Parma vs Brescia Predictions

• It’s been a mixed decade for Parma, but it could finish on a high.
• Brescia have lost 11 times already this season.
• The visitors have been beaten in 7 of their last 9 games.
• 50% of their respective home and away games have seen exactly one goal.

Parma’s European Dream

The hosts are only in their second season back in Serie A, a major comeback after being kicked into Serie D years ago. It’s been an up and down decade for Parma, but their biggest up is on its way. With one match left in 2019, Parma are pushing for Europe.

The hosts are in seventh, just four points shy of the last European place. They are aiming to finish the year on a high, with good form behind them. Can they see off strugglers Brescia on Sunday?

Problems for Brescia

The away side sit two-points shy of safety after some poor form this season. They are coming into this game with five defeats in eight away trips this season, while they’ve lost 11 of their 16 matches overall. With relegation looming, can they turn this around?

The visitors have both fired and hired Eugenio Corini this term. He was dispatched after their poor start, but brought back after things failed to improve. Overall it has been a poor campaign regardless of who has been at the helm. Following seven defeats in nine matches, the visitors look to be in trouble here.

Hosts Have Form in this Clash

Parma are heading into this clash with three straight wins behind them, making them the obvious favourites with the bookies. However, it’s not just recent form which has the home side as the team to back here. Parma have won 11 of their 18 matches against Brescia in Serie A: three draws and four losses.

This has been a tough ground for Brescia over the years. Parma have scored in each of their nine home matches against Brescia in Serie A: seven wins, one draw and one defeat. Given their awful away record, we are backing Brescia for another defeat here.

We are also going for a 1-0 victory for Parma, with the visitors scoring less than a goal per game this term. Brescia have lost by a single goal in 60% of their away defeats, so we are going with a 1-0 home win, given that these two have each seen exactly one goal in 50% of their respective home and away games.
