Fiorentina – Parma

Fiorentina host a struggling Parma side in what promises to be a decisive clash at the Artemio Franchi. The Viola sit 15th with three points from four games, having secured a solitary win while conceding 11 goals, a deficit that will need to be tightened if they are to climb out of the relegation zone. Parma, languishing in 17th place, have managed only a single point from a draw and three defeats, scoring twice and allowing six, highlighting the urgency of a turnaround. Both teams enter the encounter with limited momentum, and a positive result could prove pivotal for their survival hopes. The fixture also offers Parma a chance to close the gap on Fiorentina and potentially leapfrog them in the lower reaches of the table.
