Each team is listed with its starting lineup from its previous match in this tournament.
Parma
The team extended its uncompromising streak to five matches in Serie A (2 wins, 3 losses), losing to Inter 1-3 in the last round. Parma has been unable to keep a clean sheet for eight matches in the Italian championship. Notably, matches involving Parma are among the highest-scoring in the current Serie A season, averaging 3.1 goals per game. Only matches involving Verona, Atalanta, and Inter have more goals. In the Serie A standings, the club is in 13th place, just three points above the relegation zone.
- The team has not won in 11 of their last 13 Serie A matches (5 draws, 6 losses).
- Both teams scored in 7 of Parma's last 8 matches in this tournament.
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 10 of the club's last 13 home matches in the Italian championship.
Verona
Verona suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in Serie A, losing heavily to Empoli 1-4 in their previous match. This marks the longest losing streak for the club in the current championship. It's important to note that Verona is the only team in the league that has not drawn a match this season (4 wins, 11 losses). Additionally, Verona has the most fragile defense in the current championship, conceding 37 goals. In the Serie A standings, the club is in the relegation zone, occupying the 18th position.
- The team has scored in 21 of their last 27 league matches.
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 10 of Verona's last 12 Serie A matches.
- Verona has lost their last 6 away matches in the top Italian league.
Parma vs. Verona: Match Prediction
Parma's defeat in the last round was not unexpected, given that they faced one of the tournament leaders and the reigning champion, Inter, especially away from home. However, the club is quite capable of securing victories against opponents of their level. Before the match with the Milanese, Parma won 2 of their previous 3 Serie A matches, losing only to the current league leaders, Atalanta, during this period.
In their last home match in the championship, Fabio Pecchia's side defeated a strong Lazio team 3-1. I don't think the hosts will have any problems securing 3 points against one of the tournament's outsiders. Verona has been performing poorly in the current season of the top Italian league, losing their last 6 away matches.
Therefore, my prediction is: Parma to win
