Each team is listed with the starting lineup from their last match in this tournament.
Parma
Fabio Pecchia's side was outplayed by Genoa in their last away match (0-1). This marks Parma's fourth defeat in their last six Serie A matches (alongside a win and a draw). Moreover, the team failed to score in two consecutive Serie A matches for the first time this season. The club has dropped to 16th in the standings with 19 points. Notably, Parma has conceded 35 goals this season, second only to Verona's 44.
Midfielders Adrian Bernabe and forward Gabriel Carpentier will miss the game due to injuries.
- The team has not won in 6 of their last 8 home matches in Serie A (1 draw, 5 losses).
- The players have scored at least twice in 6 of their last 9 home league games.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 5 of Parma's last 6 home Serie A matches.
Venezia
Eusebio Di Francesco's side lost 0-1 at home to Inter in their last match. In their last ten league matches, Venezia has managed just one win (3 draws, 6 losses). Additionally, the team has failed to score in nine Serie A games this season. The club remains in second-to-last place with just 14 points. Notably, Venezia has earned only three points away this season, the worst record in Serie A.
Defenders Giorgio Altare and Michael Svoboda and midfielder Alfred Duncan are out due to injuries. Defender Francesco Zampano and midfielder Hans Nicolussi Caviglia are suspended.
- The club has not won in their last 17 away Serie A matches (4 draws, 13 losses).

- Venezia has failed to score in 3 of their last 4 away Serie A games.
Parma vs. Venezia: Match Prediction
This season, Fabio Pecchia's side has been notable for their attacking prowess at home, thanks to bold and active play. In only one home match this season have Parma failed to score, and in six instances, they have scored at least twice. Remarkably, the team has scored two goals at home even in defeat – this has happened three times in the current Serie A season.
Venezia's defense regularly struggles, especially away from home: they have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight away Serie A matches. Moreover, in 7 of their 10 away games this season, Eusebio Di Francesco's side has conceded at least two goals.
It's also worth noting that in the first-round match of this Serie A season, Venezia allowed their opponent to score two goals even at home. I believe Fabio Pecchia's side will again perform well in attack, so my prediction: Parma Individual Total Over 1.5
