Atalanta vs Parma Prediction 25 January 2026
📢 What scenario will unfold in the clash between Atalanta and Parma in Serie A's 22nd round? Following changes in their coaching staff, the "Queen of the Provinces" have transformed and almost stopped slipping up, especially at Gewiss Stadium. However, Parma have also been impressive recently, losing just one of their last six matches. Atalanta are fighting for a Champions League spot, while the "Crusaders" are battling to stay in the top flight-both teams desperately need points, and there will be no indifference on the pitch.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Atalanta and Parma over recent years includes 29 matches, with the Bergamo side holding the advantage: 15 wins, 7 draws, and 7 victories for the "Crusaders." In the first-round game of the current season, the "Queen of the Provincial Clubs," still under their former coaching staff, couldn't secure a win and settled for a draw (1-1).
Head-to-head statistics Atalanta - Parma
Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 Just a week ago, Atalanta were the toast of the town, steamrolling opponents and rarely settling for even a draw. However, their last two matches have brought back memories of the Ivan Jurić era. On January 16, the Bergamo side couldn't overcome Pisa (1-1), who sit 19th in the standings, and they looked noticeably inferior on the pitch. Then, on January 21, in a Champions League fixture, Atalanta surprisingly fell at home to Athletic Bilbao (2-3), a team struggling with poor form.
⚫ In the Serie A standings, the "Queen of the Provinces" still hold the seventh spot with 32 points. However, the slip-up against Pisa was costly: their gap from the top four was already significant and has now widened to ten points. Atalanta find themselves in a precarious position where they cannot afford to drop points, especially against teams like Pisa.

Parma Team Overview
🟡 Parma approach their upcoming clash in high spirits. Over their last six matches, they've suffered just one defeat and secured two victories. This positive run has significantly boosted the Crusaders' standing in the table-after 21 rounds, they sit in 13th place with 23 points, extending their cushion from the relegation zone to six points.
🔵 Last weekend, Parma hosted Genoa (0-0), a direct rival in the battle for survival. The Crusaders didn't showcase the most thrilling football, but that's a familiar story for them. They played cautiously and didn't push the pace, signaling that a draw was an acceptable result for them in such a crucial matchup.

Latest news
Atalanta
📣 Atalanta's head coach Raffaele Palladino expressed his disappointment after the dramatic 3-2 loss to Athletic: "It's really hard to explain a game like this. We played a perfect first half and could have been up 2-0, but their goal was a blow to us: in 15 minutes, we had a complete blackout and conceded goals we normally wouldn't. That's how it is in the Champions League - you need to be more mature on the pitch, or you'll be punished. This shouldn't affect us in the league: our goal remains the same - qualifying for European competitions, team growth, and learning to react differently in tough situations."
🚫 The Bergamaschi face the upcoming match with a few squad issues. Raoul Bellanova is still recovering from a hamstring injury and aims to return at the beginning of February. Mitchel Bakker has returned to training after an ACL tear and is gradually regaining fitness, but he's not yet at his best.
Parma
📣 Parma's head coach Carlos Cuesta expressed his satisfaction with securing a point in the goalless draw against Genoa: "We value this point; it was earned in a tough and evenly matched game, marking our fifth in the last fifteen days. The players gave their all. When fatigue sets in, clarity can sometimes be lacking, but I want to highlight their commitment and discipline. The human value of these players is immense, and witnessing how much they give for this jersey is truly a pleasure."
🚫 The visitors face a more challenging personnel situation. Goalkeepers Vicente Guaita and Zion Suzuki are still undergoing treatment and aim to return by early to mid-February. Abdoulaye N'Diaye remains sidelined due to a muscle injury. Pontus Almqvist is also expected back on the pitch no sooner than February. Meanwhile, Matija Frigan will only be ready closer to March after recovering from a cruciate ligament tear.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Atalanta's home games rarely turn into high-scoring affairs: the under 3.5 goals bet has hit in 12 of their last 14 matches in Bergamo. In the upcoming match, Parma are likely to focus on a solid defense and play with maximum caution, aiming to slow down the pace and "dry up" the game. With this scenario, a flurry of goals seems unlikely.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Head-to-head encounters between Atalanta and Parma usually follow a familiar pattern: Atalanta dominate possession and dictate the play, while the "Crusaders" sit deep in defense, relying on rare counterattacks. In such setups, Parma barely reach the corner flag - the under 3.5 corners for the visitors has occurred in 6 of the last 7 Serie A meetings between these teams. We don't expect any exceptions in the upcoming clash.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Atalanta are the clear favorites in the upcoming clash, but it won't be an easy ride for them. Parma employ a style that is notoriously difficult for many opponents, prioritizing a solid defense above all else. The Crusaders last conceded more than two goals back in early November when they fell to Bologna with a score of 3-1 (having been reduced to ten men midway through the first half). In their last two matches, Parma have kept clean sheets, including a trip to Napoli that ended in a goalless draw (0-0). In this context, it makes sense to consider Atalanta scoring under 2.5 goals - this betting option has been successful in Atalanta's last 17 Serie A games. We anticipate seeing a 1-0 scoreline on the board.
