Parma will take on Como in Serie A on Saturday, 3 May, in a match between two teams who have seemingly done enough to avoid relegation this season.
Both sides have been flirting with the drop zone all season, but with four games of the season to go, Como are already mathematically safe while Parma have a seven-point cushion between themselves and Venezia in 18th.

- Como have won or drawn six of their last seven matches.

This scoreline has become quite a popular one for Parma in recent weeks, with three of their last seven Serie A matches finishing 2-2.

Player to watch: Nico Paz
As mentioned, Nico Paz is in the final stretch of his Como career, unless the club can tempt him to make his move to Italy a permanent one, of course. Paz has scored six goals and provided six assists for Como in Serie A this season, but that doesn't tell half the story of how influential he has been. There is a feeling that he could explode in the coming years.
