Parma

DDDDLW

Parma will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 1-2 Serie A triumph versus Venezia.

In that game, Parma had 33% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For Parma, the goalscorers were Emanuele Valeri (17') and Ange-Yoan Bonny (68'). On the other side, Venezia got 12 shots at goal with 6 on target. Hans Nicolussi (5') scored for Venezia.

It’s not been often in recent games where Parma have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Parma have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 6 goals during that time.

Their prior results show that Parma:

• have left without a victory over Atalanta in their previous 8 league games.
• are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

Atalanta

DWWWWW 🔥

Atalanta will go into the match after a 2-1 Serie A win with the defeat of Udinese in their last game.

In that match, Atalanta had 54% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Atalanta was Mario Pašalić (56'). Udinese got 11 shots at goal with 6 on target. Hassane Kamara (45') and Isaak Touré (60' Own goal) scored for Udinese.

A sequence of reliable performances from the Atalanta defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 2 from their last 6 fixtures overall. During the same period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 15. We will have to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained here.

Their past results show that Atalanta:

• have not been beaten by Parma in away games against them for the last 4 matches in the league. A very decent away record against them.
• are undefeated in their last 3 league matches away from home.

👥 Head to head

Loads of goals were seen in those games, too - 25 overall at an average of 4.17 goals per meeting.

ℹ️ Team News: Parma

Hernani (Muscle injury), Lautaro Valenti (unknown injury), Yordan Osorio (unknown injury), Adrián Bernabé (Hamstring injury), Mateusz Kowalski (Cruciate ligament tear) and Alessandro Circati (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Parma boss Fabio Pecchia.

In all likelihood, I Crociati will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for the game featuring Zion Suzuki, Woyo Coulibaly, Enrico Del Prato, Botond Balogh, Emanuele Valeri, Simon Sohm, Nahuel Estevez, Dennis Man, Matteo Cancellieri, Adrian Benedyczak and Ange-Yoan Bonny.

📋 Team News: Atalanta

Atalanta manager Gian Gasperini has to currently contend with reduced team options. Berat Djimsiti (Ankle sprain), Ben Godfrey (unknown injury), Sead Kolasinac (Muscle injury), Davide Zappacosta (Calf problems) and Gianluca Scamacca (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

From our viewpoint, La Dea appear most likely to play in a 3-4-1-2 lineup by sending out Marco Carnesecchi, Rafael Toloi, Isak Hien, Odilon Kossounou, Raoul Bellanova, Matteo Ruggeri, Marten de Roon, Ederson, Mario Pasalic, Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman.

🔮 Prediction

Parma must be fancied to breach the defence of this Atalanta side, but a single goal possibly won’t quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re going for both teams to score in a 1-2 advantage for Atalanta by the conclusion of the game.
