Parma’s chances for the 3 points
It should be noted their very noticeable and strong start to the new season, which, with an accurate prediction, could suggest that this year Parma will gain a foothold at least in the middle of the table and hold their position for a long time.
Of the entire path to this confrontation, the most unfortunate can be called the unexpected defeat from Palermo in the national cup with a score of 0:1. Although before this match, their first bell in the form of a crushing and confident victory over the owner of the Europa League Atalanta 4:1 could be called the further success in the championship. Therefore, the subsequent matches will not seem so unusual in their outcome.
And then a significant and fresh in memory victory against Milan 2:1, also at home, according to a similar scenario: victory in the first half, the opponent equalises in the second, but this time the hosts have a strong finish and snatch such an important and sensational victory over the vice-champion of Italy.
Statistics stubbornly show that Parma most often achieved success in the second half of the meeting, strategically adding, and thus scoring important goals – victories over Milan and Atalanta were achieved precisely in the second half. Of the additional benefits – so far, all the leaders have received from them in their own goal. Udinese in such a situation does not seem at all invulnerable. Parma keeps its winning line-up and will go out with it against the guests.
Udinese before the match
For Udinese, the current start in the championship is one of the most successful and successful, after a shock victory in the cup against Avellino with a score of 4:0, the black and whites got a draw in the away match with a strong Bologna – 1:1, and in the second round they even beat Lazio on their home field 2:1, showing the football community that they are ready for more this season.
In this significant match, the hosts opened the scoring in the first minutes of the match, the goal was scored by Lorenzo Lucca in the 5th minute from a pass by Florian Thauvin. Lazio was able to score only in the 90+5 minute. The hosts again made the first half of the match the most successful for themselves – a victory over Avellino, over Lazio and a draw with Bologna.
An important quality of the team is the ability to control the situation, acting on the counterattack. It was this tactic that allowed Udinese to earn 4 points against very strong opponents, score against them and even beat them. And the statistics of home matches additionally emphasise their possible success with Como.
Of the losses before the match – the defender Hassan Camara, he is serving a disqualification for a red card received in the last match.
Match prediction
In personal meetings, Parma is slightly ahead, 23 wins against 19 for Udinese. However, the individual performance of the guests, as well as strong statistical indicators in the second half of the game, make a special impression, which, when compared with Parma, can give them an advantage, if not in the whole match, then at least in the half. It is for the second half that we can take the option that with the current frankly good form they will not lose.
