- Venue: Stadio Olimpico Grande, Torino, Italy
Torino
Torino are currently ranked 11th in Serie A, with 20 points from 18 matches. They started the season well, remaining undefeated in their first five matches, with three wins and two draws, including a 2-1 victory against Atalanta.
However, defensive complacency led them to lose three games in a row, each ending in a 3-2 defeat to Cagliari, Inter, and Lazio. A notable trend in these matches was Torino conceding at least one goal in the first half.

Torino typically defeat teams from the bottom half of the table (Empoli, Como, Venezia) but struggle against top-half teams. In 18 games, they have recorded 5 victories, 5 draws, and 8 defeats, scoring 19 goals and conceding 24.
After crumbling to Bologna (2-0), they managed to hold Udinese to a draw by coming back from a 2-0 deficit. Head coach Paolo Vanoli praised the team for demonstrating ‘the spirit’ he expects from Torino.
Peer Schuurs, Sebastian Walukiewicz, Emirhan Ilkhan, Zanos Savva and Duván Zapata are sidelined for the game against Parma.
Parma
Parma are currently in 16th place in Serie A, with 18 points from 18 matches. The team has won only four games so far, with their first victory coming against Milan (2-1) at the start of the season. After that, Parma fans had to wait more than two months to see their team win again, with a crucial 2-1 victory over 19th-placed Venezia.
The team ended the year on a positive note with a 2-1 victory over last-placed Monza. Hernani converted a penalty in the 56th minute, but Monza equalized in the 85th minute through Pedro Pereira’s strike.

However, Lautaro Valenti restored the lead in the final minute, prompting Pecchia to praise his team, saying, ‘I liked my players today.’ This victory also kept the team out of the relegation zone, now two points ahead of 18th-placed Cagliari.
Alessandro Circati, Yordan Osorio, Enrico Delprato, Nahuel Estévez, Adrián Barnabé, Mateusz Kowalski, and Gabriel Charpentier remain sidelined.

- Prediction: Torino to win
- Odds: 1.9 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Torino 2-1 Parma
While Torino have scored fewer goals than Parma (19 compared to 25), both teams have struggled defensively. This type of scenario typically favors Torino, as they prefer to play on the counter-attack.
Furthermore, Torino usually thrive against lower-ranked teams, who often struggle to cope with their attack. Nonetheless, this will be far from an easy game, especially as Torino will be without their key forward, Zapata
Torino vs Parma Betting Tip
- Pick: Che Adams to score
- Odds: TBC (22Bet)
In Zapata’s absence, Che Adams has been Torino’s most reliable forward, with five goals to his name. He was directly involved in both goals during the 2-2 comeback against Udinese and scored Torino’s only goal against Empoli.
Adams is one of the few players on the team with the confidence to score solo goals, which is crucial given the team’s struggles.
With Parma conceding 34 goals in 18 matches (an average of nearly 2 goals per game), Che Adams is a strong candidate to find the back of the net on Sunday.
