Parma vs Torino Match Prediction

Home Team Analysis

Parma typically performs confidently at home, often securing positive results; they have lost only once in their last seven home league matches (2 wins, 4 draws). However, the team has struggled offensively, scoring just two goals in their previous four home fixtures.

Away Team Analysis

The Turin side has been unimpressive on the road, failing to win in 6 of their last 7 away league encounters (2 draws, 4 losses). Moreover, they face significant creative difficulties, having scored only once in their last five away matches.

Final Prediction

It is also worth noting that both teams combined have scored only two goals in the current championship. I do not anticipate a high-scoring or exciting game between these two opponents. Furthermore, I expect the hosts to avoid defeat. My prediction: “1X and Under 3.5 Goals” with odds of 1.76
