Parma vs Venezia Prediction 19 January 2025

🔊 What can we expect from the upcoming match between Parma and Venezia? In the 21st round of Serie A, which will take place at the "Ennio Tardini", the "Crusaders" will try to strengthen their position in the standings, while the "Winged Lions" aim to move closer to the crucial 17th spot. Both teams are not in the best form, so anything can be expected from the upcoming game. In such a situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction.

📊 Head-to-Head

In head-to-head encounters, Parma has a noticeable advantage in results. Over a span of 18 matches, the "Crusaders" achieved a positive result in 10 instances, while Venezia won only 3 times. The game that took place on November 9th as part of the 12th round of Serie A also ended in success for Fabio Pecchia's team. Parma won away with a score of 2-1.

⚫ Parma

The victory over Monza at the end of December (2-1) slightly postponed Fabio Pecchia's dismissal as head coach of Parma. However, it seems his time in this position is coming to an end. The team is showing extremely weak play, and the last matches have left many questions. If in the match against Torino (0-0) the "Crusaders" managed to avoid defeat thanks to their goalkeeper's excellent performance on the goal line, then in the previous round against Genoa (0-1), even Zion Suzuki couldn't save his teammates. For 90 minutes, Parma failed to create any dangerous moments at the opponent's goal, and according to the xG metric, they only played for 0.30 goals. As for the upcoming match, the coaching staff still cannot count on 6 players, including Gabriel Charpentier.

🟠 Venezia

Venezia, occupying the penultimate place in the Serie A standings, showed more acceptable results in recent matches than Parma. The team could not avoid defeat in only 2 out of 6 games, and they lost to very serious opponents - Napoli (0-1) and Inter (0-1). In the previous round, the "Winged Lions" faced the current champion of Italy away and left only positive impressions with their play. Yes, only 7 shots and 0.36 xG over 90 minutes of playtime, but Venezia also kept Inter away from Filip Stankovic's goal. Regarding the upcoming match, Eusebio Di Francesco will be unable to rely on only 3 players, including Francesco Zampano.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals

As we have noted, Parma is in terrible form. The team not only fails to gain points but also barely scores. In 3 out of their last 4 matches, the "Crusaders" failed to hit the opponent's net. The only exception was against Monza (2-1), who are at the bottom of the Serie A standings. Considering that total under (2.5) came through in Venezia's previous 3 games, this will be our betting option.

🚩 Prediction on Corners

For Venezia, it is not new to occupy the last positions in various statistical parameters. The team does not stand out in terms of corners either. The "Winged Lions" earn an average of 3.4 set-pieces at their opponents' goals, which is the worst indicator in Serie A. In away matches, these numbers are even lower. In such a situation, one can bet on Venezia's total corners under (4.5).

📝 Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Parma is the favorite for the upcoming match. But what criteria influenced their decision to set such odds? When comparing the current form of both teams, it seems that Venezia should be considered the favorite. Parma shows no creativity in attacking actions, makes numerous defensive errors, and gains points mainly thanks to their excellent goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. Venezia, on the other hand, is on a roll; even Napoli and Inter, who are main contenders for the title, struggled to score just one goal each. We wouldn't be surprised if the match ends, for example, with a score of 0-1. However, we will take a more reliable bet to minimize risks - Venezia will not lose.
