Parma form and stats

Parma's struggle is real here at Stadio Ennio Tardini with only 11 points collected from 14 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-5-7.

Parma's last game was hosting Roma (placed 6th) and winning 2-0. A 3-3 draw away before that, with Fiorentina the opponent.

Parma goalkeeper Luigi Sepe did an outstanding job against Roma with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.

This is expected to be a close game, with Parma perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Parma as a small favourite), we find eight games. Parma has won two of these, drawn three and lost three.

Parma have scored 8 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Parma have conceded 22 from these games.

Genoa form and stats

There's been little loot from Genoa's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the Serie A. Genoa, who have the fewest scored goals (8) away in Serie A, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Genoa are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Genoa delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Udinese (placed 10th) in their previous match; a Serie A game. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Roma's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Genoa playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Genoa wins, four draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Genoa as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Genoa have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
