Como vs Parma Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

Back in the elite after 21 years of absence, Como risks having to work to avoid the descent this season. The promoted player has made a rather good impression so far since he occupies 14th place in Serie A with 3 points ahead of the red zone. Unable to win during the first 4 days, Cesc Fabregas' men then scored two wins in a row against Atalanta 2-3 and Hellas Verona 3-2. They logically fell back to the leader Napoli just before the international break 3-1. Winner of Serie B last year, Parma is once again in the elite after 3 seasons spent at the lower level.

The promoted team got off to a good start by holding off Fiorentina 1-1 before taking the scalp of AC Milan on the 2nd day 2-1. On the other hand, Dennis Man's teammates have not won since 2 draws and 3 defeats. After a setback suffered at home against Cagliari 2-3 , they managed to take a point from Bologna on the last day 0-0 . Parma is now 15th in Serie A and has 2 units of expenditure on its opponent of the day.

The Como coach can count on his entire squad since the usual replacements Barba (defender) and Cerri (attacker) have recovered from their physical problems. On the attacking front, captain Cutrone (4 goals in SA) should take his place. Scorer against Napoli, Brazilian winger Strefezza (2 goals and 1 assist in SA) is also available, as is promising playmaker Paz (2 assists in SA), who was called up with Argentina during the break. In the midfield, we find summer recruits Sergi Roberto and Perrone.

Parma remains without the interesting striker Benedyczak (10 goals in SB last year), the important defender Circati as well as the midfielders Estevez and Kowalski, all on the flank. Added to this is the suspension of the starting fullback Coulibaly. The attacking trio could still be made up of Cancellieri (1 goal in SA), Man (3 goals and 1 assist in SA) and Bonny (2 goals and 1 assist in SA).
