Fabio Pecchia’s team is currently in the promotion play-off spots, six points adrift of the automatic promotion berths in the Italian second tier. Their position would have been even better if it was not for a poor recent run of form.
Parma heads into this clash on the back of just one win in their last four outings in the Italian second tier. A 2-0 win at Brescia last time out ended a three-game winless run in Serie B for the home side.
The Brescia game continued a run of low-scoring matches for Parma, as eight of their last ten Serie B matches have now produced under 2.5 goals.
Parma have lost their last two home games in Serie A against Modena and Benevento. However, they had won their previous four league games on home soil.
The visitors currently occupy one of the relegation play-off spots. However, they are just two points from the safety of 15th place in the table. Daniel De Rossi’s team are winless in their last seven matches in Serie B, although their previous two league outings have both produced draws.
SPAL’s recent league matches have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven games in Serie B.
The visitors have failed to win any of their last eight away games in Serie B. However, six of those winless matches have ended all square.
SPAL’s main problem away from home of late has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in their last five league games on their travels.
