Parma vs. Torino: Match Prediction
Despite a lack of positive outcomes, Parma stands out for their active forward play and regularly finds the net at home. In their last 22 home league matches, the club failed to score in only two games. In this Serie A season, they have scored at least two goals in seven home matches. However, Parma's defensive actions leave much to be desired, conceding in 18 of their last 19 home league encounters.
Recently, Torino has been effective in attack, even away from home, scoring in six consecutive away Serie A matches, with players netting twice in half of those games. However, in 9 of their last 12 away league matches, Torino failed to keep a clean sheet.
I believe both teams will succeed in attack in this match and exchange goals. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
