At the Stadio Ennio Tardini on 13 December 2025, Parma host Lazio in a Serie A fixture that is expected to be shaped more by caution and structure than attacking freedom.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score – No
This matchup strongly points toward a low-scoring scenario where goals are at a premium. Both sides arrive with limited attacking fluency, while Lazio in particular continue to prioritise defensive control, making a scoreless performance from at least one team highly likely.
Lazio Committed to Control Over Creativity
Lazio’s recent matches have followed a very clear pattern, with nine consecutive games finishing with fewer than three goals. Their approach is built on defensive solidity and positional discipline, often slowing the tempo and reducing risk to a minimum. While this structure has brought stability, it has also restricted their attacking output, leading to matches that unfold patiently with few clear chances. This methodical style is unlikely to change away from home, especially against an opponent that does not push the pace aggressively.
Parma Struggling to Spark at Home
Parma’s offensive problems have been most evident in home fixtures, where creativity and cutting edge have been in short supply. Despite a recent away victory easing some pressure, performances in front of their own supporters remain unconvincing. The team continues to struggle in the final third, finding it difficult to sustain pressure or convert limited chances. Against a defensively organised Lazio side, those issues are likely to be magnified.
