Parma

DLDWLL

Following on from being beaten in their last game against Udinese in Serie A competition, Parma will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Parma managed 47% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. For Parma, the goalscorers were Enrico Delprato (2') and Ange-Yoan Bonny (43'). At the other end, Udinese got 18 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Lorenzo Lucca (49') and Florian Thauvin (68', 77') scored for Udinese.

The stats tell the story, and Parma have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in all. At the back, Parma could really do with shoring things up. However, it remains to be seen whether such a trend might continue on in this upcoming game or not.

Ahead of this meeting, Parma have not won away from home in their last 5 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

📋 Team News: Lecce

Joan González (heart problems), Nicola Sansone (unknown injury), Medon Berisha (Muscle fatigue), Jeppe Corfitzen (Cruciate ligament tear) and Mohamed Kaba (Cruciate ligament injury) will not be able to play for Lecce manager Luca Gotti.

In our view, Giallorossi should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilising Wladimiro Falcone, Frederic Guilbert, Kialonda Gaspar, Federico Baschirotto, Antonino Gallo, Ylber Ramadani, Lassana Coulibaly, Patrick Dorgu, Tete Morente, Ante Rebic and Nikola Krstovic.

📋 Team News: Parma

Parma manager Fabio Pecchia has to choose a team with limited availability. Emanuele Valeri (Adductor pain), Adrian Benedyczak (Injury to the ankle), Nahuel Estévez (Thigh problems), Gabriel Charpentier (unknown injury) and Mateusz Kowalski (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.

We reckon that I Crociati seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Zion Suzuki, Enrico Del Prato, Botond Balogh, Yordan Osorio, Woyo Coulibaly, Adrian Bernabe, Hernani, Dennis Man, Simon Sohm, Valentin Mihaila and Ange-Yoan Bonny.

⚡ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Parma will really need to work well to register a score against this Lecce team who we think will likely get the vital goal that wins it.

We’ve gone for a very competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Lecce at the conclusion of the game.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
