Parma vs Genoa Prediction
The Crociati have drawn their last four league outings and will look to return to winning ways in this home game. They have suffered just one loss in their last eight meetings against the visitors, scoring at least two goals in six, and will look to continue their goalscoring form here.
Hernani was injured against Juventus and is not an option for this match. Nahuel Estévez has recently returned from an injury spell and is a doubt. Mateusz Kowalski and Alessandro Circati remain sidelined with injuries.
Il Grifone have suffered five losses in their last six league outings, failing to score in four games in that period. They have failed to score in three of their last five away games, suffering four defeats.
They have a lengthy absentee list for this match, including key players like Ruslan Malinovskyi, Junior Messias, and Caleb Ekuban. Mattia Bani is also not expected to recover in time while Mario Balotelli has trained with the squad and is in contention to start from the bench.
The Crociati have the better recent record in this fixture and, considering Genoa's lengthy absentee list, the hosts are expected to eke out a narrow win.
