A seventh place finish could secure Europa League football because Napoli – currently sixth – have already won this season’s Coppa Italia.
However, Parma head into their first home match since the re-start in the knowledge that they lost twice in succession on their home pitch before the suspension of play against high-flying Lazio and then lowly SPAL.
Parma have the eighth-best home record in the competition with six wins, one draw and six defeats – scoring only 17 times at their HQ but conceding only 12 goals.

They have won nine times on the road while drawing twice and losing only twice. Compiling these statistics, they have scored 26 goals while conceding just 14.
