Verona vs Parma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-30 16:30.
[p]A 1-0 win at Udinese before the international break allowed Hellas Verona to establish a seven-point gap to the relegation zone ahead of matchday 30, boosting their chances of staying in Serie A for another year. Survival fears could grow should this fixture against Parma – who sit four points below them – not go the hosts’ way, but Verona can take confidence from winning each of the last five Serie A H2Hs on home soil, albeit they have never managed six in succession in the top-flight against a single opponent![/p]
[p]Paolo Zanetti’s men could go a long way to cementing their top-flight status by improving on home soil, where they’ve won just four of their 14 league matches this season (D1, L9). Only Empoli and Monza have managed fewer than Verona’s 13 home points, but no side comes close to the Mastiffs’ whopping 32 goals conceded on their own turf, forming part of the division’s worst defensive record (GA: 58). [/p]
[p]Parma head into the closing stages of the Serie A season with their head just above water, sitting three points clear of the relegation zone over the international break. A miserable return of one win in 11 matches in 2025 has landed them in trouble (D4, L6), but new boss Cristian Chivu has steadied the ship since arriving, with just one of his four games in charge ending in defeat (W1, D2). [/p]
[p]Those two draws saw Parma come from behind on three occasions, resilience that has become necessary as the Crusaders have conceded first in five of their last six games. One of those instances was last time out at bottom-of-the-table Monza (1-1), with that their 13th failure to win from 14 attempts on the road in Serie A this term (D6, L7).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Ondrej Duda was Verona’s matchwinner at Udinese with his first goal for the club since August 2023 – both of his strikes for Verona have been match openers. Ange-Yoan Bonny responded to being dropped to the bench by scoring the equaliser against Monza, with that the eighth of his last ten goals to come in away matches.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: No Verona player has scored before half-time in their last 11 matches. [/p]
