H2H: AS Roma vs Parma – Prediction (Serie A

H2H: Roma vs Parma – Comparison.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan netted a hat-trick in his last SA outing and became just the second player after Zlatan Ibrahimović to score 10+ goals in three of the top-5 European Leagues since 2015/16. Gervinho scored both his SA goals this season in the second half of Parma’s previous away league match (2-2). Roma’s opening seven league matches have seen a total of 27 goals (3.86 per game), which is their highest at this stage in SA since the 2009/10 season.

Roma Insights.

Four wins in their last five Serie A (SA) matches (D1) have propelled Roma into the top four ahead of the round. Expect action here as four of Roma’s last six league outings have produced over 3.5 match goals, with two seeing at least six! Additionally, the ’Giallorossi’ have opened the scoring inside the first half in the last three competitive matches (W3). At home, Roma have kept a clean sheet in three competitive outings in a row (W2, D1), scoring four of their seven goals during that run before the 35th minute. In league terms only, Roma have been leading here at HT in all three matches via a one-goal margin (twice 2-1). Consequently, the hosts have scored the opener here in four of the last five competitive matches that saw goals.

Parma Insights.

Parma have drawn three SA matches in a row, with two seeing the visiting team on the day net the opening two goals then concede an equaliser in the 92nd minute! Consequently, five of their eight competitive fixtures this term have seen over 3.5 match goals. Continuing the goals theme, which has been a trend in SA this season, each of Parma’s previous ten away league matches have featured both teams scoring. Moreover, three of the last four saw both teams score at least twice. However, Parma remain winless on the road this season (D1, L2), despite netting the opener twice.
