- Parma are winless after two home fixtures in Serie A 2026-2027 (D1, L1) and have only scored one goal at home so far.
- Genoa are yet to win away from home in Serie A 2026/2027 after one fixture, conceding just one goal.
Little to separate the two bottom clubs
Parma and Genoa are 17th and 19th in Serie A 2026-2027 after three and four games respectively, with both clubs on just 1 point heading into the clash at Stadio Ennio Tardini on Sunday.
Daniele De Rossi took over the helm at Genoa on 6 November 2025, though they have been far from impressive. His side typically press high and play a 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 system with width provided by the wing-backs.
Genoa's recent form is mixed to poor with just 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses across their last 5 games in all competitions, the last two of which were a 1-4 home defeat to Como in Serie A 2026-2027 and a 1-1 home draw with Frosinone in Serie A 2026/2027.
Carlos Cuesta has been in charge of Parma since 21 June 2025 and his side are built around a 4-4-2 shape, a high line and quick vertical breaks. However, their recent form has been mixed to poor with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in their last 5 across all competitions.
Parma and Genoa's last meeting at Parma in Serie A 2025/2026 ended in a 0-0 draw and there is likely to be little to split the teams this time around with the odds favouring the visitors slightly at 2.48, compared to Parma at 3.05 and the draw at 2.98.
Genoa’s wing-backs to win the battle
Genoa are chasing their first away win in Serie A 2026/2027 after just 1 fixture and they have conceded just 1 goal in the process. Parma are still seeking their first home win in Serie A 2026/2027 after 2 fixtures and have scored just 1 goal in the process.
The hosts have the home advantage but with Genoa's pressing game and ability to stretch the game wide with their wing-backs, they should do enough to claim the spoils here.
The stats all point to a cagey affair, with Under 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.5 and 1.7 respectively my selections for this Serie A 2026/2027 bottom-of-the-table clash. Johan Vasquez has been Genoa's most reliable finisher in Serie A 2026/2027 so far, scoring 1 goal in 4 games.
Djibril Sow has provided the creativity with 1 assist in 4 Serie A 2026/2027 games so far and Simone Lontani has been Parma's shining light with 1 goal in 3 Serie A 2026/2027 matches. With just 3 goals for Lontani in the last 5 games, the stats say that Lontani will score again on Sunday.
