Parma vs Udinese preview: Spoils to be shared in bleak encounter

Alberto Gilardino’s new tenure in charge of Parma is yet to kick off, having lost each of his opening three games in the dugout. The former Pisa and Genoa manager has failed to steer the club in the right direction.

Last time, they were edged 2-1 by a Lazio side still unbeaten this term. Scoring a consolation there would have been a relief, given they lost each of their previous two games via a 3-0 scoreline.

Another loss here would see them match their longest top-flight losing streak since returning to Serie A in 2024.

Pontus Almqvist, Nesta Elphege, Nicolussi Caviglia and Lautaro Valenti are confirmed missing for Parma. For Udinese, David Alaba, Vakoun Bayo and Idrissa Gueye are sidelined.

The Friulani sit joint on four points with Parma, albeit two places further ahead, just outside the drop zone thanks to their superior +1 goal difference.

Like Parma, Udinese have also lost six games this campaign – this time in a row after going unbeaten in their opening two games.

Their only win this season came on the road, when they beat Monza 3-2 in the second round. That should inspire them when they travel to Stadio Ennio Tardini.

Parma vs Udinese form guide & betting tips

Whispers predicts: Parma 1-1 Udinese

According to Bet365, backing a double chance i.e. Udinese or draw & BTTS – No at 9/5 (2.80) is of significant value. Udinese’s only win this season has come on the road, while Parma’s only victory has come on home turf. However, the visitors’ quality on the ball, at least on paper, is superior.

Under 2.5 total goals at 2/1 (3.00) offers high dividends. Parma have failed to score in two of their last three outings, while Udinese are scoreless in back-to-back games.

Udinese’s Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has failed to score in successive games but is still the club’s top scorer and the joint-tenth with three goals this season. Backing him to score or assist anytime at 1/1 (2.00) is valuable.
