Parma form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Parma, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Serie A, have only managed 1 win, 5 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Stadio Ennio Tardini. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 17 attempts. With eleven home Serie A games in a row without a win, the Parma fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Hellas Verona game long ago, can be stopped today.

Parma manager R. D'Aversa and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Fiorentina (placed 14th) in the Serie A. Preceding that match was the home game against Inter that was lost 1-2.

A goal frenzy last time out for Parma, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Fiorentina. Fun stuff to watch! Valentin Mihăilă was able to secure the draw 3-3 in the game against Fiorentina after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Parma have scored 6 goals here in 13 league matches, a depressing statistic. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Parma have conceded 22 from these games.

Roma form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Before that, Roma secured a home win against Genoa with the score 1-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Roma manager P. Rodrigues Fonseca as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Shakhtar Donetsk.

The travelling fans enjoy Roma's attacking play in away games, having scored 18 goals in 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Roma struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 23 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Roma - Parma 3-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - one - eight (Parma wins - draws - Roma wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
