PARMA VS GENOA PREDICTION
Parma, as mentioned, play an attractive and entertaining style of football under Pecchia and they have an abundance of quality in attacking areas on the pitch. They face a Genoa side that, whilst having one the same amount of matches, are far off the standard that Parma have shown. Despite the respective form of the two sides, Parma will be firm favourites for this one to get their second win of the campaign and especially with their home advantage.
