Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
Atalanta
A thrilling 3:2 victory over Genoa marked Atalanta's fifth win in their last six matches, with the attacking unit clearly rediscovering its form. Across 37 Serie A fixtures, they have scored 76 goals — second only to Inter Milan (77). Their home form has also picked up, with seven points from the last three matches and 34 goals scored at home — the third-best record in the league behind AS Roma (37) and Inter Milan (40).
Parma Calcio 1913
Parma managed a goalless draw at home against SSC Napoli, showing defensive resolve. However, their approach was entirely cautious, generating just 0.30 xG over the 90 minutes. On the road, they have struggled significantly, collecting only 12 points from 18 away fixtures — only AC Monza (10) and Venezia (9) have performed worse. Even with Lautaro Valenti returning from suspension, the visitors remain weakened by the absence of six first-team players due to injury.
Atalanta vs Parma Calcio 1913 Prediction
Since returning to Serie A, Parma have lost all seven official matches against Atalanta, including a 1:3 defeat earlier this season. Given the clear gap in quality and experience, the edge goes to Atalanta once again.
