Roma vs. Parma: Match Prediction
The Romans boast a solid defensive line and have already achieved five clean sheets in this Serie A season. Additionally, the team allows very little to their opponents at home: in the last 16 home league matches, Roma has never conceded more than one goal, and in half of those games, they managed to keep a clean sheet.
Parma has scored only three goals in the current Serie A campaign – the worst record in the league. The club has only scored at home in this championship, and in four away encounters, Carlos Cuesta's side has failed to find the back of the net. It's also worth noting that Parma faced only one truly formidable opponent, Juventus, in these matches. Moreover, the team did not score in the last two head-to-head encounters at Roma's ground in Serie A.
I believe the hosts will manage to keep a clean sheet in this match, and my prediction: Parma Individual Total Under 0.5
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
