Napoli vs Parma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-13 17:30.
[p]Napoli and Parma showcased their powers of recovery during Sunday’s Serie A action and will now be looking to get on the front foot as they meet in midweek.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Napoli twice came from behind to hold Serie A leaders Inter Milan to a 2-2 draw, scoring exactly twice for the sixth consecutive encounter in all competitions (W4, D2) to finish the weekend four points off the top in third place. Head coach Antonio Conte was dismissed in the second half at San Siro, but the Partenopei kept their composure to extend their unbeaten league run to four matches (W2, D2). The reigning Italian champions’ impressive home record is also a huge positive as they are undefeated in the top flight at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona since December 2024 (W14, D5), having scored at least twice in the last three of those games (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Parma also showed character as they conceded in the opening minute against Lecce but fought back to win 2-1 against another side in the bottom half. The Crusaders have now won four of their last eight Serie A matches (D1, L3), a run of form that has lifted them away from relegation danger. With 57% of their league points this season having come away from home (W3, D3, L3), Carlos Cuesta’s men have travelled pretty well too, and especially so recently, having gone unbeaten in their last four top-flight games on the road (W3, D1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Napoli are unbeaten in the last four H2Hs, having kept a clean sheet in three of those games (W3, D1). There has not been a draw between these two sides here since December 2000 (Napoli: W8, L4).[/p]
