Napoli vs Parma: Match Prediction
Recent matches have not been ideal for the home side in terms of defensive stability. Even at home Napoli have not been reliable at the back: in the seven previous home Serie A matches the team kept a clean sheet only in the game against Como. During that stretch the club conceded twice to Verona and Pisa and also allowed Genoa to score.
Parma Calcio 1913 are not outstanding in terms of overall scoring this season, but recently they have begun to score regularly, even away from home. In the five previous away league matches the team did not leave the field without scoring on any occasion, and on two occasions they scored at least twice. It is also worth noting that the club scored three goals across the last three head-to-head matches with Napoli at Napoli in Serie A.
We expect an effective attacking display from the visitors.
Prediction: Parma Calcio 1913 Over 0.5 goals
