AS Roma vs Parma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-28 17:30.
[p]Roma are looking to maintain their surprise Serie A title bid when they host a Parma side who are yet to score a goal on the road this season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After a run of three defeats in four matches across all competitions (W1) threatened to derail Roma’s encouraging start to the season, they returned to form with a 1-0 win at Sassuolo – the fourth of their six Serie A victories this term to be accompanied by that scoreline. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men finished the weekend in second place, level on points with leaders and defending champions Napoli, recording their equal-best eight-game start to a season since 2014/15. The Giallorossi will need to improve on home soil to maintain that pace after losing four of their last five home matches in all competitions (W1), albeit all by a narrow one-goal margin.[/p]
[p]Parma started the round three points outside the relegation zone but have had a disappointing start to the season, winning just one of their first eight Serie A games (D4, L3) while netting a league-low three goals. They failed to add to that total in a 0-0 draw against Como on Saturday and are in the same spot they were after eight rounds in 2024/25, a season that saw them battling relegation throughout. Carlos Cuesta’s men are the only team in this league yet to score on the road this season (D2, L2), contributing to a galling record of winning just two Serie A away games since November 2020 (D16, L19).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Roma won both H2Hs last season by an aggregate score of 6-0 to extend their dominant record to four wins from the last five H2Hs across all competitions (L1). Parma’s last H2H away win came way back in April 1997 (D4, L18) and the visitors have lost their last four visits by a combined 12-2 scoreline.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Just one of Roma’s last seven home league games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Ten of Roma’s 11 goals this season came before the one-hour mark.[/p]
[p]Four of Parma’s last nine away league games finished 0-0.[/p]
[p]Parma have scored just once before the 70th minute in Serie A this season.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Having scored in back-to-back games to open his 2025/26 account, Paulo Dybala should be confident of netting again here after contributing to three goals in last season’s corresponding fixture (G2, A1). Patrick Cutrone had more shots than any other Parma player against Como, and he could score late with his last five club goals arriving beyond the 70th minute.[/p]
[p]Angeliño remains sidelined for Roma, while Parma are without Emanuele Valeri and Pontus Almqvist.[/p]
