Can Parma build on their last win?
After a very good win in the last round against Roma, Parma will hope to keep that level coming into this game. Before that win, Parma were winless in 17 games and their last win before that run was against Genoa.
Parma have scored 11goals in their last six matches but won just one of them. This shows that they have a very good attacking team in recent games but their defensive record is among the three worst in the league.
In their match against Roma, Parma were not the better side but still won. The stats in that match were all in favor of Roma with 58% of possession and 20 goal attempts. Parma’s Goalkeeper Luigi Sepe had a great match and helped his team with his crucial six saves.
Genoa hoping to stay safe
Genoa are winless in their last six matches. They had a good spell before that with three consecutive wins but four draws and two defeats followed and they are now eight points above 18th placed Torino who have two matches in hand.
If Torino win those two matches Genoa could find themselves in a relegation battle. Coach Davide Ballardini knows his team cannot lose any more points as they have done in their last six matches where they won just four points.
In their last match against at home to Udinese, Genoa drew 1-1. The home side had 56% of ball possession and 465 passes. Out of ten-goal attempts they had three on target.
