Roma: 

Roma will be hoping to build on their Coppa Italia victory over Sampdoria when they host Parma at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. The Giallorossi have had a torrid run in Serie A, winning just four of their 16 matches so far, with seven defeats in their last nine league games. Their 2-0 loss to Como last week highlighted their ongoing struggles, and interim coach Claudio Ranieri will be feeling the pressure to turn things around quickly. Despite their domestic woes, Roma have kept their European hopes alive and will face AC Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in February. However, their Serie A form is alarming, with the team sitting just outside the relegation zone as they approach the halfway point of the season. Roma's home form, though, offers some solace – they have not lost to Parma at home in Serie A since 1997, with 16 wins and four draws in that period. A loss here would be unthinkable for the capital club, who will be desperate for a much-needed three points.

Parma: 

Parma, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats when they travel to the capital. The newly-promoted side has shown resilience but is struggling defensively, as seen in their 3-2 loss to Hellas Verona last time out. With one of the leakiest defenses in Serie A, Parma have conceded the most shots in the league and are vulnerable at the back. Despite their defensive frailties, they have an attacking threat, with Simon Sohm's brace against Verona showing they can score goals. However, their poor defensive record could be their undoing against Roma, who, while struggling in attack, will fancy their chances to exploit Parma’s weaknesses. Parma’s record against Roma isn’t great, with only 39% of their encounters resulting in victories, and they’ll need a strong performance to avoid their third consecutive loss. The stakes are high for Fabio Pecchia’s side as they aim to keep their survival hopes alive.
