Parma vs Monza: betting odds 28 Dec 2024
Parma — Monza betting tips 28 Dec 2024
Despite a string of inconsistent results, both Parma and Monza have consistently entertained their fans with a flurry of goals in their matches. These teams, rooted in the lower half of the table, are eager to distance themselves from competitors, yet their chances are hindered by weak defences.
Following their sensational victory over Lazio (3:1), Parma have dramatically faltered in their next three outings, conceding a total of 11 goals against Inter Milan (1:3), Hellas Verona (2:3), and AS Roma (0:5). They have the worst xGA in Serie A at 38.45, with only Hellas Verona having conceded more goals (40 to Parma's 33). On the flip side, Parma have been relatively effective in the attacking third, netting 23 goals in 17 matches—the best figure for any team in the lower half of the table.
Monza, alongside Parma and Cagliari, have hit a rough patch in December, failing to secure a single point this month. Their openness has resulted in numerous defensive lapses, but also produced three consecutive matches with over 2.5 goals. In their clash with Juventus (1:2), Monza arguably deserved a draw (1.34–1.49 in xG and 17–16 in shots), demonstrating the potential to challenge less formidable opponents.
Parma have seen seven of their last eight matches reach at least three goals. A meeting with Monza promises not to fall short on excitement, with these underdogs battling for crucial points and likely to engage in a high-scoring encounter.
