- Home form: Lazio are unbeaten in Serie A 2026/2027 at home (W2, D1).
- Away form: Parma have failed to win any of their 3 away matches in Serie A 2026/2027 (D0, L3).
Lazio to lay down a marker for Parma
Match context
SS Lazio (16 points) will be looking to lay down a clear marker to AC Parma (4) with a victory on Saturday when two sides with contrasting recent form meet at Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy.
Home form and recent results
The Biancocelesti have been rock-solid at home in the new Serie A campaign to date, winning two and drawing one of their three league games at Stadio Olimpico. They have also bounced back well from a 3-3 draw with Serie B side Juve Stabia by beating SSD Monza 1912 3-1 at the same venue a few days later, so a win is the right bet here at 1.51.
Parma away stats
Lazio have a clear top-four pace about them and will be keen to maintain that impression against a Parma side that have been hit and miss in early-season. Parma have not won an away game in Serie A 2026/27, but their numbers for the new campaign are ugly. Parma have averaged 0.33 goals per game on the road in 2026/27 while they have conceded at a rate of 2.33 per away assignment.
Parma can make this match close
Parma's recent form has been mixed to poor, with a 2-1 away defeat to Como followed by a 2-1 home win against Genoa and a 3-0 defeat away at Inter. A victory on Sunday would be a huge step forward for Alberto Gilardino's men, who have been made more compact and less risky by the former AC Milan striker.
The market is heavy on a home victory, with Parma coming into the game at 6.5, which tells you everything about the perception of this match.
Key points
But Lazio are the real deal in 2026/2027 with Gennaro Gattuso's 4-3-3 system really clicking.
- Parma can certainly make this close against a Lazio side that failed to beat them in either of the last two head-to-head meetings in Serie A 2025/2026, but they don't look likely to get the win.
- Parma's best chance of a counter comes via the foot of David Romero, who has been very clinical with two of his two goals for the club coming in their last four Serie A 2026/2027 matches.
Frattesi’s finishing can edge it for Lazio
Davide Frattesi has given Gattuso a great edge to his midfield with three Serie A goals in five games this term and it is his ability to finish that can edge this game for Lazio.
Parma have proven they can frustrate the Biancocelesti at Olimpico after the last head-to-head meeting ended 1-1, so Under 2.5 goals at 1.8 and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.73 looks the way to go with the home side advantage.
