Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Ennio Tardini will host Sunday’s football game between Parma and Roma, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Parma are fighting hard to avoid relegation to the Serie B, while Roma are eyeing a place in the Champions League. The good news for the hosts is that Gervinho has overcome his injury, but keep in mind that Valenti, Zirkzee, Nicolussi Caviglia, Conti, and Cornelius are sidelined with injuries.
Kucka, on the other hand, misses the match through suspension. The Giallorossi aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Genoa, and given Parma’s shaky defence, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the capital club. Zaniolo has been tested positive for coronavirus, while Veretout, Dzeko, and Ibanez remain sidelined with injuries. In Dzeko’s absence, Borja Mayoral will continue to lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Vincent Laurini):
Vincent Laurini started his senior career at the age of 19 as he played for Italy amateur club Fossombrone. The full-back made 54 league appearances for the club between 2008 and 2010 and during that period Carpi scouts spotted him.
He signed for Carpi in 2010 and one year later he signed a new five-year deal with Biancorossi. Laurini played 57 games for Carpi and in 2012 he decided to move to Empoli. The Empoli full-back was born in Thionville, France, but he is eligible to play for both France and Italy. Laurini wears No. 2 shirt for the Azzurri and he made 25 league appearances for the club in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign.
He scored one goal for Empoli during the season as he helped the team pick up one point from the match against Sampdoria. Despite being right-footed, he is capable of playing as a left-back. Laurini’s contract with Empoli expires on 30 June, 2018.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
