Serie A

Lazio vs. Parma, opposite forms

Lazio are looking to continue their good run, while Parma hope to end a four-game winless streak.

The home side host Parma at the Olimpico on matchday 31, riding a wave of form that has brought them nine points from their last three matches against Sassuolo, Milan, and Bologna. Parma, by contrast, haven’t won since February 22. After draws with Cagliari and Fiorentina, they lost to Torino and Cremonese and now need a turnaround to avoid being dragged into the relegation fight.

The official head-to-head record between the two sides in Rome stands at 35 meetings: 21 Biancocelesti wins (the most recent 1-0 in the 2020/21 Serie A season), 10 draws (the most recent 2-2 in last season's Serie A) and 4 Emilian victories (the most recent 2-1 in the 2009/10 Serie A season).

Lazio have scored in 13 consecutive home matches against Parma, netting a total of 27 goals in that run: the last meeting without a Lazio goal dates back to 20 May 2007 (Lazio 0-0 Parma, Serie A).
