Torino vs Parma prediction, tips & stats

Torino will host Parma on Friday in a Serie A clash that could prove pivotal as both sides look to build momentum that will keep them out of the relegation battle.

Read our Torino vs Parma prediction and preview to find the best value angles for this game.

Tip 1: Half-time draw

Torino’s matches have started slowly this season, with their half-time average for total goals at 0.375. Parma’s first halves have been even tighter, with an average of just 0.1 total half-time goals.

Those numbers point strongly toward a low-event opening 45 minutes, making HT draw a higher-value alternative to full-time low-goals markets.

On top of that, two of the last four meetings between these teams have been tied at half time.

Tip 2: Both teams to score (BTTS) - no

Parma’s away attack is one of the clearest data points in this fixture since they score just 0.6 goals per away game. Furthermore, they have failed to score in three of their last five matches overall.

On the other side, Torino score 1.1 per home game, which isn't exactly great, so betting on at least one team to fail to score seems like good value for this match.

Tip 3: Nikola Vlasic to be shown a card

Vlasic has 7 yellow cards this season, the highest card count among Torino’s key contributors, and he’s also heavily involved in duels with 34 fouls committed.

Against a Parma side that draws plenty of contact (337 fouls drawn as a team), Vlasic lookes primed to continue with this trend of being booked.
