Fiorentina vs Parma prediction: Desperate hosts face high-flying visitors

Key Stats

  • Fiorentina have conceded seven goals across their last two games.
  • Fiorentina has seen both teams score in a league-high 18 matches this season.
  • Parma are on a four-match unbeaten run – their longest such streak this season.
  • Parma have picked up 17 points in eight away matches since November.

Correct score prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Parma

What an awful week this has been for Fiorentina, who not only squandered a 3-0 aggregate lead against Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Conference League, but also endured a 3-0 defeat to Udinese last Monday.

With back-to-back defeats under their belts and seven goals conceded during that time, confidence levels are once again at an all-time low.

Parma, on the other hand, are enjoying their best run of results so far this season, going four matches unbeaten and winning three of those games – including a 1-0 success over AC Milan.

Carlos Cuesta’s side have been excellent away from home, and we do not expect them to leave Florence empty-handed this weekend.

Fiorentina preview: Couple of potential injury returns

Before the 3-0 thumping at the hands of Udinese, Fiorentina managed to pick up seven points from three Serie A games – the kind of run they will be looking to replicate.

When it comes to personnel, Daniele Rugani had a full debut to forget last Monday and he is expected to feature on the bench against Parma.

Fabiano Parisi has a one-match ban to serve meaning he will join the injured duo of Luca Lezzerini and Manor Solomon in the stands.

Robin Gosens could make his return from injury, while Moise Kean also hopes to feature after overcoming a shin problem.

Predicted lineup: De Gea (GK), Dodo, Pongracic, Ranieri, Gosens, Brescianini, Fagioli, Mandragora, Harrison, Kean & Gudmundsson

Parma preview: Unbeaten run growing

Parma followed up their three-match winning run in Serie A with a 1-1 draw against Cagliari last weekend – a result which continued their unbeaten run.

Sitting strongly in the middle of the standings, Parma have no relegation concerns. Instead, they are looking to strengthen their position in the middle of the standings.

When it comes to team news, Lautaro Valenti is suspended due to bookings accumulation, while Abdoulaye N'Diaye, Pontus Almqvist and Matija Frigan miss out through injury.

Mateo Pellegrino has enjoyed a decent campaign for Parma, chipping in with eight goal contributions in Serie A, including seven goals.

The Argentine forward recently rattled the net against Verona, helping his side to a 2-1 victory. Fiorentina's defence will be keeping a close eye on him.
