H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Roma Team Overview
🔴 Heading into the eighth round, Roma found themselves in a concerning situation. The team suffered three losses in four matches, including a setback in the Europa League against Viktoria (1-2), which increased the pressure on both the players and the coaching staff. Therefore, their away match against a confident-starting Sassuolo became a test of character for the "Giallorossi," and they passed it. Roma secured a victory in their signature style-winning 1-0 while maintaining full control of the game. By many statistical measures, including chances created (5 to 2), the result was well-deserved.
🟡 The three points were timely: with their rivals slipping up, the Romans climbed to second place in the table, amassing 18 points from a possible 24. Only Napoli sit above them, and only due to a superior goal difference.
Match Results: Roma
Parma Team Overview
🟡 Parma are struggling to find form lately. The team have failed to secure a victory in their last three matches and haven't scored a single goal during this stretch, despite facing opponents who aren't exactly top-tier. Their attacking woes have been evident since the start of the season: after eight rounds, the "Crusaders" have managed to score just three goals, the worst tally in the league.
🔵 In their last outing, Parma played out a goalless draw at home against Como (0-0). It's tough to draw clear conclusions from the match. The hosts deliberately relinquished possession (holding just 29%) and focused on a tight defensive setup, which helped them minimize threats to their goal. However, their attacking efforts were sporadic at best, despite creating a few potentially dangerous opportunities.

Latest news
Roma
📣 After their narrow 1-0 victory over Sassuolo, head coach Gian Piero Gasperini emphasized the significance of the result: "We secured an important win, and Dovbyk made a great impact off the bench. Against Parma, we must remain extremely focused." He also urged his team to maintain their concentration: "The victory is pleasing, but we need to keep our feet on the ground-there's still room for growth."
🚫 Roma's squad situation remains unchanged. Midfielder Edoardo Bove continues his recovery from heart issues and is sidelined indefinitely. Angeliño is undergoing rehabilitation following a viral infection and is expected to return in early November.
Parma
📣 Head coach Carlos Cuesta expressed his satisfaction with the team's organization in the match against Como (0-0): "I'm pleased; this is the right path. To win, it's not just about scoring, but also defending as a team-this is our style. Now we have a tough match ahead at the Olimpico."
🚫 Parma's injury list is more extensive. Pontus Almqvist and Gaetano Oristanio are dealing with muscle injuries and remain doubtful for the upcoming match. Emanuele Valeri is recovering from a thigh injury and is expected to return to the field in early November. Jakob Ondrejka faces a longer recovery, sidelined until mid-December, while Matija Frigan is undergoing rehabilitation after an ACL injury, with his return anticipated only by early March 2026.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
The upcoming match features teams with contrasting characteristics: Roma boast the best defense in the league, having conceded just 3 goals, while Parma struggle with one of the weakest attacks, netting only 3 goals. Moreover, the "Crusaders" have been toothless on the road, failing to score in any of their 4 away league matches. Given the significant difference in class, our bet is that Parma will not score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In head-to-head encounters against Roma, Parma are almost always pinned back, forced to play deep in defense, and rarely reach the opponent's penalty area. This directly affects their corner statistics: Parma have taken fewer than 3.5 corners in the last 6 meetings. The issues persist this season, with the team ranking among the worst in corners earned, averaging just 3.3 per match. Therefore, we are betting on this outcome.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Roma are clear favorites for the upcoming match, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. The team have started the season confidently, having left a brief slump behind them. The "Giallorossi" are rock-solid in defense, often needing just a single strike to secure three points. It's difficult to see how Parma could even hope for a draw on the road, especially given their struggles against teams like Lecce (0-1) and Cagliari (0-2). Our main bet is on a Roma victory. We expect to see a 2-0 scoreline on the board.
