Parma vs Fiorentina Prediction: We expect Fiorentina to be on top of their game

Prediction for the Serie A Parma vs Fiorentina match which will take place on August 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Last season, Fabio Pecchia's side entered the top flight with confidence, winning Serie B. In 38 games, they lost four times and conceded just 35 goals - only Cremona had a better defensive record.

Parma has already kicked off the new season. They hosted Palermo in round 64 of the Italian Cup and lost 1:0 to exit the competition.

The Violets won the Conference League last season. In the final, they defeated the Greek side Olympiacos by 1:0. However, they finished eighth in the league. As a result, Vincenzo Italiano has been replaced by former Monza coach Raffaele Palladino.

The Fiorentina squad has also undergone some changes in the off-season. In particular, David De Gea has joined as a free agent. Juventus striker Moise Kean and Lecce defender Marin Pongracic have joined the club. Nikola Milenkovic joined Nottingham Forest on the outbound side, Gaetano Castrovili went to Lazio, and Giacomo Bonaventura joined the Saudi Arabian side of Al-Shabab.

Parma joined the top as the winner of Serie B. Given this fact and the club's glorious traditions, they should not be underestimated. That's why we're not betting on Fiorentina but on goals. Fiorentina's new coach, Raffaele Palladino, played an attacking, combative style of football at Monza, and he will do the same in his new role. Therefore, we expect Fiorentina to be on top of their game in the season's first game. We like BTTS because Fiorentina is sure to score. Still, they will also concede that the departure of crucial defender Nikola Milenkovic should be OK with the quality of their defense.
