Italian Serie A
2025-05-10 - Empoli vs Parma
A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Italy: Serie A
Venue: Stadio Carlo Castellani
Saturday 10th May 2025, 1945hrs
Empoli not only slipped to a second defeat on the trot in last weekend’s Serie A action after being dealt a 1-0 loss at home to Lazio, but this defeat also extended the upcoming hosts’ winless run in the Italian top flight to an alarming 20 games overall.
Unsurprisingly then, Empoli find themselves sitting in the bottom three of the Serie A where they trail fourth from bottom club Lecce and safety by a two-point margin ahead of this upcoming encounter against 16th placed Parma on Saturday evening.
14 out of Empoli’s previous 20 games in Serie A have resulted in defeat which does not bode well for this upcoming clash, while seven of these 14 losses were dealt out to Roberto D’Aversa’s side on home soil at their Stadio Carlo Castellani.
A home record of 1-7-9 7/23 includes failing to score in six of their last 10 home games.
Parma’s stubborn unbeaten run of seven games in the domestic top flight recently came to an end with last weekend’s 1-0 loss at home to Como but the visitors had previously picked up points by way of six draws along with an impressive 1-0 home win against 4th placed Juventus.
Draws on the road at Monza, Verona, Fiorentina and Lazio in recent trips on the road suggest Parma are expected to put up a decent fight at the Stadio Carlo Castellani especially as they are unbeaten in each of their last four away games.
Parma have managed to capture just the single win so far within an overall away record of 1-9-7 15/26 but nine stalemates could stand the visitors in good stead to earn a point on the road here.
The Betting Verdict
Empoli are enduring a poor run of results at the moment so Parma look to have a decent chance of a result.
