Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Parma in 10th and Fiorentina in 13th place.
It's no vacation for neither Parma nor Fiorentina as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Parma form and stats
6-1-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Parma so far this season. Game days at Stadio Ennio Tardini have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Parma as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
In their previous game, the manager R. D'Aversa led his Parma to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Hellas Verona. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Ennio Tardini. Ahead of that match, Parma lost 1-2 at home to Inter.
There will be little rest for Parma after this match as they are travelling to Roma for a Serie A game in only three days.
Parma has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Fiorentina form and stats
Playing away, Fiorentina have won 4 games, drawn 4 and suffered 6 defeats in the Serie A this season.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Sassuolo with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Fiorentina manager G. Iachini faced defeat when travelling to Lazio and losing 1-2.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cagliari in just three days.
The visiting Fiorentina have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 20 goals from 14 games. In the opposite end, Fiorentina have conceded 21 goals in their away games.
