Parma - Crotone betting tips and odds

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.76 bring great value considering the fact that Parma are indeed firm favourites to defeat Crotone.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Crotone fans are expecting them to triumph at Parma this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Parma’s victory was priced at around 11.50 in the previous round, so the 3:1 defeat at the hands of Juventus wasn’t much of a surprise. They managed to put up a decent fight in the first half, though, despite the home-field disadvantage and overwhelming odds against them.

Crotone’s narrow 0:1 loss at home against Sampdoria in the previous round was quite predictable, considering online sportsbooks priced a home win at 3.30.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Crotone’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Serie A clash tells a different story. Parma lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
