Head-to-head statistics Parma - Torino
Parma are still searching for a way out of their disappointing start to the season
Parma have made a very poor start to the new season. After six rounds they sit in the relegation zone with four points, and the results have been disappointing enough for the club's board to decide on a managerial change at such an early stage of the campaign. Carlos Cuesta left his post during the international break and was replaced by Alberto Gilardino. The new head coach is expected above all to improve the quality of play and bring some stability to results, given that Parma clearly cannot afford to let the crisis drag on. However, the early impressions of the Italian coach's work are not particularly encouraging so far.
In the previous round, the Crusaders travelled to the reigning Italian champions and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat. All questions about the outcome were settled as early as the 31st minute, by which point Inter had already put three unanswered goals past the visitors. Parma were completely unable to cope with their opponents' attacking pressure. What made it especially painful for supporters was that the Milan club achieved such a convincing win even with some rotation in their squad.
Match Results: Parma
Torino remain inconsistent, but their overall quality of play continues to improve
Torino have also struggled for consistency so far. They have been alternating between good results and poor ones, which has prevented them from establishing themselves in the top half of the table. After six rounds, the Bulls have seven points and sit 12th in Serie A. Unlike Parma, though, they go into this match in good spirits.
In the previous round, Torino claimed a hugely important win, beating Udinese 2-1 at home. The victory was particularly valuable given their inconsistent results beforehand. Torino made good use of their opponents' weaknesses and got the result they wanted despite spending most of the match without the ball - 38% possession against 62%. Udinese's territorial dominance brought them very little, however. Torino were far more dangerous in the final third, creating four clear-cut chances to their opponents' none. The expected goals figures also back up the hosts' superiority: 1.72 xG against 0.76.

Torino

🔁 Update - 19 October, 13:48 UTC:
- Ignazio Abate will be forced to make changes in midfield due to Ilhan's injury. According to Sky Sport Italia, Daniele Bragança will partner Rolando Mandragora, though the main option from the bench will be a more nominal central midfielder rather than a holding midfielder in Cesare Casadei.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Torino are slight favourites for this match, and that assessment looks reasonable. The main reason is Parma's very poor start to the season - the side are struggling badly to create chances and have the worst attack in Serie A. Even the change of head coach has so far failed to help the Crusaders turn things around. We expect the hosts to set up defensively. That said, Torino are unlikely to throw caution to the wind away from home either, particularly given their inconsistent results. There is therefore little reason to expect a high-scoring contest. Our main bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score: 0-1.
