Parma vs Genoa prediction: Tight contest

  • There have been fewer than 2.5 goals in four of the last five meetings between the two sides.

Correct score prediction: Parma 1-1 Genoa

After a slow start to life under Carlos Cuesta, Parma have hit some kind of form, and they will be in high spirits after earning a 0-0 draw in the previous game against Napoli.

After picking up 11 points from their past seven games, they are steadily climbing up the ladder and will be looking for a strong performance at home.

Genoa have an impressive record against them in recent years, but there have been less then two goals in the last three meetings between the two sides.

Thus, we predict a draw, with both sides scoring in an engaging contest.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Draw on the cards

HOME: 9/5 (2.8) – 35.7%

DRAW: 15/8 (2.88) – 34.7%

AWAY: 9/5 (2.8) – 35.7%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Parma sit 14th in the Serie A table with 22 points from 20 games, while Genoa are one place and three points behind them, having played the same number of games.

Thus, there is very little to choose between the two sides, which is why the bookies have priced both Genoa and Parma at 9/5 (2.8), with 35.7% chances of winning.

A draw is the most likely outcome, and 15/8 (2.88) with an implied probability of 34.7% looks really tempting.

Genoa have scored in five of their last seven matches, and BTTS – Yes at 4/5 (1.8) with 55.6% chances of landing is appealing.

As mentioned above, there have been fewer than two goals in the last three meetings between the two sides, and under 2.5 goals at 8/15 (1.53) with a 65.4% chance of landing is a safe bet.
