A solid start to the season for Parma and Udinese has allowed both teams to pull away from the bottom of the table, where they certainly don't want to end up at the end of the championship. The impressive goal-scoring form of Florian Thauvin and other key players is noteworthy, especially as more leading players are set to join in soon.
Parma's return to Serie A featured a tough schedule with Fiorentina (1:1), AC Milan (2:1), and Napoli (1:2). Against these three top-7 contenders, the team created a respectable 6.20 xG and allowed 3.25 xGA—they were highly creative but let their opponents spend a lot of time near their penalty area. The suspension of their main goalkeeper Zion Suzuki will undoubtedly impact their defensive reliability. However, their attack is in fine form: the attacking duo of Dennis Man and Ange-Yoan Bonny has scored 3+1, and they are ready to continue supporting their team.
Udinese have adopted a similar approach at the start of the campaign. Despite injuries to attacking players such as Alexis Sánchez and Gerard Deulofeu, they still managed to generate a decent 3.24 xG while allowing a worrying 6.65 xGA. Newly-promoted Serie A side Como 1907 (1:0) created 1.99 expected goals with 21 shots against their defence on the road—Udinese are struggling to keep up with opposing attacks.
From August 2018 to February 2021, Parma and Udinese met six times in Serie A, with both teams scoring in five of those matches. The current form of both sides suggests this bet will win again, with an appealing odds ratio as a bonus. We bet on both teams to score.
