Parma vs Verona Prediction 15 February 2026
📢 What to expect from the clash between Parma and Verona in the 25th round of Serie A? Both teams are navigating a challenging season. The "Crusaders" sit in 14th place with 26 points, while the "Mastiffs" are firmly anchored at the bottom of the standings. Points are crucial for both sides as they fight for survival, so the encounter at Ennio Tardini promises to be intense.
Head-to-Head
📊 Recent head-to-head clashes between Parma and Verona have favored the visitors: in nine encounters, the Mastiffs have claimed five victories, while the Crusaders have managed just two wins, with two matches ending in a draw. However, in the first round of the current season, it was Parma who came out on top (2-1), largely thanks to a brace from Mateo Pallegri, who was the key player in that match.
Head-to-head statistics Parma - Verona
Parma Team Overview
🟡 Parma haven't been frequent winners in this Serie A campaign, emerging victorious in just 6 of their 24 matches. Nevertheless, that's been enough to maintain a relatively comfortable 14th place. The Crusaders have accumulated 26 points, keeping them eight points clear of the relegation zone-a cushion that offers some breathing room, though it's too early to relax.
🔵 In the last round, Parma secured one of those rare but crucial results in the fight for survival. They visited Bologna and clinched a narrow 1-0 victory. However, the match itself was a mixed bag: the hosts were reduced to ten men as early as the 18th minute, yet they continued to control the game. The Crusaders netted the winning goal in the 90+5th minute with a stunning long-range strike, by which time both teams were playing with ten men each.
Match Results: Parma
Hellas Verona Team Overview
🔵 Verona have little reason for optimism. Sitting at the bottom of the standings with 15 points, they trail six points behind the crucial 17th spot. Their winless streak has stretched to nine matches, with the "Mastiffs" losing in six of those encounters.
🟡 In the last round, Verona had a genuine opportunity to break their prolonged slump as they hosted Pisa, who are level on points. However, the hosts delivered a lackluster performance: they were outshot 4-11 and managed only 0.07 xG compared to their opponent's 0.80. Given these stats, the goalless draw (0-0) should be seen as a favorable outcome rather than two points dropped.

Matija Frigan is set to return in early March.
Hellas Verona
📣 Verona's interim head coach Paolo Sammarco admitted the result was disappointing but praised the team's attitude: "Yes, obviously we're not satisfied with the result... The start was good, we wanted to play and compete. In the second half, we got a bit scared."
🚫 The Mastiffs are also facing a challenging situation with their lineup. Nicolas Valentini (physical discomfort), Antoine Bernede (hip injury), and Sandi Lovric (muscle injury) are doubtful for the match. Roberto Gagliardini (muscle injury) and Tomas Suslov are expected to return by the end of February after recovering from a cruciate ligament injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In the current Serie A campaign, Parma are showing a strikingly low goal-scoring rate, netting just 16 goals in 24 rounds, with only Lecce faring worse at 15. Notably, Parma have scored less than 1.5 goals in 12 of their last 13 matches. This will be the basis for our bet.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The "Mastiffs" rarely deliver high corner counts on the road-Verona have taken less than 4.5 corners in 7 of their last 8 away Serie A matches. Overall, their season statistics remain modest, with the team averaging just 3.8 corners per game. Considering these figures, we see no reason to expect a deviation from this trend in the upcoming match.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have Parma as slight favorites for the match, and there's reasoning behind that: Verona currently appear to be one of the main candidates for relegation. The "Mastiffs" are playing extremely uninspired football, struggling significantly in attack-they not only score infrequently but also create very few chances. Considering Parma themselves don't find the net often, our primary bet is on under 2.5 goals. We anticipate a 1-0 scoreline on the board.
