AS Roma vs Parma Prediction
Roma vs Parma: Low-Scoring Affair on the Cards
Preview
Right then, let's fire up the braai and look at this Serie A clash! AS Roma sitting pretty in 2nd place with 18 points, but their home form has been as weak as a vegetarian's argument - only 20% win rate at home recently! They're scoring just 0.60 goals per game at home, which is worrying stuff.
Parma are struggling down in 15th with only 7 points, and their away form is absolutely shocking - zero wins and, get this, ZERO goals scored in recent away matches! That's like going to a braai and not eating any meat - just not right!
Looking at recent results, Roma beat Sassuolo 0-1 away but lost at home to Inter 0-1 and Plzen 1-2. Parma have been drawing 0-0 with Como and Genoa, and lost 0-1 to Lecce. Both teams seem to have forgotten where the goal is!
The head-to-head tells a different story though - Roma dominate Parma completely with a 7-2-0 record, and they're perfect at home against them (4-0-0). Last meeting ended 1-0 to Roma.
Both teams are keeping clean sheets 40% of the time, and with Roma's home attack being so toothless and Parma's away attack being non-existent, we're looking at a proper defensive battle here. The stats show both teams average under a goal per game in these specific contexts.
With Roma conceding only 0.70 goals per game and Parma struggling to score anywhere, let alone away from home, this has all the makings of a tight, low-scoring affair.
