Parma vs Napoli: Serie A Match Prediction (19.05.2025)

On 19 May 2025 at 1:45 WIB, Parma will host Napoli at Stadio Ennio Tardini in a high-stakes Matchday 37 clash of Serie A. Napoli enter the match as clear favorites, according to bookmakers, but both sides have strong motivations to win in this penultimate fixture.

🟡 Parma

The Crusaders still have a realistic chance of staying in Serie A, but they can’t afford to relax just yet. With two matches remaining, they sit four points clear of the relegation zone. As a newly promoted side, Parma have struggled to collect points, with almost half of them coming from 14 draws. They have only 6 wins from 36 games, one of the lowest win rates in the league.

However, one aspect where Parma deserve credit is their attacking play. They have scored 41 goals, more than any other team in the bottom half of the table, showing bravery and aggression up front.

🔵 Napoli

Napoli probably didn’t expect a helping hand from Inter, but Inter’s late-season focus on Champions League matches gave Napoli a golden chance at securing their second Scudetto in three years.

Despite this, Antonio Conte’s side also dropped crucial points in a 2–2 draw against Genoa last week. Now, they lead the title race by just one point, making any slip-up potentially fatal.

Notably, Napoli have adapted well despite losing key forwards – Victor Osimhen before the season and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the winter transfer window. While not explosive in attack, they are Serie A’s best defensive side, with only 27 goals conceded in 36 matches.
