Fiorentina vs Parma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-12 13:00.
[p]A run of one defeat in five Serie A outings (W3, D1) has reignited Fiorentina’s chances of qualifying for Europe next season, but Raffaele Palladino’s men will have to juggle continental commitments this term too. A 2-1 win at Celje in midweek put La Viola in pole position to advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League, with supporters hopeful of a first European trophy since 1960/61.[/p]
[p]Fiorentina will look to carry momentum through into this clash against Parma as they aim for a fourth successive home league win, with each of the prior three accompanied by a clean sheet. They last managed four such victories in a row in 2015, and another fast start could help them on their way, as Fiorentina have scored a league-high ten goals pre-round in the opening 15 minutes.[/p]
[p]Visitors Parma simply can’t escape the relegation dogfight, with a fourth successive draw last week keeping them perilously close to the drop zone. That latest stalemate – a 2-2 draw with defending champions and leaders Inter Milan – did at least highlight their character, as despite falling to a two-goal deficit in the first half, they rallied to claim a potentially priceless point.[/p]
[p]The additional confidence gained from that comeback could come in handy this weekend, especially as Parma continue to struggle on their travels in Serie A. To this point, the Crusaders have won just one of their 15 away league matches this term (D7, L7) but having avoided defeat on their last three top-flight visits to Fiorentina (W1, D2), they could stitch together their joint-longest unbeaten H2H away run in Serie A here.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Albert Gudmundsson has netted eight goals across all competitions for Fiorentina this term, seven of which came on home soil in wins. Parma’s Ange-Yoan Bonny has recorded nine direct goal contributions in the league this season (G6, A3), including an assist in the reverse H2H on the opening weekend of the season (D 1-1).  [/p]
[p]Hot stat: A league-high 71% of Parma’s Serie A matches this season have seen both teams score.[/p]
