Interesting Fact:

Team Analysis

Parma

Parma are in a dire run of form, having failed to win in their last six Serie A outings. Their recent 2-1 loss to Cagliari saw them drop to 18th place, one point adrift of safety.

Fabio Pecchia’s side are struggling in attack, with their last three league goals coming from defenders. They have also suffered three consecutive defeats, with a loss here potentially making it four in a row for the first time since their return to Serie A.

Parma’s home form has been patchy, managing just three wins at Stadio Ennio Tardini all season. However, they have beaten Roma in their last two league meetings at this venue, which might offer them some encouragement.

Current Form:

• Last 5 matches: 0 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses
• Last match: 2-1 loss vs Cagliari (A)
• Key Players:
  • Enrico Delprato – One of the club’s joint top scorers this season.
  • Dennis Man – Provides creativity in attack but needs to improve his finishing.
  • Ange-Yoan Bonny – Expected to lead the line with Milan Djuric injured.

Injuries/Suspensions:

• Out: Yordan Osorio, Lautaro Valenti, Alessandro Circati, Mateusz Kowalski, Gabriel Charpentier, Milan Djuric (injured)
• Doubtful: Valentin Mihaila (fitness)
• Home Form:
  • Played: 12
  • Wins: 3
  • Draws: 3
  • Losses: 6

Parma have lost their last three home league matches and are desperate to turn things around.

Roma

Roma are in fine form, going unbeaten in their last eight Serie A matches. Their last league outing saw them edge Venezia 1-0, and they remain in the hunt for a top-eight finish.

However, Claudio Ranieri’s men were left frustrated in midweek after drawing 1-1 with Porto in the Europa League. That result could mean some squad rotation, particularly with the second leg coming up next week.

Paulo Dybala has been a standout performer, but his fitness is a concern after picking up an injury against Porto. The Argentine has six Serie A goals this season and was instrumental in Roma’s 5-0 demolition of Parma in the reverse fixture.

Current Form:

• Last 5 matches: 3 wins, 2 draws
• Last match: 1-1 draw vs Porto (A, Europa League)
• Key Players:
  • Artem Dovbyk – Leading scorer with eight goals.
  • Paulo Dybala – Has six league goals but could miss out due to injury.
  • Leandro Paredes – Crucial in midfield, especially with Cristante suspended.

Injuries/Suspensions:

• Out: Bryan Cristante (suspended), Devyne Rensch (thigh injury)
• Doubtful: Paulo Dybala (knee injury)
• Away Form:
  • Played: 12
  • Wins: 2
  • Draws: 6
  • Losses: 4

Roma are unbeaten in their last four away league games and will look to extend that streak.
