Parma vs Genoa Prediction & Betting Tips (18 January)

Parma is currently 14th in Serie A and has a rather comfortable lead of 8 points over the first relegation place. Carlos Cuesta's men recently raised the cursor, which allowed them to move away from the red zone. Indeed, they have gleaned 3 victories in the last 7 days, for 2 draws and 2 defeats. After a valuable success acquired last weekend at a direct competitor for maintenance, Lecce 1-2, Parma confirmed its good dispositions by bringing back a point from Napoli this week 0-0. Genoa today occupies 15th place in Serie A with 3 units of spending on its opponent of the day.

After a sluggish start to the championship, the club found some color following the dismissal of coach Patrick Vieira at the end of October. Unfortunately, Daniele De Rossi's men have suffered from a difficult schedule recently. Indeed, they went five games without a win between mid-December and early January: 2 draws and 3 defeats. Genoa put an end to this bad dynamic last Monday by outclassing Cagliari 3-0. 

The Parma coach deplores the defections of goalkeeper No. 1 Suzuki, his understudy Guaita, defenders Ndiaye (starter) and Lovik (substitute), winger Almqvist (substitute) and the still unused striker Frigan. On the bench against Napoli this week, the influential striker Pellegrino (6 goals) and the important midfielder Bernabé should return to the starting 11 this weekend.

Parma has the 19th attack in the championship. This winter, midfielder Hernani (Monza) and winger Begic (Sampdoria) left the club.
