Torino vs Parma Betting Preview

Torino and Parma are competing for the 5th place in Serie A, the last one that sends a team to Europa League and both of them are trailing Inter Milano by a few points. This puts them into a difficult position and makes this game of critical importance, because only the victor will remain within striking distance of Inter. A draw would help nobody and will simply crush the dreams of both teams, so splitting points is not an option.

Torino vs Parma Betting Tips

Torino is the most in-form team in Serie A with five victories and a single draw over the last six games, also winning four consecutive games in front of their fans. After losing four games to nil in late February and the first weeks of March, Torino returned to form and two more victories in the remaining rounds could see them play in Europa League.

This would be the first time ever for the club to play in this European competition, so the stakes are as high as they get. Torino came to far too fail in the last match played at home, so they're expected to field another offensive starting team.

With Immobile the only striker to have scored this season, coach Ventura had no option but to push Cerci upfront and now the two players will pair up once again. They have scored a combined 34 goals, and they should have a relatively easy task in penetrating Parma's defenses.

The visitors are sitting in the seventh place, thanks to their home record and lost 12 games on the road, while allowing 27 goals in the process. After losing consecutive goals without scoring at least once, Parma won against unmotivated Sampdoria to stay within striking distance of the leading pack.

Key Facts

• Torino played eight games in the last month and a half, winning six of them and only losing on the road at AS Roma.
• Parma has the advantage in the head-to-head record, winning 13 games, drawing 4 and losing just twice

Torino vs Parma Betting Prediction

This is going to be an all or nothing match for both teams and Parma will no longer defend with all lines, as they usually do on the road. The hosts have the better team and are in great form, so as long as the odds are above even value with Unibet, backing Torino is the right thing to do.
