The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Parma are in the 9th position while the guesting SPAL worry at 20th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Parma form and stats
6-1-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Parma so far this season.
A strong away win for Parma against Sassuolo the last match, as Gervinho were on target. Preceding that match was a defeat to Lazio (0-1).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Parma have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost zero.
Parma are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. Parma have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
SPAL form and stats
SPAL have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-1-10 (13 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for SPAL who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Atalanta was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, SPAL are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The manager L. Di Biagio was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Stadio Paolo Mazza. SPAL suffered a 1-2 loss to Juventus (placed 1st). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lecce wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
SPAL are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, six draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting SPAL as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. In the opposite end, SPAL have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: SPAL - Parma 1-0. Head-2-head stats last three meetings: zero - zero - three (Parma wins - draws - SPAL wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
