Command Analysis

Roma

Current form
Roma is clearly failing in the first round, and the season as a whole – it will be very difficult for Claudio Ranieri’s team to even fight for sixth place. At the moment, the “wolves” are in 12th place in the table with 16 points and are already 12 points behind sixth-placed Juventus – the handicap can already be called critical. There is a chance to get into the European Cups through the Italian Cup – this week, Roma easily beat Sampdoria 4:1 in the 1/8 finals and secured a ticket to the quarterfinals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cristante is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Roma have won their last three home games
- Roma have beaten Parma in their last three home games
Tentative lineup: Svilar - Ndika, Hermoso, Mancini - Celik, Kone, Paredes, Angelino - Dybala, El Shaarawy - Dovbik.

Parma Calcio 1913

Current form
Before the start of the season, Parma was among the main candidates for relegation from Serie A, but so far it looks quite decent and does not give the impression of a hopeless outsider. With 15 points, Fabio Pecchia team is in 15th place in the table and is one point ahead of the relegation zone - there is a risk of ending up there already at the end of the current round. In the last round, Parma quite unexpectedly lost at home with a score of 2:3 to Verona, thus suffering a second defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kowalski, Chirkati, Valenti, Bernabe, Osorio, Estevez are injured.

- Parma have won just one of their seven away games this season.
Estimated line-up: Suzuki - Coulibaly, Delprato, Balogh, Valeri - Keita, Som - Man, Ernani, Cancellieri - Bonny.

2.17Tip and bets
Roma played a quality match in the Cup this week and won a confident victory, and in general, the Wolves looked quite decent in their last home games and are undoubtedly the favorites today. Parma has looked very weak lately, makes many mistakes in defense, and in general is traditionally vulnerable in away games, it makes sense to give preference to the motivated favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Roma . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on total
Roma will undoubtedly take risks today and play only to win – while there is still a chance to fight for European cups, and the relegation zone is very close. It is obvious that Parma’s defense will again have plenty of problems and the guests are unlikely to remain clean. However, the Crusaders play boldly and regularly score, they are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.69
Bet on corners
Roma are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Roma. This bet is offered for 1.79
