Parma – Atalanta

Parma host Atalanta in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides as the season edges toward its midpoint. The home side sit at 17th with just one point from four games, having yet to taste victory and carrying a meagre -4 goal difference after conceding six. Atalanta, meanwhile, sit comfortably in 11th place, sitting on six points after two wins and a balanced 5‑5 tally. The two clubs have already met twice this campaign, with each side securing a draw, adding a layer of parity to a fixture that could see Parma try to claw back from the bottom while Atalanta aim to consolidate their push for a top‑half finish.
