Lazio Roma
While Parma was second in Serie B last year and promoted, Lazio finished fifth last season and managed to qualify for the Europa League group stage. Now they meet in round 9 of this season of Serie A, at the Ennio Tardini ground. Lazio are flying high again, in 4th place and Parma is in a solid 9th spot with only two points less than their opponents in this game. Lazio have won five out the last six matches to propel them to the top four in the table after they opened the season with two defeats against Napoli and Juventus. Even though they lost to Roma in round 7, they rebounded and beat Fiorentina in their last match. Parma have four wins in their last five games and five in their last seven matches, with only the one loss against Napoli in a round 6 encounter. This will be close, but Lazio are favourites to bring home three points.

Highlighted Player (Gervinho):
Gervais Lombe Yao Kouassi, or Gervinho, is an Ivorian football player born in Anyama, near Abidjan. He started his professional career in the youth team of ASEC Mimosas, where he gained the nickname Gervinho, thanks to the Brazilian coach of the team. After that, the left winger joined Toumodi, a club from the Ivorian Deuxieme Division Zone Four, where he played with Toure brothers for a while. His first European engagement was at KSK Beveren and after two years, the Ivorian international joined Le Mans.
During his spell in MUC 72, Gervinho attracted the attention of many large clubs, but he decided to join LOSC Lille and two years after he received a call from Arsene Wenger, which resulted with him moving to North London. His stay with the Gunners was not as expected, so the player decided to join Roma. During the players’ exodus to China, Gervinho joined Hebei China Fortune in a deal worth €10 Million, but he did not satisfy the demands of the Chinese club, so he went back to Italy, where he plays for Parma.
The left winger, who can also play as a right winger, attacking midfielder and shadow striker, recorded 84 appearances for Ivory Coast, netting 22 goals in the process.
