Parma vs Lazio

, KO: 14:00 Dec 1, 2024, Stadio Ennio Tardini
Lazio

Lazio's performance in the early rounds of the Europa League allowed Marco Baroni to rest a fair percentage of his starting line-up against Ludogorets. Now, the Eagles will be ready for anything against Parma.

Parma remain at arms reach to the relegation zone and unless they start improving, they could go back to Serie B at the end of the campaign. The team's recent win over Venezia raised some eyebrows but we saw the same clueless football when they faced Atalanta in the following round.

Parma secured only two wins since the start of the season. It becomes even worse when you look at their home record. The Crusaders have not won a home match since August and four of their last five were defeats.

Lazio retained their position at the top of the Europa League table even after the surprising draw with Ludogorets. The team clearly isn't worried about that competition and plans to focus more efforts on the next few Serie A matches.

The title race in Italy is wild this season and Lazio are one of five teams with equal chances right now. They have 28 points, the same as Fiorentina, Inter, and Atalanta, while Napoli are just a point ahead at the top. Winning against Parma is mandatory.

How the bookies view it: Lazio to get back on track

Bookmakers expect a clean sweep and the three points to travel back to Rome. Kwiff priced the Eagles at 4/5, while the Crusaders are available at 16/5. You can also pick the draw at 14/5.

Recent head to head: Overwhelming blue dominance

Few rivalries have been as one-sided as Parma vs Lazio. The Crusaders last beat the visitors in 2012. Since then, Lazio have won 11 H2Hs in a row. At the same time, Parma only managed to score in one of the last five.

Players to watch: Four in a row for Zaccagni

There are too many players to pick from this Lazio squad and it makes it harder to bet. Of course, this is not a negative thing for Marco Baroni, who has a wealth of attacking players who can score goals.

Mattia Zaccagni should be back among the starters after playing just 12 minutes against Ludogorets, and he scored a goal in the previous three Serie A games in a row. He would love to get a taste of Parma's defence and continue his streak.

Probable line-ups

Parma: Suzuki, Valeri, Balogh, Delprato, Coulibaly, Sohm, Estevez, Man, Cancellieri, Mihaila, Bonny

Lazio: Provedel, Pellegrini, Gigot, Gila, Marusic, Dele-Bashiru, Rovella, Guendouzi, Zaccagni, Castellanos, Isaksen

Anything else catch the eye?

Lazio will come out with the best 11 they have available. Knowing how generous Parma's defence has been this season, the Eagles will have plenty of chances to punish them and we expect some goals. Lazio have rarely scored more than two goals away from home but this is one of those rare opportunities.

Otherwise, we have to back Lazio to win and the odds still offer some value. There are plenty of betting options here and unless we see a fluke, we should all come out winners.
