Parma arrive in 16th place after six games, having collected four points from one win, one draw, and four losses. Their goal tally stands at four scored and ten conceded, leaving them with a goal difference of minus six. Their recent five matches have produced one win, two draws, and two defeats, including a 3-0 defeat away to Internazionale and a 2-1 home victory over Genoa. Their average goals scored per game in this stretch is one, while conceding 1.6 per game. Meanwhile, Torino sit three places and three points above Parma in 13th position with seven points from two wins, one draw, and three losses. Torino's goal difference is minus two, with seven goals scored and nine conceded. Their last five outings show a mixed bag of results: two wins, one draw, and two defeats. Highlights include a 2-1 home win against Udinese and a 2-1 away victory at Fiorentina earlier in the campaign.

head-to-head history

The two sides have met just once this season, with Torino securing a commanding 4-1 home victory over Parma on 13 March 2026. That match featured five goals in total, underscoring Torino's attacking threat at that encounter. Parma will be aiming to overturn that result on home soil this time around.

expectations and key factors

Both teams are struggling to find consistent form, but Torino's slight edge in points and goal difference suggests they may have a marginal advantage heading into this match. Parma's defensive struggles have seen them concede ten goals in six games, which could be a concern against a Torino side capable of scoring. However, Parma's recent home win and two draws in five indicate they are not without hope. The three-point gap between the teams means this encounter is pivotal for both sides as they seek to avoid slipping further down the table.
