Parma vs Atalanta Prediction
The Crociati returned to winning ways after nine games in their previous outing and will look to build on that form. They have suffered one loss in their last six games with four ending in draws. They are winless in their last eight games in this fixture, failing to score in five, and might struggle here.
Mateusz Kowalski, Alessandro Circati, Lautaro Valenti, Adrián Bernabé, Yordan Osorio, and Hernani are sidelined with injuries and will play no part in this match.
La Dea have enjoyed a good run of form, winning their last five games. They have scored 15 goals in these games while conceding just twice. They have scored 10 goals in their last three away meetings against the hosts and will look to build on that prolific run.
Gian Piero Gasperini will be without the service of Kolasinac, Davide Zappacosta, and Gianluca Scamacca. Giorgio Scalvini and Berat Djimsiti face late fitness tests.
The visitors have been in good touch recently and, considering their better recent record in this fixture, La Dea are expected to record a comfortable win.
