Parma Team Overview
🟡 Parma's season opener has been anything but convincing. With just one win in seven matches, six points earned, and a mere 15th place in the standings, the team's performance is far from what was expected. The attack is particularly problematic: scoring only three goals makes the Crusaders' offense one of the worst in the league.
🔵 The last round only highlighted their struggles on the pitch. Playing away against Genoa, Parma barely managed to hold onto a goalless draw (0-0). The team registered just one shot towards the goal over 90 minutes, while their opponents had 23 attempts. Yes, the Crusaders were down to ten men following a first-half red card, but even before that, they looked passive and uninspired. Essentially, this draw felt like a victory in terms of result, but the gameplay was alarming, especially considering Genoa are also in the relegation zone and facing their own crisis.

Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 Como, who solidified their position in mid-table last season, are now setting their sights higher, aiming for European competition spots. Their start to the league campaign backs up these ambitions: after seven rounds, the Larians sit in the top six, with just one loss and 12 points, maintaining an unbeaten streak that stretches nearly two months.
⚪ In the last round, Como made a strong impression with a commanding 2-0 victory over Juventus. While the Old Lady has noticeably slowed down recently, they remain a giant in Italian football with one of the strongest squads globally. However, the Larians showcased mature and balanced football, clinically converting both their chances. Nico Paz shone once again, contributing to both goals (1 goal, 1 assist), further cementing his status as a key player for the team.

Latest news
Parma
📣 Parma head coach Carlos Cuesta, following a goalless draw with Genoa (0-0), expressed his satisfaction with the team's unity: "I'm proud of the team-we were united not just on the pitch but also on the bench... We played in a 4-4-2 formation for the first time, and like anything new, it takes time. In the first half, we controlled the game better." However, Cuesta emphasized that the team needs to improve offensively: "We're pleased with this point, but we need to create more chances and finally start scoring."
🚫 Parma still cannot count on several players. Defender Abdoulaye N'Diaye will miss the upcoming match due to a suspension after receiving a red card in the last round. Emanuele Valeri is recovering from a thigh injury and is expected back by early November. Gaetano Oristanio is dealing with a muscle issue and remains doubtful for the upcoming game. Jakob Ondrejka faces a longer absence, sidelined until mid-December, while Matija Frigan, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury, is scheduled to return by early March 2026.
Como 1907
📣 Como's head coach Cesc Fabregas couldn't hide his emotions after their 2-0 victory over Juventus: “I can only say one thing - I am incredibly proud of the team. Everyone saw what we achieved: some played for a minute, others for twenty - but it's the winning mentality that makes the difference.”
🚫 Como are also dealing with several absences. Defender Alberto Dossena is still recovering from an ACL injury and is expected to return by early November. Sergi Roberto's participation is doubtful as he undergoes treatment for a muscle injury. Jayden Addai is also on the mend from a muscle issue and should be ready around the same time as Dossena. In the attacking line, Jesus Rodriguez remains unavailable as he serves a suspension for a red card received in one of the previous rounds.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Parma have noticeably lost their attacking edge following Ange-Yoan Bonny's transfer to Inter. The team creates minimal chances, and their finishing leaves much to be desired. They've scored just 3 goals in the league, one of the worst records, only better than Verona. Como, on the other hand, are organized and confident defensively; even Juventus, with their formidable attack, couldn't break through the "Larians" (2-0). Against this backdrop, betting on Parma not to score seems logical and statistically justified.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Given their attacking struggles, it's no surprise that Parma rank among the worst in Serie A for corners won-averaging just 3.3 per match. The team rarely sustains prolonged periods of positional pressure and often finds themselves on the defensive. In the upcoming clash with Como, they are likely to play reactively once again. Under these conditions, betting on Parma's total corners to be under 4.5 appears highly reasonable.
Editorial Prediction
Como are rightly viewed as the favorites for the upcoming clash, with the odds for an away win steadily decreasing. At present, the teams appear to be on different levels: Parma only occasionally pick up points, mostly due to luck, while the "Lariana" are gradually hitting their stride. Cesc Fabregas's squad displays a balanced approach in both attack and defense, confidently handling even more prestigious opponents. A bet on Como to win with a handicap (0) seems like the optimal choice to minimize risk. We anticipate a 0-1 scoreline on the board.
