Parma vs Como Prediction: Match Preview and Analysis | Serie A, Matchday 8
On Saturday, October 25, at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, Carlos Cuesta’s Parma will host Cesc Fabregas’s Como in the second early fixture of Serie A Matchday 8. The home side currently sits just three points above the relegation zone but comes off a valuable away draw — earned while playing with ten men — against Genoa (0-0). The hero of that game was undoubtedly goalkeeper Suzuki, who saved a penalty from Cornet deep into stoppage time. That point didn’t change Parma’s position much in the standings but certainly boosted their confidence, given the way it was achieved. Now, the Gialloblu face a serious test as one of the season’s surprise teams, Como, arrives at the Tardini. Fabregas’s men are fresh off a historic 2-0 victory over Juventus, led by the brilliance of Nico Paz, who once again shined with a goal and an assist. In their second consecutive Serie A campaign, Como are on the verge of the European qualification zone and, after significant summer investments, aim for another win to strengthen their top-six ambitions. The stakes are high: Parma are fighting to stay clear of relegation, while Como are pushing for European spots.
