Lazio defeated Genoa 2-0 away in their last match, and they have only recorded one win and two draws in their last three league games, maintaining an undefeated record. Their form has shown some improvement. Lazio’s tactical approach emphasizes control and flanking counterattacks. They average 18 crosses per game, showcasing their strength in flank attacks and creating continuous shooting opportunities for their forwards. Additionally, Lazio’s high press capability is also very impressive; they average 21 tackles per game this season, which not only greatly limits opponents’ ball progression but is also essential for initiating immediate counterattacks. Historically, Lazio’s home performance has been quite stable; they have achieved seven wins, seven draws, and two losses in 16 home league matches so far this season, displaying a strong home presence.
Parma upset Juventus 1-0 at home in their last match, maintaining an undefeated streak of one win and five draws in their past six league games, showing decent form. Parma primarily uses a defensive counterattack strategy, often “parking the bus” as part of their defense, which is also their main strategy to secure points. On the offensive end, Parma’s advantage lies in the speed and flexibility of their flanks; their wing players possess excellent off-the-ball running abilities. After abandoning possession-based tactics, Parma’s scoring ability on the flanks has also been fully displayed. However, it is worth noting that Parma is typical weak on the road; they have only achieved one win, eight draws, and seven losses in 16 away league matches so far this season. Their poor away performance can be considered one of Parma’s major weaknesses.
Both in terms of overall strength and competitive form, Lazio is clearly superior to Parma. Additionally, there is a noticeable gap between their respective performances at home and away; Lazio is historically a strong home team, while Parma is typical weak on the road. All things considered, Lazio, with home advantage, is undoubtedly more worthy of trust compared to the underwhelming away performance of Parma.
