Parma vs Roma Prediction
🔊 What are the expectations for the upcoming clash between Parma and Roma? In fact, the game looks quite unpredictable. While the "Crusaders" have performed poorly in recent matches, securing only 2 points out of a possible 18, Claudio Ranieri's team has struggled to win away games this season. In this case, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the 25th Serie A matchday, which will take place at the "Ennio Tardini".
Head-to-Head
In head-to-head encounters, Roma undoubtedly dominates. Over a span of 11 matches, Parma has achieved a positive result only 2 times, while the team has suffered as many as 7 defeats. Even a draw is rarely recorded in their meetings (2). Moreover, the "Giallorossi," whose play raises many questions this season, managed to thrash their opponent by a 5-goal difference (5-0) in the first round.

Parma Team Overview
It is hard for Parma fans to watch the results of their favorite club without tears. The team has not only failed to secure a victory for 6 matches, but has also found itself in the relegation zone. During this period, the "Crusaders" have suffered several defeats, including against direct competitors for survival. On February 9th, for example, Parma lost to Cagliari with a score of 1-2, showing a frankly weak performance. In 90 minutes, Fabio Pecchia's team managed to make only 1 shot on goal, which turned out to be the only successful one. Therefore, it would not be surprising if the current coaching staff is dismissed in the near future. As for the upcoming match, the participation of 9 players is in question, including key forward Milan Djuric and defender Lautaro Valenti.

Roma Team Overview
Roma has shown more acceptable results in recent matches compared to Parma. The team is gradually starting to gain the stability that was lacking throughout the first half of the current season. Over a span of 6 games, "the She-wolf" suffered only one defeat, which was recorded in the Italian Cup. Recently, Claudio Ranieri's squad managed to draw away against Porto (1-1), significantly increasing their chances of advancing to the next round of the Europa League. Moreover, Roma looked much better than their opponent in terms of gameplay (3-2 in created scoring chances, 1.29-0.75 in xG), although this season they rarely show decent football on away fields. Regarding the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to rely on 4 players, including Bryan Cristante (suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards) and Devyne Rensch (injury).

⚽️ Goal Prediction
Overall, Parma has no issues breaking through opponents' defenses. Yes, the team hasn't ended a game in their favor for quite some time, but they consistently score goals. For instance, in the last 4 matches, the "Crusaders" have scored at least once against their opponents. Milan even suffered twice at the hands of Fabio Pecchia's squad (2-3), despite playing at home. In this situation, a bet on a Parma goal could be made.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The only statistical indicator where Parma shows fairly high numbers is corners. The team averages 5.1 corner kicks per game (sixth place in Serie A). Considering that Roma is not a big fan of set pieces (4.0 corners), our main betting option will be a Parma win on corners with a handicap (+2.5).
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers are confident that in the upcoming matchup, Roma will prove to be stronger. However, this opinion is very debatable for several reasons. Yes, the team has started playing much better compared to the beginning of the season, but they still rarely delight their fans with away victories. Only Udinese (1-2) and Venezia (0-1) have suffered from the "she-wolf" on their home ground. Moreover, Roma is very likely to field a reserve lineup. Currently, the Europa League is the only tournament where they can win a trophy. Claudio Ranieri may well sacrifice the championship, where the team is in the middle of the standings, to give rest to his leaders before the return leg against Porto. Therefore, our key betting option is Parma will not lose. We believe that after 90 minutes, the scoreboard will show a score of 1-1.
