Genoa
Patrick Vieira's side suffered a 1-2 defeat away to Napoli in the previous round. Genoa extended their winless streak in the league to six matches (2 draws, 4 losses), losing their third consecutive Serie A game. Furthermore, the team has yet to score at home in the current championship. They have earned two points and occupy the penultimate spot in the standings.
- The team has not won in their last six home Serie A matches (1 draw, 5 losses).
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 5 of the last 7 home league matches.

Parma
Carlos Cuesta's side was weaker against Lecce in their last home encounter (0-1). As a result, Parma suffered their third defeat in the current Serie A campaign and failed to score for the fourth time this season. Notably, the club is the only team in this Serie A season not to have scored in away matches. They have accumulated five points and sit in 14th place in the standings.

Genoa vs. Parma: Match Prediction
Neither team impresses with attacking play and high scoring, so I do not expect a high number of goals in this head-to-head encounter. Genoa rarely scores even at home: in their last seven home Serie A matches, the team has only scored four times. Moreover, in the current championship, Genoa has yet to score at home.
Parma also does not impress with their attacking play, especially in away matches. In their last 11 away Serie A games, the team has only scored more than once on two occasions, and in nine instances during this stretch, the club's players failed to breach the opposition's defense. Furthermore, in this championship, Parma has yet to score in away matches.
My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
