Parma vs Sassuolo tips and predictions

Serie A match offers big price for Parma triumph

The home side is not expected to put a spanner in the works but they are where you'll find the value.

Parma will have been taking notes during Sassuolo's setbacks in their recent results. The visitors come into the match with 6 losses from their last 11 away campaigns. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

They are not looking like a sure thing.

I Gialloblu are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. If the hosts pull this off it will have a lot to do with their recent goal tally. They scored at least once in all of their recent 7 home matches.

Sassuolo have actually conceded at least once in 18 of their last 20 matches. Further, there could be signs that their ability to find the net has taken a dip. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been poor. They've scored one or less goals in 3 of their last 4 matches.

Obviously these sides have done battle before. Parma have won 5 of the last 9 fixtures between the two teams. This next meeting is an ideal opportunity for them to build on the head-to-head. They have won before, maybe they can do the impossible this time around.

It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the clear favouritism for Sassuolo. It's not a strong view and the odds-on won't be for everyone but the Yes BTTS bet seems sensible.

So, if the home team is to pull off the upset, it is crucial that they take their chances. Some of their finishing has been imperious in recent outings. It will be what is required if they expect to do what nobody thinks they are capable of and deny the visitors.
