Parma vs Sassuolo Prediction

Total Goals (O/U 1.5)

Under 1.5

Parma has had 0 games over 2.5 goals this season, indicating a high likelihood of very low-scoring matches. Their average total goals per game is around 1.9. This makes 'Under 1.5 Goals' a strong and confident prediction.

Total Goals (O/U 3.5)

Under 3.5

API-Sports explicitly advises 'Under 3.5 goals'. With Parma's matches never exceeding 2.5 goals and Sassuolo's rarely doing so, 'Under 3.5 Goals' is an extremely confident prediction.

1st Half Goals (O/U 0.5)

Over 0.5

Despite the expectation of a low-scoring match overall, both teams have a history of scoring and conceding in the first half. It's common for at least one goal to be scored before halftime in Serie A.

First Team to Score

Away

Sassuolo has a significantly stronger attack compared to Parma. Given Parma's struggles to score, Sassuolo is more likely to open the scoring.

Goal in Both Halves

No

With a strong expectation of a low-scoring match (Under 1.5/2.5 goals), it is unlikely that goals will be scored in both halves. A single goal or a goalless half is more probable.

Most Likely Score

0-1

Based on Parma's extremely low scoring record and Sassuolo's slightly superior attack, a narrow 0-1 victory for the away side is a plausible exact score. This aligns with the 'Under 2.5 Goals' prediction.

BTTS 1st Half

No

Given the low-scoring nature of both teams and the expectation of a tight first half, it is highly improbable that both teams will score before the halftime whistle.

xG Based (O/U 2.5)

Under 2.5 xG

Given the extremely low actual goal output for both teams, particularly Parma, and the strong prediction for 'Under 2.5 Goals', it is highly probable that the Expected Goals (xG) for the match will also be 'Under 2.5'.

Double Chance

X2

API-Sports explicitly suggests 'draw or Sassuolo' with high probabilities for both outcomes (45% draw, 45% away win). Sassuolo is the stronger team on paper, and the 'X2' double chance covers the most likely results.

Draw No Bet

Away

Given Sassuolo is the slight favorite and the predicted winner, 'Away' in the Draw No Bet market offers a safer option, returning the stake if the match ends in a draw.

HT/FT

Draw/Away

Given the expectation of a tight, low-scoring affair, a goalless first half is quite possible. Sassuolo's slightly better quality and attacking threat could see them break the deadlock in the second half to secure a win.

Total Corners (O/U 9.5)

Over 9.5

Serie A matches typically average around 9-10 corners. With both teams likely to push for goals, especially Sassuolo, and Parma defending, there should be enough attacking play to generate a decent number of corners.

Total Cards (O/U 3.5)

Over 3.5

Parma averages 1.76 yellow cards per game, and Sassuolo averages 2.17. This combined average of nearly 4 cards per game, coupled with the competitive nature of a Serie A match between closely ranked teams, makes 'Over 3.5 cards' a confident pick.

Shots on Target (O/U 8.5)

Over 8.5

While a low-scoring game is expected, both teams will aim for shots on target. Sassuolo's stronger attack should contribute, and Parma, even with a weak offense, will try to test the keeper. An average Serie A match typically sees around 8-10 shots on target.

Total Shots (O/U 22.5)

Over 22.5

Even in a low-scoring game, teams will attempt shots. Sassuolo's attacking intent and Parma's efforts to break down the defense should lead to a combined total of over 22.5 shots, though many might be off target.

Total Fouls (O/U 22.5)

Over 22.5

Serie A matches are often physical, and a competitive game between two closely matched teams can lead to a higher number of fouls as both sides battle for control.

Possession Winner

Away

Sassuolo typically plays a 4-3-3 formation, which often emphasizes ball control, while Parma's 3-5-2 can be more counter-attacking. Sassuolo's slightly superior overall quality might allow them to dominate possession.

Parma's attack is very weak, failing to score in 14 of 34 matches. Sassuolo, despite a moderate defense, has a good chance of keeping a clean sheet against such a toothless offense. Parma's defense is decent, but Sassuolo's attack is stronger, making a home clean sheet less likely.
