Empoli vs Parma Prediction and Betting Tips | May 10th 2025

Empoli will welcome Parma to the Stadio Carlo Castellani in a must-win Serie A match on Saturday. The hosts are 19th in the standings with 25 points and need to win all three remaining games to retain their top-flight status. The Crociati are in 16th place and have a seven-point lead over the home side.

The Azzurri saw their winless streak in Serie A extended to 20 games last week as they lost 1-0 at home against Lazio. Both teams had a player sent off in that match, with striker Lorenzo Colombo being booked twice in the first 39 minutes of the match.

The visitors saw their unbeaten streak end after seven games last week with a 1-0 home loss to Como. It was their first league defeat since March and the first one at home since February.

Empoli vs Parma Prediction

The Azzurri have lost four of their last five league games and have conceded 10 goals in that period. Notably, they have failed to score in their last six Serie A home games and will look to return to goalscoring ways here.

Lorenzo Colombo was sent off last week and is a confirmed absentee. Ola Solbakken, Tyronne Ebuehi, Viktor Kovalenko, and Tino Anjorin were spotted back in training and will likely be on the bench here.

The Crociati have registered just one win in their last eight league games. Notably, they have suffered just one loss in that period, with six games ending in draws. They are winless in their last four away games in this fixture.

They have a lengthy absentee list for the match, though Pontus Almqvist is back after being absent against Como last week.

Considering the current form of the two teams and injury issues, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
