1.95Tip and bets
Fiorentina, under a new coach and in a renewed form, will start in a match with Parma, in which they will clearly bet only on victory. In attack, the "violets" were impressive in friendly matches and will probably be as aggressive as possible in front today, but at home Parma will also clearly not only defend - an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Prediction - both will score . This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Parma is not an easy opponent, especially at home, but at the same time it is certainly inferior to Fiorentina in class and is not the favorite of today's confrontation. It is unlikely that the "violets" have already reached their peak form, but due to their serious advantage in class, the guests are quite capable of taking three points.
Bet - Fiorentina win. This bet is offered with odds of 2.19
Bet on corners
Fiorentina are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Parma are quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.79
