Parma vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-11-22 19:45.
[p]No Serie A team had drawn more often this term than Parma before the international break (W2, D6, L4), which they went into having just beaten Venezia 2-1. That victory over a fellow promoted side put a little distance between them and the relegation zone, giving Ducali fans something to smile about over the last two weeks.[/p]
[p]Thereās been little to please them at Stadio Ennio Tardini, where theyāve won just one league game this term (D2, L3) and history suggests those struggles could continue given theyāve lost the last three home H2Hs against Atalanta. Thatās ominous given the only two previous times they won just one of their first seven home Serie A games, they were eventually relegated (2014/15 and 2021/22).[/p]
[p]On a run of six consecutive league victories, the international break came at an inopportune time for Atalanta as they try to take the fight to the leaders. Also on a run of six consecutive H2H wins, they started the round one point behind Napoli as one of four clubs on 25 points after 12 games, setting things up for a potentially fascinating multi-team battle for the title.[/p]
[p]Itās still a little too early for La Dea to be thinking about that maybe, although consecutive league away wins āto nilā, including beating Napoli 3-0 earlier this month, were steps in the right direction after some patchy early-season form on the road (W1, D1, L2). Repeating the feat would see them collect three consecutive league away wins āto nilā for the first time since September 2022.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Ange-Yoan Bonny is averaging a goal every three Serie A games for Parma this term (four in 12) with two of those coming between the 15th and 25th minute. With seven goal contributions across his last five Atalanta appearances (G5, A2), Ademola Lookman could also be an early threat with four of those five goals coming before the 35th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: After matchday 12, Atalanta had scored more Serie A goals inside the opening half hour (ten) than any other side (Parma: seven).[/p]
