Parma will welcome Hellas Verona to the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Sunday afternoon for a crucial Serie A encounter that could have significant implications for the bottom half of the table.
The Gialloblu ended a frustrating run in dramatic fashion last weekend, snatching a 95th-minute winner to edge Bologna 1–0 in the Derby dell’Emilia and secure their first victory in five outings.
That result has given the Crusaders an eight-point buffer over the relegation zone heading into this round, offering a measure of comfort, though consistency remains elusive.
Carlos Cuesta’s men have won just one of their last 10 home league matches, drawing blanks in six of them, suggesting confidence on their own turf is still fragile.
Verona, meanwhile, remain rooted to the foot of the table after a goalless draw with fellow strugglers Pisa last Friday. That stalemate followed consecutive defeats and stretched their winless league run to nine matches.
Interim boss Paolo Sammarco faces a significant task in tightening things up at both ends, particularly as his side have failed to score in three of their last four away games.

Parma Calcio vs Hellas Verona prediction: Expect a draw
Key statistics

- Both teams have played a full-time draw twice in their last five Serie A games.
- Parma have scored at least a goal in four of their last five meetings with Verona.
Correct score prediction: Parma 1-1 Verona
We anticipate that the home side will edge out a victory in what should be a closely-contested affair at the Tardini. We predict a 1-1 draw given their poor form over their last five games.
While both teams have conceded goals recently, they have often found the back of the net in their previous meetings, and we expect a similar outcome here.

- Home: 11/8 (2.38) – 42.1%
- Draw: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%

Hellas Verona are priced at 3.25, which translates to a 30.8% chance of an away win, while the draw stands at 3.00 (33.3%), underlining expectations of a competitive encounter. Overall, the market points towards a fairly balanced matchup, though Parma hold a small advantage on paper.
Most recent head-to-head: Very tight record
Looking at the last five recent meetings between these two sides, the record suggests a fairly balanced record. Neither team has managed to dominate completely, having secured two wins each and one draw.
In their most recent encounter in November 2025, Parma emerged as 2-1 winners away from home. Prior to that, the sides played out a goalless draw in March 2025, while Verona claimed a narrow 3-2 victory in December 2024 at the Tardini.

Player to watch: Mateo Pellegrino
Mateo Pellegrino is the standout player to monitor for the home side in this game because he has been the primary source of goals for Cuesta. The forward has found the net six times this season.
Despite not scoring in his last five games, he possesses excellent movement and a clinical finish, which will likely expose a makeshift Verona defence that has conceded 10 goals in their last five league games.
