Parma vs Empoli prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 27, 2024
This Sunday, the Ennio Tardini Stadium will host the Serie A clash between Parma and Empoli, kicking off the day’s action. Here’s an expert prediction from the Dailysports team.
Parma
In their last match, Fabio Pecchia’s side drew 1-1 away to Como, scoring first but failing to hold their lead after conceding just before halftime. This extended their winless streak in the league to six games, consisting of three draws and three losses.
Despite often managing to find the net, Parma also frequently concedes, marking the seventh time this season they both scored and allowed a goal. They currently sit in 16th place alongside Monza, with only seven points. Parma’s home record remains concerning: they’ve suffered 13 defeats in their last 17 home Serie A matches and have allowed fewer than two goals in only three of these games.
Empoli
Roberto D’Aversa’s side suffered a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Napoli in the previous round, marking their second consecutive Serie A loss and dropping them to 10th place, tied with Roma.
On a positive note, Empoli's defensive strength stands out, as they’ve conceded just five goals over eight rounds, ranking second only to Juventus, who have allowed just one goal. Empoli has fought hard for points in every match, and impressively, they’ve avoided defeat in three out of four away games this season.
