Empoli vs Parma: Serie A Prediction (11.05.2025)

On May 11, 2025, at 01:45 WIB, a Serie A match between Empoli and Parma will take place. From a standings perspective, this match is very important for both sides, meaning the players will be highly motivated. Bookmakers give a slight edge to the home team due to the home-field factor. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and share our prediction for the match.

Empoli

“The Blues” are in a tough spot with three rounds remaining in the season. The team is in second-to-last place in the standings and currently in the relegation zone to Serie B. However, the situation is not yet critical. They are only two points behind the safe 17th position. Additionally, the remaining schedule is fairly favorable for Empoli, with upcoming matches against Monza and Verona—both games in which they could realistically pick up points or even win.

The main concern is Empoli’s current form. The team has been in a prolonged slump. Their last league victory came on December 8, 2024. Since then, they’ve gone winless in 20 matches, earning just six points from draws.

Parma

“The Crusaders” are in a slightly better situation, but they also haven’t mathematically secured their Serie A status yet. Ahead of this round, Parma sit in 16th place, six points clear of the relegation zone. Their recent away defeat to Como (0–1) was their first loss in the last eight matches.

Overall, the team has found good form and is doing everything possible to stay in the top flight. While Parma still rank among the weakest teams in away performances (only 12 points from 17 away games), Cristian Chivu’s squad has drawn each of their last four away matches. However, injuries are a concern, as at least six players are expected to miss the game.

Head-to-Head and Stats

This season marked the first official match between these teams since 2019. The first-leg encounter was closely contested and ended in a 1–1 draw.

Prediction

For the Empoli vs Parma match, we favor the visitors to score well. Parma are in good form, unlike the home side, who have seemingly forgotten how to win in the league. Therefore, we recommend a bet on Parma individual total over 1 goal at odds of 2.04.
