Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Parma and Genoa take on each other at Stadio Ennio Tardini in the opening match of day 28. Parma desperately needed a win against Roma, and they managed to get one in style. The Gli Emiliani managed to keep their survival hopes alive, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to avoid relegation to Serie B. All Valenti, Gagliolo, Iacoponi, Cornelius, Caviglia, Gervinho, and Inglese are sidelined through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, are safe for now, and seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we predict that Davide Ballardini’s men are going to return home empty-handed. Pellegrini is injured for the visitors, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Parma. In the first half of the season Parma defeated Genoa 2-1.
