Parma vs Monza tips and predictions

Too soon to dismiss Monza

Even if Parma end up netting seven goals, in terms of value-betting they cannot be picked.

The hosts have not always excelled in some of their lacklustre efforts. Parma have been up and down. They've lost 13 of their last 17 games as hosts. To add to their concerns, chances on goal are conspicuous by their absence. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 5 matches on their own turf. Depending on the squad that they end up facing, this stat could be the difference between winning and losing. They'll also need to shore up their defence promptly. They conceded two or more goals in 14 of their last 17 home matches. If they run in to any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

Monza have delivered some high calibre displays. Their better displays have been made possible by their confidence in the final third. They've scored three or more goals in 2 of their last 8 away fixtures which is something they will have to build on to have any chance of making something happen for them here. They have conceded no more than once in 13 of their last 18 away matches. The visitors will be up for this.

There's a low rated separate bet in the Both Teams To Score Yes market. As far as the goal line is concerned, it's more than two goals that stands out here given the latest odds.
