Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A odds have drifted to 7/2 with Paddy Power, out from 9/4, as all three bookmakers eased their prices.
The odds on Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A have drifted out from 9/4 to 7/2 with Paddy Power, and one look at their latest outing tells you exactly why the bookies are getting cold feet.
Parma have drifted to a best price of 7/2 with Paddy Power, with three of three bookmakers easing their odds.
Venezia are the favourites at a best price of 85/40 with Skybet, leaving Parma third-shortest in the betting.
The drift lines up with Parma's 3-0 away win over Atalanta at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo.
Skybet and Betfair Sportsbook both match the 7/2 on offer with Paddy Power for Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A.
No single trigger for the move has been confirmed, but the timing is hard to ignore. Parma travelled to the New Balance Arena in Bergamo on 2 November 2026 and came away with a 3-0 win over Atalanta, the first victory for the club's new head coach since he took charge. Giovanni Fabbian broke the deadlock just before half-time, a Davide Zappacosta own goal doubled the lead soon after the restart and Simone Lontani put the result beyond doubt. That is not the kind of performance a side destined for the foot of the log usually produces, and the drift on Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A reflects it.
The bigger story is the defence, and that is the strength this whole argument rests on. Parma sat in a compact low block in Bergamo and kept a clean sheet even with Atalanta firing in 20 shots, which tells you the structure is starting to hold when the pressure is real. It follows a goalless home draw with Udinese that ended a three-match losing run, and Parma have not conceded since that run came to an end. Bookmakers price a scrap at the bottom on direction of travel, and right now Parma's is pointing the right way.
Italian Serie A To Finish Bottom odds
Best odds 7/2 with Paddy Power, worst 7/2 with Skybet. Betfair Sportsbook is level with both, so every firm quoting Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A is in complete agreement, which suggests the drift was a market-wide reaction rather than one bookmaker going it alone.

Who is favourite over Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A?
Venezia are the favourites at a best price of 85/40 with Skybet, and the market has them as the side everyone else is measured against. Monza are second in the betting, Parma have slipped to third-shortest and Lecce complete the leading group. Parma's drift has opened up daylight between them and the top of this market, and on current evidence that feels fair.
Venezia – 85/40 with Skybet, the shortest price in the market and the team to beat at the bottom.
Monza – 10/3 with Paddy Power, second favourites and still ahead of Parma in the betting.
Parma – 7/2 with Paddy Power. That is out from 9/4, with the clean sheet in Bergamo doing the talking.
Lecce – 9/2 with Skybet. Back-to-back league defeats to Frosinone and Genoa leave them in a deep hole, and that price could come in if the slide continues.
Latest bookmaker offer
What next for the odds on Parma to finish bottom of the Italian Serie A?
Next up, Parma host regional rivals Bologna at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday 7 November 2026, and that fixture is the real test of whether this defensive shape is a turning point or a one-off. If the low block frustrates Bologna the way it frustrated Atalanta, expect the drift to keep going; a heavy home defeat and the bookies would cut Parma straight back in. Our view is that the backline has earned the benefit of the doubt, Venezia remain the side the market fears most, and Parma at 7/2 with Paddy Power is a price we would leave well alone until the clean sheets stop coming.
