Match Information
Match Overview
Parma host AS Roma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on November 21 in Serie A's Regular Season - 12 round, a fixture that pairs a side sitting 16th with one in third place. The league table frames the contest clearly: Parma are looking for results to build distance from the lower reaches, while Roma are positioned among the division's leading group and will want to keep pace at the top.
The most striking factor is the contrast in recent league form. Roma won three of their last four Serie A matches, including a 3-0 home victory over Sassuolo on November 7, a 5-2 win away at Udinese on October 31 and a 4-2 home win over Cagliari on October 27. They also drew 3-3 at Napoli on October 24. That is 15 goals scored in four league matches. Parma, by contrast, have taken four points from their last five league games, with a 1-2 home defeat to Bologna on November 7 following a 3-0 away win at Atalanta on November 2. The Atalanta result shows Parma can produce a strong performance, but consistency has been elusive, with home defeats to Bologna and Torino and a goalless draw with Udinese in the same period.
Schedule context is relevant for Roma, who lost 3-2 at Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League on November 3, between league fixtures. That adds to their workload, though their league results either side of it were strong. The head-to-head record also favors the visitors: Roma won the last three meetings, including a 3-2 win at Parma on May 10 and a 2-1 home win on October 29, 2025.

Neither side has reported injuries, so both managers, Parma's A. Gilardino and Roma's G. Gasperini, should have full squads to choose from. That makes squad depth and tactical selection the main variables. Parma's task is to stem the goals they have conceded across their recent run, while Roma's attack arrives in considerable form.

Team Form Analysis
Parma
League Position: 16Parma Form Analysis
Parma's last five Serie A matches have produced one win, one draw and three defeats, a return of four points. The trajectory is uneven rather than steadily declining. A 0-3 home loss to Torino on October 19 and a 2-1 defeat at Lazio on October 24 were followed by a 0-0 draw with Udinese on October 28, and then the standout result of the run, a 3-0 away win at Atalanta on November 2.
Attacking output has been modest overall. Parma scored four goals across the five matches, three of them in the Atalanta win, meaning they managed just one goal in the other four games combined. Defensively, they conceded six goals, with the Torino and Bologna matches accounting for five of them. The clean sheets against Udinese and Atalanta show the back line can hold firm when organized.
The quality of opposition has been mixed, with matches against established sides such as Atalanta, Lazio and Bologna. The most recent outing, a 1-2 home defeat to Bologna on November 7, underlines a concern: Parma have lost three of their last five and have not found a reliable formula at the Tardini, where they dropped points against Torino, Udinese and Bologna.
AS Roma
League Position: 3AS Roma Form Analysis
Roma's last five Serie A matches yielded three wins and one draw, with 15 goals scored, a measure of how potent they have been in attack. The run began with a 3-3 draw at Napoli on October 24, followed by a 4-2 home win over Cagliari on October 27, a 5-2 victory at Udinese on October 31 and a 3-0 home win over Sassuolo on November 7.
Defensively, Roma conceded eight goals in those four league games, so while the attack has been prolific, clean sheets have been rare, with the Sassuolo match the exception. That makes their games high-scoring affairs. In total, Roma have scored three or more goals in each of their last four league matches.
The quality of opposition has been strong, including a trip to Napoli, and the results away from home, a draw at Napoli and a win at Udinese, suggest the team travels well. Roma also played a midweek Champions League match, losing 3-2 at Manchester United on November 3. That fixture represents additional demands on the squad, but their league form either side of it has remained positive, and the third-place standing reflects that consistency.

Memorable Matches
The head-to-head record shows Roma with a clear edge in recent years.

Venue Factor
