Match preview
Parma recently beat Pescara 2-0 in the Coppa Italia but have struggled in their opening league matches under coach Carlos Cuesta. They have only managed two points from four games, scoring just one goal and conceding five. Currently, they are in 18th place, just above Pisa and Lecce.
Creating and converting chances has been difficult for Parma. Their games often turn into battles in midfield, which slows the game down and limits both teams’ goal opportunities.
Spezia also faces challenges in Serie B. After eliminating Sampdoria in the cup on penalties, they have drawn twice (1-1 against Empoli and 0-0 with Catanzaro) and lost twice (0-2 to Carrarese and 1-3 to Juve Stabia) in their four league matches.
Similar patterns have emerged in Spezia’s games, with individual errors leading to goals conceded, while their offense has wasted scoring chances. They also sit 18th in Serie B.
Probable lineups
Parma: Corvi; Delprato, Circati, Troilo; Lovik, Ordonez, Cremaschi, Sorensen, Valeri; Oristanio, Djuric
Spezia: Mascardi; Candela, Wisniewski, Hristov, Mateju, Aurelio; Esposito, Kouda, Zurkowski; Lapadula, Vlahovic
Match facts and head-to-head
- In their last five matches, Parma has won three times with two draws.
- This season, Parma has scored three goals across five matches.
- Spezia has also scored three goals in five games, with their only win coming from penalties.
Prediction
This match is likely to have few goals. Spezia will aim to keep the game tight, possibly leading to penalties where they might have a better chance. Given Parma’s scoring difficulties, they may not penetrate a strong defense. My prediction: under 2.5 goals at 1.57.
