Parma host Udinese with both sides seeking an end to the rot
Parma welcome Udinese to the Ennio Tardini for a Serie A matchday nine fixture between two sides struggling for results. Both arrive on the back of poor runs, with little between them in terms of recent form.
Form guide
Parma have won just one of their last five league outings, a sequence otherwise littered with defeats, while Udinese have fared marginally worse, picking up only a single draw alongside four losses in the same span. That solitary win gives the hosts a slender edge over their visitors heading into the weekend.
Neither club has found consistency in recent weeks, and this meeting offers both a chance to arrest their respective slides before the gap to more comfortable mid-table positions grows.
Head-to-head history
The two sides have a recent habit of trading results. Parma won the most recent meeting between the clubs, a 1-0 away victory in April, but Udinese had the better of the exchanges before that, winning in November 2025, in March 2025 and again in September 2024. Their earlier encounter, in February 2021, ended level at 2-2.
That pattern suggests Saturday's fixture is unlikely to be a formality for either side, with history showing neither team has had the upper hand for long.
