Midweek football in the Serie A, as a bankrupt Parma side takes on Udinese at Ennio Tardini.
Parma’s problems are well documented, their financial problems are extremely severe and they are now certain of relegation. Parma gained only 13 points in 27 rounds, but was also handed a 3 point penalty – so they are sitting dead last in the standings with 10 points. However, the hosts proved last round that they can still get the job done on their day, drawing 1-1 in Milano with Inter. It was the 3rd draw in the last 5 matches for Parma, so people who think they will roll over and die are wrong – Parma’s players are showing real character and look likely to fight until the end of the season.
Udinese is in a similar situation in terms of the fact that they have no objective left – relegation is not an issue, European Cups spots are obviously gone as well. The visitors are in decent form, undefeated in the last 4 matches, but also winless in the last three. However, drawing with Atalanta and Genoa (away) and Fiorentina (at home) are not bad results at all.

Team news & lineups:
Parma will have to do without Biabiany, Galloppa, Mariga and Lucarelli. Udinese will not be able to count on Domizzi, Piris and Pinzi. All in all, both sides can field strong lineups in this clash.
Parma: Mirante – Cassani, Mendes, Costa – Gobbi, Mauri, Lila, Jorquera, Varela – Nocerino, Belfodil
Udinese: Karnezis – Wague, Danilo, Heurtaux – Widmer, Badu, Kone, Allan, Silva – di Natale, Thereau
Odds on Udinese to win are a real roller coaster right now, as they dropped from 2.80 to 1.80 and now went back up to a more fair 2.15 – though I still think their odds are too short. The visitors are not exactly known for winning games on the road in Serie A and Parma will be boosted by the draw they got at Inter. I reckon the hosts have the strength and resilience to keep Udinese at bay. Udine is one of the most draw – prone teams in the Serie A, so I really feel that a tied result is the most probable outcome here.
I don’t quite believe in an Udinese win, but Parma hasn’t won a game since January. My tip is the draw. Prediction: Parma – Udinese 1-1.
