Parma vs Venezia


Match preview

After beating relegation rivals Monza to end the year on a high and then holding Torino to a goalless draw at the start of January, Parma suffered their fourth defeat in six games last weekend as they went home empty-handed from Genoa.


The hosts scored the only goal of the game midway through the second half at the Stadio Ferraris when captain Enrico Del Prato deflected Morten Frendrup's shot past a stranded Zion Suzuki and into the top corner.


The result keeps the Gialloblu just above the bottom three in a tightly-packed bottom half of the Serie A table.


Having won two of their last three games at the Tardini - as many as they have won in the previous 24 - the Rossoneri return to their home ground looking to continue that trend against a side who followed them up from the second tier last season.


With Parma having failed to score in three of their last four matches, head coach Fabio Pecchia will be keen to exploit the visitors' weakness from set-pieces. While his side have scored the most goals from corners in Serie A this term - six so far, level with Inter Milan and Udinese - they have conceded the most (seven).


Unbeaten in seven top-flight meetings with the Venetians, the last five of which they won, history will be on their side.
