Como vs Parma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-10-18 13:00.
[p]After picking up back-to-back 3-2 wins over Atalanta and Hellas Verona, Como were on the end of three goals last time out as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against league-leaders Napoli. Despite that, the hosts enter this round as the best-positioned Serie A newcomer (W2, D2, L3), whilst also announcing themselves as great entertainers given the fact that each of their last four matches have witnessed at least four goals scored in total.[/p]
[p]That was the case in both of their home matches so far (W1, D1), which stretched Como’s current unbeaten run on home soil across all competitions to ten (W7, D3). Cesc Fábregas’ side usually don’t wait around in such matches, opening the scoring before the break on seven occasions during that run, including both Serie A home outings this term, which saw them lead 1-0 at half-time.[/p]
[p]As for visiting Parma, a goalless draw away to UEFA Champions League participants Bologna should create some positive momentum, especially as they played almost the whole second half with ten men, though that stalemate did stretch their current winless run to five matches at the same time (D2, L3). Manager Fabio Pecchia was satisfied with his team’s performance overall, mostly as they halted a run which saw them concede ten goals in four matches, eight of which arrived after the break. [/p]
[p]Life on the road hasn’t been to Parma’s liking so far this campaign though (D2, L1), especially as they’ve received a second half red card in each of their three such matches! Worryingly, the away side now haven’t won on their travels since the beginning of April, collecting five draws in the process (L1) which could hinder their survival chances this term.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Gabriel Strefezza has scored both his goals for Como in the 40th-50th minute period across his last three matches. Meanwhile, Dennis Man has netted three of his four goals this season for club and country before the break.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Como have conceded a league-high six goals beyond the 75th minute. [/p]
