Parma vs Genoa — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.25: Neither of these teams can score, and that is the simple case for a quiet game. Parma have not scored in three of their last five, losing 0-2 to Cremonese, 0-2 to Juventus and 0-1 to Cagliari. They score under a goal a game and their games produce almost 2 goals in total. Only 2 of Parma's last 15 games had 3 or more goals. Genoa are no better in front of goal. They have managed two goals in their last six away trips, and they score under a goal a game overall. Vasquez is suspended after a red card, and Havel and Venturino are both out, so there is even less to work with. The meetings between them say the same thing. The last two league games here finished 0-0, and fewer than half of the last 20 meetings produced 3 goals or more. Both sides sit near the bottom on one point from four league games, and neither wants to be the team caught out. Expect long spells of sideways passing and a crowded middle third. A 0-0 is the likeliest finish, and a 1-0 either way works just as well for us. The risk is that Parma have been letting teams create more chances than their record shows. A first win is also on offer, so one of them may throw bodies forward late. We still want the quiet game.
