Udinese (10th) welcome Parma (14th) in a Serie A fixture where both sides will be eager to climb the table. The hosts have 43 points on the board, while Parma sit on 36 — neither can afford to let standards slip with the business end of the season approaching.

Udinese’s form coming into this match has been solid, averaging 1.9 points per game from their last five fixtures. Defensively they’ve been resolute, conceding just 3 goals in five games, though 7 scored suggests they may need more cutting edge.

Parma arrive in fine fettle, averaging 0.7 points per game from their last five. However, their defensive record is a concern — 8 conceded in five games, a vulnerability Udinese will look to exploit.

The historical record between Udinese and Parma will be on the minds of both managers as they plot their approach. Every encounter adds another chapter to the rivalry, and this one carries its own unique set of circumstances and pressures.
