Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Parma will host Empoli at Stadio Ennio Tardini, aiming to put an end to their six-game winless run in Serie A. The Gli Emiliani have struggled to find form in recent weeks, but the return of defender Woyo Coulibaly from suspension is undisputedly a boost for Fabio Pecchia’s side. With their defence reinforced, Parma have a nice chance to return to winning ways in the Italian top flight.
Empoli, on the other hand, have been inconsistent throughout the season, and despite having no fresh injury concerns, their morale could be hit by that recent defeat. Paolo Zanetti’s men will need to bounce back quickly, but playing away from home may pose additional challenges for the Azzurri. Given Parma’s urgency to break their winless streak and Empoli’s vulnerability following their recent defeat, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the Stadio Ennio Tardini outfit.
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.
