With Parma in the relegation zone and Torino looking to build momentum, Monday’s clash at the Ennio Tardini carries more weight than its place on the calendar suggests. Parma sit 17th of 20 with four points from six matches, while Torino are 12th on seven.
Parma’s leaky defence against Torino’s late punch
The two sides are heading in different directions for a clear reason. Parma have scored just four goals this season and conceded ten, and half of those ten have come after the 60th minute. Torino have been far more productive at seven goals, and five of them arrived after the same mark. Neither side has kept a clean sheet all season.
Recent results point the same way. Parma have scored four and conceded nine in their last five, while Torino have scored six and conceded seven. Parma’s league run reads LWLDL, Torino’s WDLWL.
Head-to-head
Torino have the edge in recent meetings. They beat Parma 4-1 in March, when the sides last met in Serie A, and won 1-0 in an earlier meeting. Parma’s best result in the last five was a 2-1 win in September 2025, while the other two games ended 2-2 and 0-0.
Team news
Parma will be without P. Almqvist (calf injury), A. Ndiaye (knock) and H. Nicolussi Caviglia (groin injury). Torino are missing F. Israel (shoulder injury), while N. Fortini (hernia) and E. Ilkhan (injury) are doubts.
Our prediction
Parma 1-2 Torino
Parma have been opened up repeatedly in the closing stages, and Torino have the goals and recent results to take advantage. The hosts will need to tighten up defensively and hope their attack finds more than the few chances it has managed so far. Torino’s late threat should prove decisive if the match is still close after 60 minutes.
