Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sparkles will be flying when Parma and Palermo lock horns at Stadio Ennio Tardini in a highly-anticipated Serie B game. The Gli Emiliani aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Spezia and a triumph over Palermo could see them overtake Venezia in top position. Both Roberto Inglese and Lautaro Valenti are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their poor display in a 2-1 loss to Catanzaro, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Scotland midfielder Liam Henderson is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. In their last meeting at “Ennio Tardini” Parma defeated Palermo 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Parma):
Founded in 1913, Parma is considered one of the most famous Italian clubs. The Gialloblu play home games in white shirts with a dark blue cross and dark blue shorts. Speaking of their away colours, Parma footballers wear yellow-blue kits on the travels. Parma have yet to win the Serie A trophy, but they did well to lift the UEFA Cup trophy on two occasions (1994/1995, 1998/1999).
To make things even better for Parma fans, the Gialloblu won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1992/1993 season, with the team beating Royal Antwerp in the title game 3-1. A number of top-class footballers played for Parma in the past: Hernan Crespo, Roberto Mancini, Juan Veron, Roberto Mancini, Dino Baggio, Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon.
The Gialloblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Ennio Tardini, which was opened in 1923. The venue can hold up to 27,906 spectators. Bologna are considered Parma’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
