Who will have more chances in the attacking third?
After four matchdays, you won’t find many goals in Serie A, nor in our Parma vs. Torino FC tip. When comparing the top five European leagues, nowhere have fewer goals been scored per league game than in the Italian top flight (2.28). The Bundesliga leads this comparison by a wide margin (3.59 goals per game).
The two teams in our Parma vs. Turin FC prediction cannot escape blame for this low rate. Fans of both clubs have been given only one reason to cheer in four league games. Perhaps both teams will have to go without celebrating a goal again.
The Bulls from Turin have chosen a more effective approach to the low goal rate. The visitors have picked up four points with just one goal (12th). Parma, on the other hand, have only managed two points so far (18th minute), but can boast of being the favorites in the Parma vs. Torino FC betting odds.
Both clubs are only peripherally concerned with building up play. There were only three sequences with ten or more passes that led to a shot or a touch in the opponent’s penalty area for the Bulls and the Crusaders combined. By comparison, Inter Milan alone has created 23 such scenes.
Based on the two teams’ performances so far, we have drawn clear conclusions about the anticipated course of the game. We expect a lot of ball exchanges, unrest on the field, and only rare clear scoring opportunities. This leads us at Betano to “Under 1.5 goals in the game.”
Parma – Torino FC Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Let’s turn back time and take a look at the last few encounters. In the previous season, both matches ended without a winner (2-2, 0-0). Two of the last three encounters between Parma and Torino have seen a maximum of one goal scored.
In addition, Carlos Cuesta’s team failed to score in three of their four previous encounters with the club from Turin. In addition to our Parma – Torino FC tip, a bet on “Both teams to score – No” sounds promising.
Parma vs. Torino FC prediction
Only three teams have scored a maximum of one goal in the first four matchdays of Serie A. Two of these three clubs will face each other this coming weekend – Parma and Torino FC.
The visitors suffered a heavy defeat against Inter Milan (0-5) on the first matchday, but have since finished three of four competitive games without conceding a goal. Marco Baroni saw little offensive flair from his team in these matches, with four of the Granata’s six games this season ending with “under 1.5 goals.”
During the week, both clubs advanced to the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, albeit with great difficulty and, in the case of the Crusaders, only after a penalty shootout (4-3 on penalties vs. Spezia). The question of who will win is also a question of which team will be able to regain its strength in the short term.
In our view, both teams lack the structure for orderly play, so a frantic back-and-forth with few scoring chances could well favor an “under 1.5 goals” outcome. The more daring among you might even consider an exact score such as 0-0.
