With a significant portion of the season already played, we can start making informed observations about Serie A’s progress and the teams’ goals for the remainder of the campaign. For Parma and Monza, survival will be the main focus. Monza, sitting at the bottom of the table, faces a tough battle, while Parma, currently in 15th place, is only five points ahead of their struggling opponent.
Parma Team News
A 5-0 defeat to Roma in the previous round marked Parma’s third consecutive loss, continuing a troubling run. What stands out, however, is that all three of these losses have been high-scoring affairs, each featuring at least four goals. Looking at their recent Serie A form more broadly, this trend isn’t all that surprising—each of Parma’s last six league matches has seen over 2.5 goals. With 33 goals conceded, Parma’s defence is the second-worst in Serie A, ahead of only Verona. However, Parma has been relatively effective on the attacking side, with 23 goals scored, making them the joint highest-scoring teams in the league’s lower half.
Monza Team News
Monza is facing a serious relegation threat, sitting at the bottom of the table with just 10 points. This stands in stark contrast to their previous Serie A campaign, where they comfortably finished mid-table and even had an outside shot at European spots at one point. Heading into their trip to Ennio Tardini, Monza enters the match in poor form, having lost their last three Serie A games. Each of these losses featured over 2.5 goals and saw both Monza and their opponents score. As away contenders, Monza has struggled, with their only road victory coming against Verona in October.

Only two H2H encounters between Parma and Monza can be looked at and they took place during the 2021/22 Serie B season. Both games ended in stalemates with the game at the Stadio Ennio Tardini producing a bland 0-0 result.

Parma – Monza Betting Prediction
Based on the teams’ recent form and statistics, my prediction here is for over 2.5 goals. Parma’s matches have consistently been high-scoring, which is evident in their attacking and defensive figures. Monza’s last three games also saw plenty of goals, reinforcing the likelihood of another high-scoring encounter. With both teams fighting to avoid relegation, they will undoubtedly be pushing for the three points, which could open up the game and create more opportunities for goals.
