Atalanta vs Parma Prediction & Tips
Atalanta were stunned by Athletic Club’s comeback and lost 3-2 on Wednesday, a result that saw them drop out of the top eight in the UEFA Champions League. That setback, coupled with a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Pisa, has dampened the optimism generated by a previous run of six wins in seven official matches (1D). Raffaele Palladino’s side start the day five points behind sixth-placed Como, but they can take heart from having won four of their last five league games at home (1D). Furthermore, they are unbeaten here in Serie A against teams that started the weekend in the bottom nine places (4W, 1D).
There has been little excitement lately for Parma, who are coming off two consecutive scoreless draws and remain stuck in the middle of the table. Only leaders Inter have managed to beat the Crociati in their last six meetings (2W, 3D), allowing them to establish a six-point cushion above the relegation zone ahead of this matchday. Although Parma have scored only 14 goals in Serie A this season, six of those have come in a five-game unbeaten run on the road (3W, 2D). In fact, 13 of their 23 points so far have come away from home (3W, 4D, 3L).
