Parma v Torino: Hosts level on points with relegation places

Four points from six games leave Parma level on points with the relegation places as they prepare to face Torino, who sit just three points ahead. Monday’s meeting at the Tardini gives the hosts a chance to draw level with their visitors after a 3-0 defeat away to Inter.

Parma have three confirmed absentees. A. Ndiaye is out with a knock, H. Nicolussi Caviglia has a groin injury and P. Almqvist is sidelined by a calf injury.

For Torino, N. Fortini is doubtful with a hernia after starting four of their last five matches. That makes his availability a particular concern heading into this fixture. E. Ilkhan is also questionable through injury, while F. Israel is ruled out with a shoulder problem.

The table places Parma 16th and Torino 13th before kickoff. Parma have won once, drawn once and lost four times in their opening six league matches, with a goal difference of minus six. Torino have two wins, one draw and three defeats, and a goal difference of minus two.

Their latest results offer a contrast. Parma return home after conceding three without reply at Inter, while Torino travel following a 2-1 home win over Udinese. Across the last five matches, Parma have collected one win and one draw alongside three defeats; Torino have taken two wins and a draw, losing twice.

Home and away records put the sides on equal footing in one respect. Parma have recorded one win, one draw and one defeat at home this season, exactly matching Torino’s return on the road. For the hosts, Monday is an opportunity to add to a home return that accounts for all four of their league points.

There has been little separation in their recent meetings either. Across four head-to-head matches since July 2024, each club has won once and the other two games have ended in draws.

Cesare Casadei also approaches a personal landmark: he is one appearance short of 50 league appearances for Torino. An outing against Parma would bring up that milestone.

Kickoff at the Tardini is at 20:45 CEST on Monday, 19 October, in Week 7 of the 2026/27 Serie A season. Parma have the chance to move above four points and put distance between themselves and the relegation places; Torino can widen the gap to their hosts and strengthen their position in mid-table.
