One of the matches in the 16th round of the Italian Championship will take place on Sunday at the Ennio Tardini stadium, where Parma will host Verona. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
The Crusaders continue their uncompromising run in Serie A, extending it to five matches (2 wins, 3 losses). The team faced Inter away and lost 1-3. Defensive issues remain a key concern as the club has failed to keep a clean sheet in the last eight consecutive Serie A matches.
It is worth noting that matches involving the "Yellow-Blues" have traditionally been among the highest-scoring in Serie A this season, averaging 3.1 goals per game. Only Verona, Atalanta, and Inter have a higher average. In the Serie A standings, the team occupies 13th place, with only a 3-point advantage over the relegation zone.
Verona continues its dismal run, suffering a fourth consecutive loss in Serie A with a heavy 1-4 defeat to Empoli. This marks the longest negative streak for the club this season. Notably, the "Yellow-Blues" are the only team in the league yet to have a draw this season (4 wins, 11 losses).
Moreover, Verona has the weakest defense in Serie A, having conceded 37 goals in 15 matches. Currently, they are in the relegation zone, occupying 18th place in the standings. With only 12 points from 15 games, Verona is just separated from Como and the crucial 17th place by a worse goal difference.
Probable line-ups
- Parma: Suzuki, Del Prato, Haynat, Balog, Koulibaly, Keita, Garcia, Man, Som, Michaele, Bonni
