Parma vs Udinese Prediction and Betting Tips | September 16th 2024
Parma will invite Udinese to Stadio Ennio Tardini in Serie A on Monday. The hosts have a win, a loss, and a draw in three games while the Friulani are unbeaten in the league thus far, recording two wins.
The Crociati were unbeaten in their first two games of the season and recorded a 2-1 win over AC Milan but lost 2-1 to Napoli before the international break. Ange-Yoan Bonny scored from the penalty spot in the first half to give them an early lead.
Goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was sent off in the second half but, with no remaining substitutions, Enrico Del Prato played as the goalkeeper for the remainder of the match. Napoli made the most of the situation and scored twice in stoppage time via Romelu Lukaku and Frank Anguissa to record a comeback win.
The visitors played out a draw in their campaign opener against Bologna and have recorded two wins on the spin. In their previous outing, Brenner's first-half strike helped them record a 1-0 home win over Como. Como had the chance to equalize in stoppage time as they were awarded a penalty but Patrick Cutrone failed to convert from the spot.

Parma vs Udinese Prediction
The Gialloblu suffered a late heartbreak in their previous outing, conceding twice in stoppage time, and will look to bounce back in this home game. They are unbeaten in their last five Serie A home meetings against the Bianconeri and will look to build on that form.
Apart from first-choice keeper Zion Suzuki being suspended, Adrian Benedyczak, Nahuel Estévez, Emanuele Valeri, and Mateusz Kowalski remain unavailable due to injuries.
Le Zebrette have won three of their four games in all competitions, though all three wins were registered at home. Interestingly, three of their last six away games in Serie A have ended in 1-1 draws.
Gerard Deulofeu is yet to play this season but took part in training earlier this week and is in contention to start. Alexis Sánchez is struggling with an injury and is not expected to travel to Parma.
While both teams have been in good touch this season, the hosts play without their first-choice keeper, which might impact their performance here. With that in mind and considering Friulani's goalscoring form, they are expected to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Parma 1-2 Udinese
