Parma have struggled in front of goal this season, scoring just 40 goals in 37 matches. They come here with their season over, but that doesn’t mean this is going to be some final day thriller. They make this trip without Roberto Inglese and Gervinho, who have scored 20 of those 40 goals between them. The visitors are away to Ranieri’s Roma, which is a very different prospect to the Eusebio Di Francesco side. The hosts have become a lot more defensively sound under their new boss, but it’s come at the cost of their impressive attacking football from earlier this term.
The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals in six of their last seven matches, while they’ve won to nil in their last three at the Stadio Olimpico. The Giallorossi have kept five clean sheets in their last seven outings overall, while they won the reverse fixture 2-0. We expect another low scoring clash, with Parma seeing fewer than four goals in 70% of their Serie A games. Against this Roma side, we expect little joy for the visitors. Under 3.5 goals is our pick here, along with a 2-0 home win.
