Parma vs Fiorentina Prediction and Betting Tips | December 27th 2025

Parma will host Fiorentina at the Ennio Tardini on Saturday in another round of the 2025-26 Italian Serie A campaign. The home side have endured a difficult season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop once again, sitting 17th in the table and two points clear of the relegation zone.

Following a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Pisa earlier in the month, Parma welcomed Lazio to Il Tardini in search of back-to-back Serie A wins for the first time since July 2020. Despite spending much of the opening period on the back foot, I Crociati grew in confidence after their opponents were reduced to nine men by the 77th minute, but they failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage, conceding in the 82nd minute to suffer a 1-0 defeat.

Fiorentina, meanwhile, have endured a near-wretched start to their league campaign, failing to register a win in their first 15 matches and leaving them rooted to the bottom of the standings. With results proving elusive and fan frustration at an all-time high, head coach Paolo Vanoli knew a big performance was required as they welcomed Udinese to the Stadio Artemio Franchi last time out.

Despite a sluggish start, Fiorentina were handed a lifeline when their opponents were reduced to 10 men in the seventh minute and duly capitalised, going on to secure a resounding 5-1 victory. They will now hope to use that result as a springboard to kick on for the remainder of the season.

Parma vs Fiorentina Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The two teams have met 68 times, with Parma winning 18 of those encounters and Fiorentina claiming 22 victories.
• There have been 28 draws between the two teams including their most recent matchup which ended goalless.
• Parma have the worst attacking record in Serie A this season, having scored just 10 goals in 15 games.
• Fiorentina, meanwhile, hold the joint-worst defensive record in the division, having conceded 27 goals in 16 matches.

Parma vs Fiorentina Prediction

I Crociati have lost three of their last four games but head into the weekend clash with every chance of coming away with a positive result against their wayward visitors.

Despite their woeful form, I Viola have recorded two wins in their last four games after failing to win any of their previous nine across all competitions. They have the stronger squad on paper but could be hard-pressed to come away with anything more than a point on the road this weekend.

Prediction: Parma 1-1 Fiorentina
