This Roma vs Parma preview highlights a match where AS Roma will be desperate to fix their baffling home form when they host a goal-shy Parma side at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday. The Giallorossi are in the thick of the title race, sitting second in Serie A, level on points with leaders Napoli. Their charge has been built on a flawless away record, culminating in a 1-0 victory over Sassuolo last weekend, but Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has inexplicably lost their last three games at home, including two in the Europa League.
This presents a strange dynamic for a team that has been so defensively sound, boasting five clean sheets and conceding a league-best three goals. This match preview explores whether the hosts can finally deliver for their home fans against a Parma side stuck just above the relegation zone. I Crociati have drawn their last two games 0-0 and are still seeking their first away goal of the season, making this a crucial match for both ends of the table.
Roma vs Parma Match Preview
This is a true clash of styles and form. Roma, despite their recent home wobbles, are one of the league’s elite defensive units. Parma, on the other hand, are offensively anemic, having scored just three goals all season and none on their travels. While Roma’s home form is a major concern, Parma’s inability to score on the road presents the perfect opportunity for the Giallorossi to get back on track at the Olimpico. Bettors will be closely watching this one on platforms like Betano.

- Recent H2H: Roma have won their last two meetings against Parma, scoring six goals and conceding zero (5-0 and 1-0).
Correct Score Prediction
Our prediction is a 1-0 victory for Roma.
This match screams “low-scoring home win.” Roma are defensively sublime, and Parma are offensively inept. The Giallorossi‘s recent home struggles have been against teams far more potent than Parma. With Paulo Dybala back fit and finding the net, Roma have just enough individual quality to break down a Parma side that will surely park the bus. Expect a tight, attritional game, with Roma’s class eventually telling. Parma haven’t scored on the road all year, and it’s hard to see that changing against the best defence in Italy.

Team News Roma
Roma have received a major boost with Paulo Dybala returning to full fitness and scoring the winner last weekend. However, striker Evan Ferguson is a doubt with an ankle problem. Wing-back Angeliño is set to miss out again with bronchitis, meaning Kostas Tsimikas should continue on the left flank. Midfielder Leon Bailey made his first start at the weekend and will be pushing to keep his place.
Team News Parma
Parma are dealing with a significant injury list. Forwards Matija Frigan (cruciate ligament) and Jacob Ondrejka (broken fibula) are long-term absentees. Emanuele Valeri and Gaetano Oristanio are also ruled out. They will, however, welcome back defender Abdoulaye Ndiaye from suspension, which is a timely boost for their backline.
Predicted Lineups
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hermoso, N’Dicka; Çelik, Cristante, Koné, Tsimikas; Soulé, Pellegrini; Dybala
Parma (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; N’Diaye, Del Prato, Circati, Britci; Estevez, Keita; Almqvist, Bernabé, Cutrone; Pellegrino13
