Parma vs Genoa

Parma

<p>Parma and Genoa meet at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in a closely matched Serie A fixture that could influence the relegation picture. With only three points separating the teams, the result could provide breathing space over the clubs below.</p> <p>Parma are 14th on 22 points, one place ahead of Genoa on 19 points.</p> <p>The hosts have the home advantage, but their form at the Ennio Tardini has been a persistent weakness this season. They have suffered a 50% loss rate at the stadium in Serie A.</p> <p>Parma have recorded just one win across their last eight home league matches. They average 0.70 goals per home game, underscoring struggles in the final third.</p> <p>Recent trends suggest a low-scoring contest may again be on the cards. Parma’s last four home Serie A matches have finished under 2.5 goals, reflecting a cautious approach and limited attacking output.</p> <p>Parma have failed to score in their last three Serie A meetings with Genoa. A run they will be eager to end in front of their own fans.</p> <p>A 4-2-3-1 formation with Mateo Pellegrino in attack is expected against Genoa.</p>

Genoa

<p>Genoa have endured a difficult campaign on the road. The visitors have managed just three wins in their last 20 away Serie A matches, highlighting their problems away from home.</p> <p>They have lost five of their last ten league games on their travels, often struggling to control matches for long spells. However, Genoa’s away fixtures have recently been more open than Parma’s home games, with both teams scoring in each of their last 11 away Serie A matches.</p> <p>That trend suggests Genoa are capable of finding the net, even if defensive solidity remains an issue.</p> <p>Looking at the recent head-to-head record, Genoa holds a slight psychological edge. Parma have lost three of the last six meetings between the sides across competitions, and their recent inability to score against Genoa in Serie A adds another layer of pressure.</p> <p>Still, with the two teams closely matched in quality and league position, past results may offer limited guidance. With both sides desperate for points and neither in convincing form, this fixture has all the ingredients of a tense, finely balanced contest.</p> <p>A 4—4—2 formation with Vitinha and Colombo in attack is expected against Parma.</p>
