Atalanta - Parma
When: 20:45
Where: Italy. Serie A
Atalanta
Atalanta occupies third place with 74 points and a goal difference of +42 (76 goals scored, 34 conceded). With an average of 2.00 points per game, Atalanta shows consistently strong performances in Serie A. The recent form is impressive: four wins and one draw in the last five games. The team plays aggressively and with pressure, uses wide wings, and constantly looks for scoring chances. Despite some defensive mistakes, the offense compensates with an average goal return of 2.05 goals per game. Atalanta remains focused toward the end of the season and shows no drop in performance.
Parma
In contrast, Parma stands at 16th place with only 33 points and a negative goal difference of -15 (41 goals scored, 56 conceded). With an average of 0.89 points per game and very unstable form (one win, two draws, two losses in the last five games), Parma appears vulnerable and uncertain defensively. The team struggles to develop pace and penetration, which is also reflected in 1.51 goals conceded per game. Often, their matches see goals from both sides, as Parma fails to reliably keep a tight defense.
Injuries
Both teams are struggling with personnel issues. Atalanta must do without important defenders such as Rafael Tolói, Giorgio Scalvini, and Sead Kolasinac, as well as their main striker Gianluca Scamacca. Parma also has significant absences, including Matteo Cancellieri, Dennis Man, Yordan Osorio, and Valentin Mihăilă, affecting both offense and defense. These absences particularly affect Parma’s already fragile defense and offense.
Head-to-Head Encounters
Historically, Atalanta clearly dominates the direct duels in Serie A, with clear victories like 5-2 (May 2021) and 3-1 (November 2024). Parma has only won one apparently friendly match 4-1, which does not change the overall picture. Atalanta’s playing style presents a big challenge for Parma’s defense, which has often been overcome.
Match Prediction
Despite injury concerns, Atalanta remains one of the league’s strongest offensive teams and will exert high pressure to dominate the match and score goals. Parma, on the other hand, is defensively vulnerable, struggling with uncertainties and will most likely concede at least one goal. At the same time, it’s not excluded that Parma will score as well, since their matches are often high scoring and they occasionally make offensive highlights. Due to the dynamic of both teams and statistical trends, a game with goals on both sides is expected. Therefore, we definitely recommend the bet Both teams to score: Yes with odds of 1.58.
My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.58)
