Match Prediction: Lazio vs. Parma
At home, the Romans strive to play actively upfront and regularly score. However, Marco Baroni's side has recently slowed down, and the club's scoring rate has decreased. In their last eight home Serie A matches, Lazio only shone in attack against Monza, who are at the bottom of the table (5-1). They also performed well offensively against Napoli (2-2), but in the other five matches during this stretch, the Romans limited themselves to just one goal.
Parma is expected to deliver a solid defensive performance – away from home, the team focuses more on defensive actions. Opponents often struggle to create chances and score few goals: in their last eight away league encounters, Parma conceded more than two goals only against Milan, and kept a clean sheet in three of those games.
Additionally, in their last head-to-head meeting in Rome in Serie A, the visitors conceded just one goal. I believe Christian Chivu's side will be able to effectively counter the opponent's attack, so my prediction: Lazio individual total under 2
