Fiorentina vs. Parma: Match Prediction
At home, Raffaele Palladino's team does not consistently excel in attack. Compared to the start of this season, Fiorentina's scoring performance in home matches has declined: in their last ten home Serie A matches, the team has only surpassed one goal on three occasions. Meanwhile, the Florentines often defend reliably in their penalty area, having kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 home league matches.
Parma struggles to showcase their best qualities in away encounters. Primarily, the team finds it challenging to score goals: in their last nine away Serie A matches, the club's players have only once managed to score more than one goal. Moreover, Parma has failed to score in five instances during this period. In 5 of their last 7 away league matches, the team has conceded a maximum of one goal.
I don't expect a high-scoring game in this match. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
