Torino will welcome Parma to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts are in 11th place in the league table, three above the Crociati, who have 18 points to their name, two fewer than the hosts.

The Granata are winless in their last two league outings and were held to a 2-2 draw by Udinese last time around. Second-half goals from Che Adams and Samuele Ricci helped them come back from two goals down.

The visitors returned to winning ways after three consecutive defeats last week, as they concluded 2024 with a 2-1 home win over Monza. Hernani broke the deadlock from the penalty spot in the 56th minute and Lautaro Valenti scored the match-winner in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

Torino vs Parma Prediction

Il Toro played out a 2-2 draw in their previous league outing, scoring two goals in Serie A for the first time since October. Interestingly, they are winless in their last four Serie A home games, suffering three defeats while also failing to score in these losses.

Perr Schuurs and Duván Zapata are long-term absentees while Gvidas Gineitis will also sit this one out due to a knock picked up against Udinese last week. Adam Masina was an unused substitute last week and might get the nod to start. Sebastian Walukiewicz faces a late fitness test.

I Gialloblu returned to winning ways after three defeats last week and will look to continue that momentum here. They have won just one of their last five away games, conceding 12 goals. They are winless in their last three games in this fixture, scoring just once, which is a cause for concern.

Alessandro Circati, Adrián Bernabé, Yordan Osorio, Gabriel Charpentier, and Mateusz Kowalski are sidelined with injuries. Dennis Man has a knock and Enrico Del Prato is also a doubt.

While both teams have endured a poor run of form, the hosts have a better recent record in this fixture and should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Torino 1-0 Parma
