AS Roma welcomes a struggling Parma side to the Stadio Olimpico for a mid-week Serie A clash. The Giallorossi are looking to maintain their excellent start to the season and keep pace with the league leaders, buoyed by a strong defensive record. Parma, on the other hand, is desperate to end a run of poor results and an alarming goal drought, particularly away from home, as they battle to move clear of the relegation zone. This fixture pits one of the league’s best defences (Roma, 3 goals conceded) against the league’s worst attack (Parma, 3 goals scored).

Team Form and Analysis for AS Roma
Domestic Form (Serie A): Roma sits high in the table (currently 3rd) with 6 wins and 2 losses from 8 matches. Their overall form is strong (L W W W L W), but their home form has been surprisingly inconsistent with two losses at the Stadio Olimpico this season, contrasting with a flawless away record. They come into this match off the back of a crucial 1-0 away win against Sassuolo.
European Performance: Recent form includes a loss in the UEFA Europa League (e.g., 1-2 vs Viktoria Plzen), showing some vulnerability, but the domestic focus remains paramount.
Key Player: Paulo Dybala. The Argentine forward recently scored his first Serie A goal of the season and his 200th career goal overall. Expected to start in a false nine role, his creativity, link-up play with attacking midfielders like Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matias Soulé, and clinical finishing will be crucial in breaking down Parma’s expected deep defence.
Team Form and Analysis for Parma
Domestic Form (Serie A): Parma are struggling, sitting in the bottom half (currently 15th) with just 1 win, 4 draws, and 3 losses. Their form is L D W L D D, highlighted by consecutive 0-0 draws in their last two outings. Most alarmingly, they have the worst attacking record in the league (3 goals scored) and have failed to score in six of their eight league games, including every away match this season.
European Performance: Not applicable (No European competition involvement).
Key Player: Mateo Pellegrino. The young forward, alongside Patrick Cutrone, will lead the line. Pellegrino scored both goals in Parma’s only victory this season (2-1 vs Torino). His ability to create an opportunistic moment and test the league’s best defence will be vital, though he faces a tough task against a tight Roma backline.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams

Players to Watch
AS Roma: Gianluca Mancini (Defender): The defensive anchor has been instrumental in Roma’s league-best defensive record (only 3 goals conceded). His leadership and marshalling of the back-three will nullify any rare Parma attacks.
Parma: Zion Suzuki (Goalkeeper): Parma’s goalkeeper has been very busy, already making 26 saves this season. He will need to be in exceptional form to keep a clean sheet against a Roma side with multiple attacking threats.
Prediction
Roma’s defensive prowess combined with Parma’s severe lack of goals makes a low-scoring affair highly probable. Despite Roma’s slightly shaky home form, the sheer dominance in head-to-head records and Parma’s absolute failure to score away from home suggests a comfortable, if not necessarily expansive, victory for the home side. Roma’s collective firepower, led by Dybala’s creativity, should find a way through the Gialloblu’s defence.
Predicted Outcome: AS Roma Win
Score Prediction: AS Roma 1-0 Parma
