Roma vs Parma Match Preview

Team News

Roma coach Luis Enrique will be forced into making a number of changes to his side, particularly in a defensive sense, as while Simon Kjaer will miss the match through suspension, Brazilian defender Juan is unlikely to recover in time to make the eleven. A further blow is the fact that former Inter Milan defender Nicolas Burdisso faces a lengthy layoff, after sustaining a serious knee injury.

But the good news is that Argentine-born Italian international Pablo Osvaldo is back at full fitness and is expected to partner Fabio Borini in the Roma attack.

Meanwhile, unbeaten Parma boss Roberto Donadoni will be overjoyed by the fact that he will be able to field a full-strength side in the Italian capital.

Form

Roma enter the clash in disarray, as they can’t seem to find any sort of consistency this season, as since thumping Inter Milan 4-0 in early February they haven’t won a game, and in fact suffered a devastating defeat to Siena in their most recent outing on Monday. However, the Romans are unbeaten in their last six home games and will be boosted by the return of prolific scoring-machine Osvaldo.

Donadoni has transformed Parma into a competitive squad since being appointed the coach of the club in mid-January, and he has helped the side remain unbeaten in their last five league games, with two wins and three draws. Parma held Juventus to a hard-fought goalless draw at the Ennio Tardini on Wednesday, and will be hoping to continue to escalate up the ladder in Rome.

Head-to-head

The Romans are unbeaten in their last 13 encounters against Parma in all competitions, and have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last eight games against the side. In the last meeting between the sides in September, Roma scraped a 1-0 win at the Ennio Tardini thanks to a headed goal from Osvaldo.

Prediction

Roma may not be at their best in recent games, but they should get things right against Parma on Sunday. The return of Osvaldo should add some much-needed bite to their attack, as they intend to obtain a crucial victory that would keep them in contention for a possible Champions League spot.

The Verdict:

Roma 2-0 Parma
