Parma – Udinese: match preview
Parma sit near the foot of the table and, in reality, are already locked in a relegation battle. They have collected 11 points from 12 rounds, and their cushion above the drop zone is just three points. Yet their recent form has been promising: a 2–2 draw with Milan followed by back-to-back wins. The team’s major issue remains the attack—just nine goals scored, the third-worst tally in the league.
Udinese are higher in the standings and could even entertain hopes of a European push. That said, such an objective will be difficult to achieve, but a solid mid-table finish is both realistic and attainable. After 12 matches, they’ve earned 15 points, sitting seven clear of relegation and six off the European spots. However, their last match ended in a heavy 0–3 home defeat to Bologna. The defence has been leaking goals at an alarming rate: 20 conceded in 12 games, the second-worst record in Serie A.
Probable line-ups
- Parma: Guaita; Delprato, Troilo, Valenti; Britschgi, Bernabé, Keita, Sørensen, Valeri; Cutrone, Pellegrino
- Udinese: Okoye; Bertola, Kabasele, Solet; Zanoli, Ekkelenkamp, Karlström, Atta, Kamara; Zaniolo, Davis
Prediction
We can expect an intriguing contest between two sides battling for mid-table positions. It will be a tense affair, and my recommended bet is over 2 total goals.
