Parma FC vs Lazio Match Preview
Lazio travel to the Tardini as they look to keep the pressure on league leaders Milan.
The Biancoceleste were the toast of many because they were really threatening to overtake the establishment of Inter, Milan, and Juventus. However, two consecutive defeats--first one to Roma, second a shock loss to Cesena--meant they relinquished top spot rather anti-climactically.
They take on a Parma side who are on a high after two wins in a row. Antonio Candreva is really hitting his stride for Parma, as they continue to try and stave off relegation.
Prediction: Parma 1-1 Lazio.
Parma FC vs Lazio Match Report
Parma held Lazio to a 1-1 draw much to the joy of Milan, who now are three points ahead of the Biancoceleste.
Hernan Crespo put Parma in the lead with a glancing header from an Angelo cross in the 23rd minute.
However, at the stroke of half-time, Lazio restored parity when Sergio Floccari's header deflected off Luca Antonelli for an own goal. That goal, which came right at half-time, was all Lazio could manage against Parma. The draw will do little to hearten the fans, who must have been dreaming of the Scudetto after Lazio's overwhelmingly superb start to the campaign.
Parma will take heart from the result, as they have collected 7 points out of a possible 9 in the last three rounds.
