Chivu noted that the team fought until the end and showed character. He didn't dramatize the defeat, emphasizing that the players maintained their pace and created several chances.
Parma are facing significant squad issues, with nine players currently sidelined due to injuries. Mateusz Kowalski and Gabriel Charpentier, along with Adrian Bernabe, Valentin Mihaila, and Yordan Osorio, are expected to be out for an extended period. Meanwhile, most of the remaining players (Cancelleri, Esteves, Almqvist, Volyaakko) are also ruled out at least until the end of May.
⚽️Goal Prediction
Empoli are in undeniably poor form: the team haven't secured a win in recent rounds and have failed to score in six matches. Their attack looks lackluster and doesn't apply enough pressure on the opposition's goal. Meanwhile, Parma are on a good run, especially defensively - they haven't conceded against Juventus (1-0) or Fiorentina (0-0) in recent rounds, showcasing reliability and discipline at the back. Given the hosts' low scoring rate and the visitors' strong defense, we predict Empoli to score under 1.5 goals.
🚩Corner Prediction
Empoli average 4.2 corners per match, ranking only 14th in Serie A for this metric. Parma are slightly better, with 4.5 corners per game, placing them 11th. Both teams aren't particularly aggressive in front of goal, especially when it comes to wing play. Additionally, Empoli's matches have seen under 10.5 corners in 10 consecutive league games, highlighting their conservative style of play. Based on these numbers, we bet on total corners under 10.5.
Editor's Prediction
Both teams find themselves in the lower echelons of the table, locked in a fierce battle to remain in the top flight, which could lead to a cautious approach in this matchup. When it comes to corners, both sides have shown remarkably restrained statistics. Empoli have failed to hit the over on 11 corners for ten consecutive matches, including their last eight home games. Parma follow a similar pattern, with six of their last seven matches also featuring no more than ten corners. Given these trends, a bet on under 10.5 corners seems like a reasonable prediction.No comments
