Como and Parma are both newly promoted teams to the Serie A and so far their performances have been acceptable. While neither are in the relegation zone, they are not far off by any stretch of the imagination. A win here for either could pave the way for a solid mid-table bid, while a loss might be foreshadowing a relegation battle.
Como 1907 Team News
Como’s story in the Serie A has been one of surprise thus far. After picking up two 3-2 back-to-back wins against Atalanta and Verona, they were on the receiving end last time out against Napoli. Despite that, Como is the best performer among the three newcomers to the league and is currently with 8 points. Moreover, the team has yet to incur a loss at home. Another notable thing is that Como’s games tend to be wildly entertaining and goal-rich. All of their last 4 Serie A fixtures have produced at least 4 goals and have seen the team both score and concede in all of the aforementioned matches.
Parma Team News
Parma’s long-awaited return to Italy’s top flight hasn’t been excellent, but it hasn’t been awful as well. Despite being overperformed by Como, the distance between the two teams is just 2 points before matchday 8. An away draw to Champions League side Bologna might give Parma momentum as the team has struggled for wins ever since their shock 2-1 victory over Milan. This is evidenced that ever since that win, the team has been in a 5-game-winless streak, losing 3 and reaching a draw in 2 games. Much like Como, Parma’s games tend to produce goals as 4 of their last 5 fixtures featured over 2.5 goals with 3 of those even going over 3.5 goals. The 0-0 draw with Bologna was Parma’s first game which was not marked by both Parma and their opponents scoring a goal.
Head-to-Head-Games
This will be the first time in which Como and Parma meet in Serie A. Prior matches between them took place in Serie B and there are recent ones. Parma has won 3 of the last 5 meetings with Como, while the latter has just 1 victory in that period. Three of the last 5 games featured both teams scoring, while 2 produced over 2.5 goals.

Como 1907 – Parma Betting Prediction
Both Como and Parma’s games tend to be entertaining with both teams scoring and conceding regularly. A win here for either could provide a platform to establish themselves in Serie A’s mid-table and for a newcomer this is a good bid. My pick for this game will be for both teams to score, as many of their recent games have featured such an outcome. Given that both Como and Parma’s fixtures share a lot of similarities in terms of scoring I believe that both will find the net here.
