Key Prediction Insights

Additionally, the game is anticipated to be a low-scoring affair, with only a 45.0% probability of exceeding 2.5 goals.

Match Analysis

Both Verona and Parma have encountered their share of struggles in recent matches. Verona has experienced a mixed bag of results, with a notable 1-0 away victory against Udinese but suffering losses against Bologna and Juventus. Their defense has been porous, conceding an average of 2.0 goals in the last five outings, though they have managed two clean sheets in this period. Despite scoring difficulties, their expected goals (xG) suggest they have been creating decent opportunities, averaging 1.152 xG per game. Parma, on the other hand, has been grappling with inconsistency. They come into this fixture with back-to-back draws against Monza and Torino, following a narrow defeat to Udinese. The team's inability to maintain leads and convert chances has been evident, with an average of 0.8 goals scored in their last five matches. Their defensive frailties are also apparent, as they concede 1.6 goals on average, which could be problematic against a Verona side eager to capitalize at home.

Final Prediction

Parma's marginally better form and higher probability of victory give them the edge in this encounter. However, Verona's ability to hold teams at bay with clean sheets could pose a challenge for Parma’s attack. A key factor to watch will be whether Parma can tighten their defense against a Verona team desperate for points to steer clear of the relegation zone.
