Match Information
Match Overview
Parma host Torino at the Stadio Ennio Tardini on October 19 in Serie A Regular Season - Round 7, a matchday where the season is starting to take shape. Parma sit 18th in the table and Torino 12th, so the hosts arrive in the bottom reaches of the standings while the visitors hold a mid-table position.
The primary storyline is the contrast in recent league form. Parma have taken four points from their last four Serie A matches, with a 1-1 draw against Monza on September 6, a 2-1 loss at Como on September 14, a 2-1 home win over Genoa on September 20 and a 3-0 defeat at Inter on October 10. That last result is the most recent in the data and leaves Alberto Gilardino's side looking for a response at home. Torino, under Ignazio Abate, have collected seven points from the same stretch of four league games: a 2-1 win at Fiorentina on September 5, a 2-0 home loss to AS Roma on September 14, a 1-1 draw at Bologna on September 19 and a 2-1 home win over Udinese on October 12.
The secondary factor is the head-to-head record, which has leaned toward Torino in the most recent meeting. Torino won 4-1 on March 13, 2026, though Parma took the corresponding home fixture 2-1 on September 29, 2025. Parma's home matches in this fixture have produced varied outcomes, including a 2-2 draw on March 8, 2025.
Neither club has any reported unavailable players, so both managers appear to have full squads to choose from. Both teams also lined up in a 3-4-2-1 in their last games, which suggests a similar structural matchup.
With Parma looking to close the gap on the teams above them and Torino aiming to build on a home win, the match carries clear significance for both sides at this early stage.

Team Form Analysis
Parma
League Position: 18Parma Form Analysis
Parma's recent results show an inconsistent trajectory. Across their last five matches in all competitions they have recorded one win, one draw and three defeats. In Serie A the sequence reads draw, loss, win, loss, and the most recent result was a 3-0 away defeat at Inter on October 10.
Attacking output has been modest. In the four league matches Parma have scored four goals, with a 2-1 win over Genoa on September 20 the high point. They were also shut out 3-0 at Inter and 2-0 in the Coppa Italia Round of 32 against Cremonese at home on September 1, a cup fixture worth noting only as part of the early-season schedule.
Defensively, Parma have conceded in every league match listed, allowing seven goals across four games. The heaviest concession came at Inter, while two other games ended with a single goal against, in the draw with Monza and the win over Genoa.
The opposition has varied, with a trip to Inter the most demanding fixture. Parma's only league victory came at home, which may offer some encouragement heading into this match at the Tardini.
Torino
League Position: 12Torino Form Analysis
Torino's form is more encouraging, particularly in Serie A, where they have won two of their last four, drawn one and lost one. Their most recent result was a 2-1 home win over Udinese on October 12.
Attacking output has been steady. Torino scored in three of those four league matches, with five goals in total. Two of those came in the win at Fiorentina on September 5 and two more against Udinese, while the 1-1 draw at Bologna on September 19 showed they can find a goal on the road against a strong opponent.
Defensively, they have conceded four league goals in four matches. The 2-0 home loss to AS Roma on September 14 was the only game in which they failed to score, and it was also their heaviest defeat in the league sequence. Before that, a Coppa Italia Round of 32 home defeat 1-0 to Monza on September 1 is the other loss in the data, shown here as part of the early-season schedule.
The opposition has included Fiorentina, Roma, Bologna and Udinese, a reasonably varied set of opponents. Taking seven points from them and winning away at Fiorentina suggests Torino arrive in decent shape for the trip to Parma.
