Parma vs Udinese Game Preview

Two of Serie A's strugglers meet at the Ennio Tardini on Wednesday, and our Parma vs Udinese prediction starts with a blunt truth: something has to give.

Parma sit 19th in the standings and have dropped their last three in Serie A. Alberto Gilardino has yet to turn things around since replacing Carlos Cuesta.

Udinese sit 17th, and the view from there isn't much better. Kosta Runjaić's side bring a six-game Serie A losing streak into this one.

Udinese own the head-to-head, with four wins in previous meetings against Parma. Both clubs need points badly, and neither can afford another empty afternoon.

Parma vs Udinese Recent Results

Parma arrive on a three-game Serie A losing run, with Lazio the latest to beat them after Inter Milan and Torino. The defense is the issue, conceding at least two goals in each of those defeats. There is no European distraction, so the focus is purely domestic, and David Romero remains the forward most likely to test a keeper.

Udinese are in even worse shape, beaten in their last six Serie A games, with AC Milan the latest to win at their place without conceding. Like Parma, they have no European commitments. Keinan Davis leads the line with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp the creative spark behind him, but the finishing has let them down.

Parma vs Udinese Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our prediction is an open, messy game with goals at both ends. The Parma vs Udinese betting odds can't separate these two, with both sides priced at +188 (Polymarket) on the moneyline. Our projection gives Udinese only a sliver of an edge, so the moneyline is a coin flip. The goals are where the value sits, which is why the Parma vs Udinese best picks below stay away from the winner.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Both sides have been leaking goals and the model projects a high-scoring game. This one sits in the Total Goals Over/Under market, and our projection points to a high-scoring afternoon. Parma's Serie A games have gone over that line in each of their last five. Udinese have been just as generous at the back, conceding at least two goals in 6 of their last 7 Serie A games.

Both Teams To Score: Yes. Udinese have scored in each of their last three away meetings with Parma, and Parma are conceding regularly. This one lives in the Both Teams To Score market. Our numbers give Yes a 64.09% probability and project both teams to find the net. Parma have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three Serie A games, so expecting a clean sheet from them is a stretch.

Parma vs Udinese Same Game Parlay

Our Parma vs Udinese same game parlay picks swing for a bigger payout: Parma on the moneyline, El Bilal Touré shots on target, Nicolò Bertola carded and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp shots.

Parma Moneyline: Parma have scored 2+ goals in 7 out of 10 Serie A games against Udinese. At +188 (Polymarket), the home side is worth a swing in a parlay.

El Bilal Touré Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target: Touré has found the target at least once in 5 of his past 6 Serie A outings, a steady floor for this leg.

Nicolò Bertola To Be Shown A Card: the defender has picked up a card in 2 of his previous 3 Serie A appearances, and a scrappy game between two slumping sides suits this leg.

Jurgen Ekkelenkamp Over 1.5 Player Shots: that total has come in 6 times across his last 8 games, and he plays behind the striker in a Udinese side that likes long shots.

Parma vs Udinese Talking Points

Alberto Gilardino scored more than 50 goals for Parma in his playing days, and his side badly needs some of that touch now, because finishing has been a weak spot. Udinese have their own flaw, having dropped eight points from winning positions in Serie A this season. Protecting a lead is the one thing Parma do well, so if the home side strike first, Udinese face a stubborn block. If Udinese go in front, the lead is far from safe, and that is exactly why goals at both ends make sense here.
