Parma preview: Poor Parma
Mikel Arteta’s former assistant coach Carlos Cuesta cultivated a very tough to beat and play against Parma side last week but the hosts have struggled instead this time around with the departures of key defensive players Zion Suzuki and Alessandro Circati.
Parma come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Como in their most recent outing at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia last weekend with summer signing David Romero scoring what was a consolation for Parma in that one.
Genoa preview: Struggling Genoa
Daniele De Rossi has endured a tough time of it in charge of Genoa after the Genovese propelled themselves clear of the bottom three and the relegation places last weekend, with just one point collected from their opening four matches of the campaign.
The visitors did manage to edge past FC Sudtirol in the round of 32 of the Coppa Italia with an unconvincing 1-0 victory the other day, courtesy of an 87th minute winner scored by Mexico international defender Johan Vasquez.
Parma team news: Diallo a doubt
Ousmane Diallo is a doubt for Parma this weekend, with former Juventus midfielder Hans Nicolussi Caviglia remains sidelined due to a thigh injury.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Corvi; Del Prato, Diego Carlos, Troilo; Britschgi, Sierro, Keita, Valeri; Lontani, Toure; Elphege
Unavailable: Caviglia (Injured)
Questionable: Diallo (Injured)
Genoa team news: Johan Vasquez suspended
Having scored in midweek as well as last weekend, the aforementioned Johan Vasquez is now sidelined for this one as he is missing through suspension due to a red card last week.
Predicted XI (3-5-2): Bijlow; Marcandalli, Ostigard, Sabelli; Ellertsson, Sow, Frendrup, Baldanzi, Ehizibue; Colombo, Osmajic
Unavailable: Johan Vasquez (Suspended), Havel (Injured), Venturino (Injured)

Parma vs Genoa prediction
Parma did show signs of improvement in their defeat to Como after they had previously earned a point against Monza. They will be intent on being as obdurate as ever as they welcome Genoa to the Ennio Tardini, who themselves appear to be very average in attack and not quite as tight or as resilient as Parma at the back so a low-scoring encounter is again to be expected but perhaps one that does favour the hosts.
Parma vs Genoa tip: Double chance – Parma to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
