Parma – Udinese

Parma host Udinese at the Stadio Ennio Tardini with both sides languishing near the bottom of the table – Parma sit 18th with four points from one win, one draw and five defeats, while Udinese are just two places above in 16th, also on four points after an identical record. The home side have struggled to find the net, managing only four goals while conceding thirteen, whereas Udinese have been slightly more prolific, scoring nine but still leaking 16. Given the narrow gap in points and the similar form, the encounter promises a tight battle for the crucial three points that could lift either club out of the relegation zone.
