Parma vs Torino Predictions

Parma face Torino at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in a Serie A encounter on Monday.

Neither side has kept a clean sheet this season, and I expect that pattern to continue this week.

BTTS is my best bet.

Goals Likely on Monday


  • Parma have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches
  • Parma conceded 1+ goals in their last 7 matches
  • Pàrma have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches against Torino
  • Torino have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches (Serie A)
  • Torino conceded 1+ goals in their last 7 matches

Torino Edge Recent H2H

Parma and Torino have met on seven occasions since 2020. Torino won three of those encounters while Parma claimed one victory. Three games finished level. 

Torino secured a big 4-1 win in their most recent meeting in March.

Parma Easily Beaten at Inter

Parma return to the Tardini after a one-sided 3-0 defeat at Inter last Saturday in Alberto Gilardino's first match in charge.

Goals from Petar Sucic, Hakan Calhanoglu and Marcus Thuram inside the opening 31 minutes ensured a straightforward win for the Serie A champions. 

Match stats reflected Inter's superiority. The hosts controlled possession (59%), outshot Parma 19-9 and registered an xG of 2.36 compared to the visitors' 0.29. Parma managed just two efforts on target.

Former Pisa boss Gilardino replaced Carlos Cuesta in late September and now takes charge of his first home fixture. 

A leaky defence is the biggest issue facing the new head coach. Parma conceded 11 goals while losing four of their last six matches. 

At home, Parma picked up all four of their points, drawing 1-1 against Monza before beating Genoa 2-1 before the international break. 

Six games into the Serie A season, Gillardino's men sit 17th in the division, outside of the relegation zone on goal difference only. 

Torino Secure Vital Udinese Win

Torino make the trip to Emilia-Romagna after an encouraging 2-1 home victory against Udinese on Monday.

Goals from Daniel Braganca and substitute Sandro Kulenovic ensured a first home victory of the season for Il Toro.  

Ignazio Abate's side created the better chances despite having less of the ball. Torino had 38% possession and were outshot 15-12, but recorded a significantly higher xG total of 2.42 compared to Udinese's 0.70.

Up to 12th in the division, Torino had picked up just four points from their first five fixtures before last week's much-needed success at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Like Parma, clean sheets have remained elusive for the Turin-based side. Abate's men conceded at least one goal in 12 of 13 competitive fixtures since April. 

On the road, all three of Torino's Serie A games finished with BTTS. They lost 2-1 at Sassuolo, won by the same scoreline at Fiorentina before a 1-1 draw at Bologna. 

Parma vs Torino Team News

Parma: (3-4-2-1) Edoardo Corvi; Mariano Troilo, Diego Carlos, Franco Carboni; Enrico Delprato, Mandela Keita, Adrian Bernabe, Emanuele Valeri; Giovanni Fabbian, El Bilal Toure; David Romero.

Parma boss Gilardino has three confirmed absentees for Monday's Serie A contest. Nesta Elphege, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Pontus Almqvist remain sidelined. 

Abdoulaye Ndiaye is back in training but remains doubtful to feature. 

Top scorer David Romero is expected to lead the Parma attack. The Argentine has scored two goals in his last three appearances. 

Torino: (3-4-1-2) Lucas Perri; Pietro Comuzzo, Saul Coco, Ricardo Rodriguez; Rafik Belghali, Daniel Braganca, Rolando Mandragora, Alessio Cacciamani; Nikola Vlasic; Sandro Kulenovic, Giovanni Simeone.

Torino boss Abate has a couple of players missing for the trip to Parma. Emirhan Ilkhan misses out after sustaining an adductor injury against Udinese. 

Niccolo Fortini is also likely to remain sidelined with a muscle injury. 

Sandro Kulenovic is tipped to earn a recall after scoring the winner against Udinese. 

Verdict

Neither side has convinced defensively this season, and with Parma stronger at home, I expect a competitive contest with chances at both ends.

BTTS is my best bet for Monday's Serie A contest.
