Latest football review Parma vs Como
Parma have improved their defence significantly under coach Cristian Chivu and have become harder to break down, but they are still in danger of staying in Serie A. A win on Friday – plus a few positive results from other games – could see the Emilia-Romagna side officially secure safety.
Under Chivu, Parma have drawn six of their first nine games, winning two and are now seven points clear of the relegation zone with four games remaining.
They have had an impressive run of form, holding title contenders Inter Milan to a draw, continuing to trouble Fiorentina, then beating Juventus 1-0 at home at the Stadio Tardini. Most recently, Parma got a point away at Lazio in a 2-2 draw, despite leading 2-0 thanks to a Jacob Ondrejka brace but conceding two late goals.
Despite not winning away from home since November (against Venezia), Parma are relying on their home form to keep them a safe distance from the bottom of the table, having gone unbeaten in their last four games at the Tardini since Chivu replaced Fabio Pecchia.
A year after both teams were promoted from Serie B, Parma and Como face off again. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Sinigaglia. Parma are now unbeaten in 15 consecutive home games against Como, winning nine of those games – and they will be hoping to extend that positive run.
While Parma are in good form, Como are on a strong run of form, having just won four consecutive Serie A games – something that has only happened once before, in 1952. They have never won five consecutive games in Italy’s top flight, and Cesc Fabregas and his team have the chance to make history.
An impressive run of wins over Monza, Torino, Lecce and Genoa – conceding just one goal – has seen Como move up to 11th and keep alive their hopes of finishing in the top 10.
After young talent Assane Diao suffered a serious injury, Gabriel Strefezza returned to the starting lineup and immediately scored the decisive goal in the win over Genoa. Under Fabregas, Como played with high intensity, being one of the three teams that scored the most goals from transition pressing situations (6 goals), equal with Napoli and Inter.
Remarkably, they have scored in each of their last five away games – with six in their last two – and will now be aiming to take all three points against Parma to cement their place in the top 10.
