Parma to be relegated from the Italian Serie A have drifted to 4/5 with Paddy Power, out from 1/2, with three of three bookmakers easing their odds.
The odds on Parma to be relegated from the Italian Serie A have drifted out from 1/2 to 4/5 with Paddy Power, and after a statement win on the road at Atalanta, the bookies had little choice.
Parma won 3-0 away at Atalanta at the New Balance Arena, their first league victory under their new head coach.
Three of three bookmakers have eased their odds on Parma to be relegated from the Italian Serie A, with Paddy Power now offering 4/5.
Venezia still head the market at 1/2 with Betfair Sportsbook, while Parma sit third-shortest.
Before this result, Parma had managed only five goals in their opening nine Serie A matches of the season.
Nobody saw this one coming from a side that had been so blunt in front of goal. Giovanni Fabbian broke the deadlock with a header in the 41st minute, and the second half barely had time to settle before Davide Zappacosta turned the ball into his own net. Simone Lontani then came off the bench to finish things off, sweeping home a transition move that Fabbian himself started. It was the kind of result a side scrapping at the bottom of the DStv Premiership log would frame and hang in the clubhouse.
The goals grab the headlines, but the real reason the market has moved is what happened at the other end. Parma kept a clean sheet against a strong Atalanta side, and that followed an earlier goalless draw with Udinese. A team that is hard to break down and has finally found someone like Fabbian to spark the attack is not a team the bookmakers want to be short on for the drop, which is exactly why the price has eased.
Italian Serie A Relegation odds
Best odds 4/5 with Paddy Power, worst 4/5 with Skybet. Betfair Sportsbook match that price as well, so there is no edge to be found by shopping around on Parma to be relegated from the Italian Serie A right now. A 4/5 price carries an implied probability of roughly 56%, which tells you the layers still see Parma as a genuine relegation candidate despite the drift.

Who is favourite to be relegated from the Italian Serie A?
Venezia are the favourites at a best price of 1/2 with Betfair Sportsbook, with Parma third-shortest at 4/5 with Paddy Power. Venezia did themselves no favours with a 2-0 home defeat to Inter Milan at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, where two late own goals did the damage. Monza slot in between the two, and Lecce round off the leading four. The gap from top to bottom is tight, so this is still a messy, crowded scrap rather than a settled picture.
Venezia – 1/2 with Betfair Sportsbook, the market leaders after their defeat to Inter Milan.
Monza – 4/6 with Skybet, second in the betting.
Parma – 4/5 with Paddy Power, drifting after the win at Atalanta.
Lecce – 10/11 with Paddy Power, fourth in the betting.

How do Parma avoid relegation from the Italian Serie A?
Next up is the Derby dell'Emilia against regional rivals Bologna at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, and that is a proper test of whether this is a turning point or a one-off. Our take is simple: keep the door shut at the back the way they did at Atalanta, and keep getting Fabbian on the ball in the final third, because that is where the spark has come from. The bench is chipping in too, with Lontani showing he can make an impact as a substitute. If Parma carry that defensive steel into the derby, the odds on Parma to be relegated from the Italian Serie A could ease further. If they slip back into old habits in front of goal, expect the layers to pull that price straight back in.
