Verona vs Parma Prediction 23 November 2025
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Verona and Parma in the 12th round of Serie A? At the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium, two teams hovering around the relegation zone will face off, both eager to climb out of the lower part of the table. For both sides, this is a crucial match-not only a chance to secure much-needed points but also an opportunity to leave a direct rival empty-handed. The stakes are high in such encounters.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the past few years, Verona and Parma have clashed only 8 times, with the "Mastiffs" holding the upper hand: 5 wins against 1, with 2 matches ending in a draw. Last season, the teams delivered two distinctly different encounters. In the first round, fans witnessed a thrilling shootout as Verona secured a 3-2 away victory, while their second-round meeting ended in a goalless draw (0-0).
Head-to-head statistics Verona - Parma
Hellas Verona Team Overview
🔵 The question of what's happening with Verona this season remains unanswered. After 11 rounds, the team is yet to taste victory, having accumulated just 6 points and sitting second from bottom in the table. Their goal difference is among the worst in the league at -10, highlighting systemic issues across all areas.
🟡 In their last match before the international break, Verona played out a goalless draw away to Lecce, who are also struggling to collect points. Unsurprisingly, the game offered little joy for the "Mastiffs" fans: over 90 minutes, the visitors managed just five shots towards goal and once again appeared lackluster in attack. If the team hopes to retain their Serie A status, they need to be more aggressive, especially in matches against direct rivals.

Parma Team Overview
🟡 Parma are also experiencing a tough stretch, much like Verona, with lackluster performances. In the current Serie A campaign, they've managed just one victory, defeating Torino (2-1) at the end of September. The Crusaders are currently on a six-match winless streak, excluding a friendly win against Mantova (2-1) during the November international break. In the league standings, Parma sit in 17th place, just one point above the relegation zone.
🔵 Against this backdrop, their 2-2 draw with Milan in the previous round feels like a miracle. Despite being underdogs and trailing 0-2 by the 25th minute, the team showed resilience to salvage a point. Moreover, throughout the match, the Crusaders held their own and even outshot their opponents (14 to 10). This result might just be the catalyst Parma need to pull themselves out of their slump.

Latest news
Hellas Verona
📣 Verona's head coach Paolo Zanetti, following the goalless draw with Lecce (0-0), praised his team's fighting spirit: "In terms of quality, we were lacking something, but we earned a point thanks to our right mindset. We battled for every ball in a tough, physical match. We stayed in the game until the very end, on a challenging pitch, and now we look forward."
🚫 Verona continue to have squad issues. Tomas Suslov is sidelined for an extended period due to a cruciate ligament injury, with his return expected only by the end of February 2026. Jellu Santiago and Suat Serdar are not expected back until early December as they recover from a muscle injury and a knee issue, respectively. Daniel Oyegoke's participation remains doubtful as he continues his recovery from a muscle injury.
Parma
📣 Parma's head coach Carlos Cuesta commended his team for their resilience after a thrilling 2-2 draw with AC Milan: "We pushed for the win until the very end - this team knows how to respond in tough situations. It's not easy to regroup when you're trailing Milan by two goals... This is the path we need to keep following." He also pointed out some defensive shortcomings: "We suffered from two counterattacks in the first half - we needed to stop them earlier. We must do everything possible to win, while maintaining our balance."
🚫 Parma are dealing with a lengthy injury list. Matija Frigan is sidelined until early March with an ACL injury. First-choice goalkeeper Zion Suzuki is out until late February due to a broken hand. Several players are expected to return by early December: Abdoulaye N'Diaye (muscle injury), Alessandro Circati (ankle sprain), and Nahuel Estevez (groin injury). The participation of Gaetano Oristanio and Pontus Almqvist remains doubtful due to muscle issues.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
One of the main reasons Verona and Parma find themselves languishing at the bottom of the league table is their lackluster attacking play, or rather, the complete absence of it. Both teams rarely penetrate the opponent's penalty area, take few shots on goal, and consequently score hardly any goals. Currently, they are the two lowest-scoring teams in Serie A, with Parma netting just 7 times and Verona only 6. It's unlikely their head-to-head clash will be a goal fest. Our prediction is under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Corners are another statistical indicator that highlights the passive play of Verona and Parma this season. The "Crusaders" average just 3.0 corners per match, placing them 17th in Serie A. The "Mastiffs" aren't much better, averaging 3.8 corners and sitting in 14th place. With both teams playing so cautiously, it's unlikely we'll see a deviation from these numbers, so we're betting on under 9.5 corners.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have Verona pegged as slight favorites for the upcoming match, but this is a tough call to agree with. While Parma have been inconsistent, the hosts are still searching for their first win of the season. The "Crusaders" have shown they can rise to the occasion, evident from their draws against Milan (2-2), Como (0-0), and Atalanta (1-1). Therefore, our main bet is on Parma not to lose. We anticipate a 1-1 scoreline on the board.
