Parma - Como predictions

Parma are no strangers to surprises but with 3.73 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

Most bookies see Como as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.11, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

It’s fair to say Parma demonstrated their character in the last Serie A clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Genoa).

Como are coming on the back of a decisive 2:0 victory in the previous round’s home game, which can be considered a major upset of what most bookies expected. The odds on them winning were at 2.45, yet they led the proceedings throughout – and the goal difference was not negligible, either.

With two almost goalless matches behind them, we’re not convinced matches in which Parma are playing are good for markets such as Over 5 Goals. In the interest of seeing some excitement, we hope that they’ll manage to buck the trend.

The home team will be looking to stay afloat and out of the relegation zone, though tough matches like this one will only make that harder. To be fair, though, the season just barely started, so they may climb up the ladder yet.

While Como enter round 8 in the upper half of the table, they’ll definitely want to climb up. There’s plenty of time left in the season to do so, though matchups like Parma won’t make their lives any easier.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
