Parma vs Lazio: Serie A Match Preview and Lineups

The highly anticipated Serie A match between Parma Calcio 1913 and Lazio took place on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in Parma, Italy. The match kicked off at 9:00 am ET/6:00 am PT for American viewers.

Lazio, currently just one point behind league leaders Napoli, entered the match with high stakes, as they aim to stay in the hunt for the Serie A title. The Rome-based side had been on an impressive winning streak, securing five consecutive Serie A victories before a midweek draw. During this run, Lazio netted 14 goals while conceding only twice, highlighting their strong defensive and attacking capabilities.

Parma, managed by Marco Baroni, has shown a tendency to find their rhythm late in games, leading the league in goals scored during the final 30 minutes of play this season. However, historically, Parma has struggled against Lazio, losing each of their last nine matches and conceding 21 goals in those encounters.

The confirmed lineups for the match saw Ivan Provedel return in goal for Lazio, with Manuel Lazzari, Alessio Romagnoli, and Mario Gila forming the back four. The attacking department included Gustav Isaksen, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Mattia Zaccagni, and Taty Castellanos. For Parma, the lineup featured Zeno Suzuki in goal, with a defensive line of Woyo Coulibaly, Edoardo Del Prato, Riccardo Leoni, and Emanuele Valeri. The midfield and attack included players like Matteo Cancellieri, Dario Man, and Adrian Bonny.

Parma, sitting in 15th place, had no risk of slipping into the relegation zone this weekend but aimed to disrupt Lazio’s title ambitions. Lazio’s absence of key players such as Nuno Tavares and Gaetano Castrovilli could impact their performance, while Parma welcomed back Hernani from injury.
