Our predictions for Genoa vs Parma
Match Prediction: Genoa 1-1 Parma
Genoa, despite a string of losses, may find an opportunity to exploit Parma's inconsistent away form. Their recent performances suggest a team struggling to convert chances into goals, but their resilience was evident in the draw against Como. Genoa could leverage their home advantage to press early and disrupt Parma's rhythm, potentially leading to a tightly contested match.
Parma's recent results show a mix of resilience and vulnerability, particularly in away games. Their win against Torino at home indicates capability, but the loss to Lecce and draw against Atalanta suggest challenges in maintaining consistency. Parma will need to be defensively solid and capitalise on counter-attacks to secure a result against a Genoa side eager to break their losing streak.
