Parma vs Monza Prediction & Betting Tips (28 December)

Legendary club from the other side of the Alps, Parma FC returned to the elite this season after 3 long years spent at the lower level. The club's priority objective is therefore naturally to be able to retain its place at the highest level as quickly as possible before considering other ambitions. That said, the promoted ones are in a tough situation. Because after being able to bring down Lazio 3-1, they had 3 losses in a row against Inter 3-1, Hellas Verona 2-3 and finally AS Roma 5-0 last week. In the ranking, the Parmesans are in 16th place with a small point of margin on the red zone.

On the other side of the median, the situation is already quite critical for this Monza team which is going through a long crossing of the desert in this Serie A. Unable to achieve any victory in the championship for more than 2 months, the Brianzoli bring up the rear in the standings with a total of 10 points on the clock after 17 contested days. Worse still, the visitors have just suffered 4 consecutive defeats against Bologna in the Italian Cup 4-0 and against Udinese 1-2, Lecce 2-1 and Juventus 1-2 in the league. An untenable situation for the leaders who decided to fire their coach, Alessandro Nesta, at the start of the week.

Parma will have no other choice than to prepare for this match deprived of potential starters Circati, Osorio (defenders) and Bernabe (midfielder), striker Charpentier and replacements Kowalski and Valenti who form a fairly extensive list of absences. In addition, midfielder Estevez (7 Serie A matches) and defenders De Prati and Valeri have also joined the infirmary in recent days. At the front, the attackers Man (4 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Bonny (4 goals in SA) will be responsible for dynamiting the defense of the red lantern. This also has some notable packages for this trip of the fear.

Indeed, the starting striker Djuric (4 goals in SA), the important midfielders Gagliardini and Pessina, the less used Valoti, the number 2 goalkeeper Cragno and the replacement strikers Petagna and Vignato must all take their patience with the staff medical. Good news, however, for this team with the return of Italian international Daniel Maldini (1 goal in SA). On the offensive level Dany Mota (4 goals in SA) and Caprari (1 goal in SA) should maintain the confidence of their coach.
