Lazio vs Parma: Serie A Prediction (28.04.2025)

On April 28, 2025, at 23:45 (Astana time), the Serie A match between Lazio and Parma will take place. The visitors have not yet completely escaped the relegation zone, while the hosts are pushing for a European competition spot. Let’s take a closer look at both teams’ current form and provide our prediction for the game.

Lazio

Lazio cannot be considered a stable team this season. The Eagles can defeat any team from the top group, only to lose to a team from the lower half of the standings afterward. They were also more disappointing in the Europa League. The team finished top in the group stage but lost to modest Bodo/Glimt in the quarterfinals on penalties, and it happened at home. Nevertheless, Lazio is once again aiming for European competition. There are even chances to make it to the Champions League, with only a one-point gap from the top 4.

The team currently occupies 6th place in the standings, being one of the most prolific teams in the league, but their weak defense lets them down. The score is 55 goals for and 43 goals against. Lazio has conceded more goals than any other team in the top 10. There are also problems with the squad. Defenders Nuno Tavares and Patrick are currently injured, and the suspended Belahyan will also miss the match.

Parma

Parma comes into this game on an unbeaten streak of six matches, with 1 win and 5 draws. As a result, they have managed to pull away from the relegation zone. However, the team still cannot consider itself safe. Their lead over the 18th position is only 6 points, with five matches remaining. Moreover, Parma’s upcoming schedule is far from easy. After Lazio, they face a strong and resilient Como, then a motivated Empoli, followed by matches against Napoli and Atalanta in the final two rounds. However, it is worth noting that in their last three games, Parma put up a strong performance against top teams, defeating Juventus 1-0 and drawing with Fiorentina 0-0 and Inter 2-2.

Coach Cristian Kivu will be without at least six players, but there are no new injuries in the squad.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

In the last five head-to-head meetings, Lazio has the advantage with 4 wins. However, the first meeting this season was won by Parma 3-1.

Prediction

For the Lazio vs Parma match, our prediction is for a high-scoring game. Parma has been regularly scoring lately, while Lazio is inconsistent defensively but has a very strong attacking line. Therefore, we recommend betting on over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.79.
