Parma vs Udinese Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 28 October 2026
📢 How will the matchup between Parma and Udinese play out in matchday 9 of Serie A? The Stadio Ennio Tardini will host two sides who have had a very poor start to the new season, sit predictably in the lower reaches of the table and are badly in need of points. The match therefore carries particular importance for both teams: a win would not only improve their league position but also provide some much-needed confidence. Who will take advantage of the opponent's problems and take an important step out of their current difficulties?
Udinese hold a slight edge in the head-to-head meetings
📊 Over the last few years, Parma and Udinese have met 30 times, with the visitors holding a slight edge. Udinese have won 13 of those meetings, Parma 11, and 6 have ended in draws. Last season the two sides split the points on the road: Udinese won 2-0 at the Ennio Tardini, then Parma took revenge with a 1-0 win away from home.
Head-to-head statistics Parma - Udinese
A managerial change has done little to turn things around for Parma
Parma have made a dreadful start to the new Serie A season and are showing no signs of coming out of their slump. After eight rounds, the Crusaders have managed just four points and sit second from bottom in the table. Even a change of head coach has failed to produce the desired effect - if anything, results have got worse, with the new manager losing all three of his matches in charge.
In the previous round, Parma travelled to Lazio and, as expected, lost to one of the league's leading sides, going down 2-1. The scoreline, however, may give a misleading impression of how the game actually unfolded. Despite the narrow margin, the Crusaders had virtually no chance of even a draw. The Romans looked considerably stronger, controlled the match throughout and won it deservedly. Parma's only goal came deep into stoppage time and owed a great deal to fortune.

Udinese’s problems continue to mount
Udinese are going through a crisis no less serious than Parma's. After eight rounds, the Zebrette have just four points and sit 17th in the table, separated from the relegation zone only by goal difference. Like Parma, Udinese have lost three matches in a row and are showing no signs of improvement. The one significant difference is that the club's board have so far continued to back the coaching staff.
In the previous round, Udinese suffered another defeat, losing at home to Milan 0-2. Milan obviously have a considerably stronger squad, but even accounting for the gap in quality, more resistance might have been expected from the Zebrette - especially at home, where the crowd should have provided an additional advantage. In the event, Udinese had no answer to their opponents: Milan controlled the match throughout, created chances regularly and won deservedly. The expected goals figures are particularly telling - just 0.59 xG for the hosts against an impressive 2.77 for the visitors.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
Parma currently have the worst attack in Serie A: they have scored just five goals in eight rounds. On only one occasion during that period did they manage to score twice in a single match. The problem lies not only in finishing but also in creating chances. Udinese do concede a lot, it's true, but expecting a sudden breakthrough from the hosts while they are in this kind of crisis seems unwise. Our bet is Parma Team Total - Under 1.5 goals at 1.45*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Parma's home matches rarely feature a high number of corners. In 9 of their last 10 Serie A matches at home, there were no more than ten corners. Given both sides' attacking problems, we are not expecting an abundance of corners this time either. Our bet is Total Corners - Under 10.5 at 1.49*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Matches involving Udinese cannot be described as particularly rough: fewer than four yellow cards were shown in 9 of their last 10 matches. Parma, meanwhile, are playing without much intensity and rarely get involved in aggressive duels, and both sides are currently more focused on finding some confidence than on physical confrontation. Our bet is Total Yellow Cards - Under 3.5.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers make Udinese slight favourites for this match, and that assessment seems fair. Although the two sides are level on points, the visitors have the stronger squad. Parma have also got worse since changing their head coach, losing three matches in a row after the opening five rounds. Our main bet is therefore Udinese to win - Handicap (0). Predicted score: 1-2.
