Fresh off snapping a six-game winless run, Parma play host to Pisa in round 34 of the Italian Serie A on Saturday. Oscar Hiljemark’s men will head into the weekend looking to snap their four-game losing streak and keep their slim hopes of beating the drop alive.
Nesta Elphege grabbed the headlines for Parma last Saturday when he netted the only goal of the game to hand them a 1-0 victory over Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium.
Thanks for the submission!
Carlos Cuesta’s side had failed to win their previous six matches, losing twice and claiming four draws, having won the three matches preceding this run.
Parma have picked up 39 points from their 33 Serie A matches so far to sit 14th in the league standings, level on points with 13th-placed Genoa.
Elsewhere, Pisa were left empty-handed yet again last Sunday when they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Genoa at the Arena Garibaldi-Romeo Anconetani.
Hiljemark’s side have lost each of their last four games on the trot, conceding 11 goals and scoring once since March’s 3-1 victory over Cagliari.
Pisa have picked up 18 points from their 33 Serie A matches so far to sit rock-bottom in the league standings, 10 points off 17th-placed Cremonese in safety heading into the final five games.
Parma vs Pisa Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With four wins from the last 10 meetings between the sides, Parma boast a slightly superior record in the history of this fixture.
- Pisa have picked up one fewer win in that time, while the spoils have been shared on three occasions.
- Parma are on a run of three consecutive wins over Pisa and are unbeaten in six of their last seven meetings, claiming three wins and three draws since September 2021.
- Pisa are the only side yet to taste victory away from home in the league, losing eight and claiming eight draws while conceding 39 goals and scoring 16 so far.
Parma vs Pisa Prediction
Buoyed by their victory over Udinese, Parma will head into the weekend with confidence as they take on a Pisa side who have lost eight of their last nine games.
While Pisa will be looking to secure maximum points and keep their survival hopes alive, their form on the road has been nothing to write home about this season and we fancy Cuesta’s men to come away with a narrow victory.
Prediction: Parma 1-0 Pisa
