The Serie A is back in action with another round of important matches this weekend as Atalanta take on Parma at the Ennio Tardini Stadium on Sunday. Atalanta have been impressive this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
Parma have endured a miserable season so far and find themselves in 19th place in the league table. The home side is inches away from relegation at the moment and will likely be playing for its wounded pride this weekend.
Atalanta, on the other hand, have exceeded expectations this season and are currently in second place in the Serie A standings. La Dea were held to a 1-1 draw by Sassuolo in their previous game and will want to return to winning ways in this fixture.
Parma vs Atalanta Head-to-Head
Atalanta have a good record against Parma and have won 13 games out of a total of 27 matches played between the two teams. Parma have managed eight victories against Atalanta and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two Serie A sides took place in January earlier this year and ended in a 3-0 victory for Atalanta. Parma were dismal on the day and cannot afford a similar debacle on Sunday.
