On Sunday, April 13, 2025, the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence will host the 32nd round Serie A match, where Fiorentina will face Parma. The match will kick off at 3:00 PM Central European Time. This game holds immense significance for both teams. Fiorentina is eager to solidify their position at the top of the table, while Parma is desperately fighting for survival. It's worth considering a bet on the winner for this encounter.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina approaches the match in high spirits after a victory in the first quarter-final of the Conference League, where they triumphed over Slovenian club Celje with a score of 2-1.
The team is in excellent form. In the last five matches across all competitions, Fiorentina has achieved four wins and one draw. In recent Serie A rounds, they have confidently defeated Juventus 3-0, Atalanta 1-0, and drew 2-2 with Milan. After 31 matches, the team has accumulated 52 points, placing them 8th in the standings, and they remain contenders for European competition spots, being just 5 points away from the Champions League zone.
Fiorentina's exceptional home performance is particularly noteworthy. On their own turf, the team feels confident, having secured 10 wins in 15 matches, ranking them 4th in Serie A in this regard.
Fiorentina will be without Robin Gosens and Andrea Colpani due to injuries.
Parma
Parma is in a difficult situation and faces serious challenges this season. The team hasn't won in the last five matches, ending four in draws and suffering one defeat. In their last match against Inter, played at home, the Parmesans showed character by coming back from 0-2 to draw 2-2.
The away form is particularly problematic. Out of 15 away matches, Parma has managed only one victory, one of the worst records in the league.
Currently, the team sits 16th in the Serie A table with 27 points. They are only 3 points ahead of the teams in the relegation zone and will be forced to fight in every match to retain their elite status.
