Parma vs Fiorentina: A Desperate Battle to Avoid Relegation

This is practically a six-pointer. 17th-placed Parma faces 20th-placed Fiorentina. Fiorentina being in last place, who would have imagined that at the start of the season? This match takes place on December 27th at Stadio Ennio Tardini, and the losing team will be in serious danger.

Parma (17th)

• ●Season Record: 3 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses (15 matches)
• ●Average Goals Scored: 0.67 goals / Average Goals Conceded: 1.2 goals
• ●Recent 6 Matches: 2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses
• ●Recent 3 Home Matches: 0 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses (No wins)
• ●Home Average Goals Scored: 0.67 goals / Home Average Goals Conceded: 1.67 goals

Parma's home form is terrible. They haven't won in their last 3 matches. They score almost nothing with 0.67 goals per game, and they concede 1.67 goals. Even more shocking is that they have failed to win in 80% of their 40 Serie A home matches. The Tardini feels like a curse rather than a home advantage.

Fiorentina (20th - Last Place)

• ●Season Record: 1 win, 6 draws, 9 losses (16 matches)
• ●Average Goals Scored: 1.06 goals / Average Goals Conceded: 1.69 goals
• ●Goal Difference: -10
• ●Recent 16 Away Matches: 13 matches without a win (81%)
• ●Recent 12 Serie A Matches: 92% without a win

Fiorentina is in last place. They've only won 1 out of 16 matches. 92% of their 12 recent Serie A matches have been without a win, meaning they're practically losing every game. It's even worse away from home. 13 out of 16 matches have been without a win, and they've lost by 2 or more goals in 43% of their last 7 away matches. If they're performing this badly even with De Gea in goal, then there's a serious problem.
