Udinese vs Parma Prediction

Udinese come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Lecce last week in a game in which Lorenzo Lucca scored a winning penalty but was immediately substituted as a result of taking the penalty ahead of Florian Thauvin despite the wishes of both management and Udinese players. They face a Parma side that, in Cristian Chivu’s first game in charge after the Romanian replaced Fabio Pecchia, defeated Bologna by two goals to nil at the Ennio Tardini in impressive style. Given their impressive performance in that game and the potential disharmony in the Udinese setup, siding with Parma may well be the way to go for this one at the Bluenergy Stadium.
