Atalanta vs Parma: Serie A Prediction (26.05.2025)

On May 26, 2025, at 01:45 WIB, the final match of the Serie A season will take place between Atalanta and Parma. Bookmakers consider the home team to be the favorite. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and provide a prediction for the match.

Atalanta

La Dea heads into the final round already confirmed as the third-place finisher in this season’s Serie A. They can only watch the Scudetto battle from afar, as they trail second-placed Inter by four points. Meanwhile, they have pulled away from Juventus with a comfortable seven-point lead. Therefore, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team has no strong motivation left in terms of league standings.

This season, Atalanta has played highly attractive football. They are one of the most prolific attacking teams in the league and have the same goal difference as Inter (+42). The team is in excellent form, earning 13 points from a possible 15 in their last five matches, despite significant injuries in defense. Players like Sead Kolasinac, Isak Hien, Giorgio Scalvini, and Rafael Toloi remain in the treatment room.

Parma

On the other hand, the “Crusaders” are in a difficult situation. The battle at the bottom of the Serie A table is heating up. Parma sits in 16th place but has not yet secured their place in Serie A for next season. They are only two points ahead of 18th-placed Empoli. Moreover, Empoli is in good form, having won two games in a row, and will face Verona in the final round — a promising chance to extend their streak.

In this context, Parma desperately needs to earn points in the upcoming match to avoid relying on the results of Empoli and Lecce. Even a draw might not be enough for the Crusaders. It’s important to note that Parma has been very poor away from home, winning only 1 out of 18 away matches and ranking among the worst away teams in the league.

Head-to-Head and Statistics

The first meeting between these two teams this season took place in matchweek 13 of Serie A. Atalanta earned a comfortable 3–1 away victory and dominated the match.

Prediction

It’s difficult to predict the winner of the Atalanta vs Parma clash. On one hand, the hosts are in excellent form. On the other, Parma — one of the league’s strugglers — is highly motivated. Atalanta has strong attacking potential, but the Crusaders will also be desperate to score. Therefore, an interesting option is to bet on over 1 goal in the first half, with odds of 1.57.
