Match Prediction: Roma vs Parma

Roma’s Defensive Strength

Roma boasts a formidable defensive line, having already registered five clean sheets in the current season. Furthermore, the team is notoriously difficult to score against at home: in their last 16 home league fixtures, Roma has never conceded more than one goal, and in half of those matches, they successfully kept a clean sheet.

Parma’s Goal-Scoring Struggles

Parma has only scored three goals in the current campaign, making it the league’s lowest-scoring team. Notably, the club has only found the net in home fixtures this season, failing to score a single goal in all four of their away encounters. It’s also significant that Parma has faced only one truly formidable opponent in these away games – Juventus. Moreover, Parma has failed to score in their two previous head-to-head matches at Roma’s home ground in .

Final Forecast

Considering these factors, I believe the home side will manage to keep a clean sheet in this match. My prediction is: Parma Total Goals Under 0.5.
