Parma take on the visitors Udinese In the round 4 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, September 16th at Stadio Ennio Tardini (Parma).
Parma quickly bounced back to Serie A after going bankrupt. At one point, they even produced results that led to talk of potential European competition qualifications. However, a change in head coach led to the team’s relegation to the second division. Only last season (Pecchia’s second as head coach) did they finally secure promotion again. Now back in Serie A, Parma has proven to be quite competitive, at least in August. Yes, they started with a 0-1 loss to Palermo, but that was in the cup, which in today's landscape seems like a way to avoid extra burdens. Afterward, they drew 1-1 with Fiorentina and even beat AC Milan. They took the lead against Napoli too, but after Suzuki was sent off, an outfield player had to step in as goalkeeper and conceded twice in extra time.

Udinese off to a good start this season. The "Zebras" not too long ago were competing in the Champions League. However, they haven’t found another star like Di Natale, though their scouts still do solid work in Friuli. Over time, the club found itself struggling to survive in Serie A. Last season, they managed to gather enough points to stay up, though they finished just a couple of points above relegated Frosinone. They were looking to improve, and with good reason: Runjaic has taken over as head coach, and Alexis Sanchez, who became a star at Udinese, has returned. So far, they’ve had a promising start. They opened by demolishing Avellino 4-0 in the Coppa Italia. Then came a 1-1 draw away at Bologna, followed by back-to-back wins over Lazio and Como.
Parma has 4 wins and a draw against Udinese in recent encounters. However, in the 2020/2021 season, the Zebras won at home and drew away. Parma, as the newly promoted side, looks like the favorite at home. But with Udinese’s strong start, we’re betting on a total of over 2.5 goals being scored in the match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
