Parma vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-08-29 16:30.
[p]After losing their opening game of the season, Parma attempt to get back on track as they host Atalanta, who kicked off their campaign with a draw.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A 2-0 defeat to Juventus was hardly how Parma wanted to kick off their season, but theyâll be acutely aware that their season wonât be defined by trips to European-chasing sides. New boss Carlos Cuesta is subsequently looking for his first league win in charge, but he can hardly say he has much experience to lean on in his quest to find it as heâs the second-youngest ever manager in Italian top-flight history at the age of just 30. Youâd be forgiven for thinking theyâve got a golden chance to pick that maiden win up in front of their home crowd, but a mere two wins from their last nine Serie A home games (D4, L3) highlights the size of the task at hand here.[/p]
[p]Attempting to pile on the misery will be an Atalanta side who also have a new manager at the helm. Ivan JuriÄ was appointed over the summer to the dismay of some Atalanta fans, and those supporters certainly werenât appeased by a 1-1 home draw against newly-promoted Pisa last weekend. The managerâs cause isnât being helped by an ongoing row with Ademola Lookman that means he remains out of favour, but hitting the road could help him win over some of the Atalanta fans as La Dea tend to perform well on their travels, winning 12 of their last 16 Serie A away matches (D3, L1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Parma broke a nine-game winless streak against Atalanta (D1, L8) by winning 3-2 when these two teams met in Bergamo in May. At home though, theyâve lost four H2Hs in a row. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only two of Parmaâs last seven Serie A home games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Parma have conceded exactly twice in four of their last six league fixtures.[/p]
[p]Only one of Atalanta’s last seven Serie A away games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Atalanta have scored after half-time in seven of their last eight away league games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Parma may feel strangely pessimistic if Milan ÄuriÄ scores, as he is winless across his last eight scoring club appearances (D4, L4). Nikola KrstoviÄ scored in both of his personal H2Hs with Parma last season, and the new Atalanta recruit has netted five of his last seven Serie A goals on the road. [/p]
[p]Matija Friganâs ACL injury will keep him out long-term for Parma, while Atalanta will be without Sead KolaĆĄinac due to a similar problem.[/p]
