"Although Gian Piero Gasperini might have only arrived at the Stadio Olimpico back in June, the Giallorossi have enjoyed a stellar start to proceedings. Last seen over the weekend putting in another gritty performance as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Sassuolo, the former Atalanta boss finds his squad scrapping it out at the top of the Serie A standings."
"Yet to feature over the past month and still dealing with a reported long-term battle against flu, Roma are once again expected to be without one-time Manchester City defender Angelino here. However, aside from the Spanish full-back, the Giallorossi have reported a clean bill of health. Bagging a first-half winner away at Sassuolo over the weekend and now registering consecutive Serie A strikes, Argentinian ace Paulo Dybala will lead the line. Completing a season-long loan switch from Liverpool over the summer, Konstantinos Tsimikas will feature."
"As for the visitors, although Parma might have dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Serie A status in the most dramatic of fashion, Parma should be bracing themselves for another relegation scrap this time around. Despite snatching a 0-0 stalemate at home against Como over the weekend, Carlos Cuesta's side have mustered just a single win"
Roma have produced strong domestic form under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, collecting 18 points from eight Serie A matches and sitting just behind Napoli on goal difference. The team secured a gritty 1-0 away win at Sassuolo and have beaten Parma in five of their previous six meetings. Angelino remains sidelined with a reported long-term flu, but the rest of the squad is fit. Paulo Dybala has scored in consecutive Serie A matches and will lead the attack, while Konstantinos Tsimikas joins on a season-long loan. Parma scraped a 0-0 draw with Como and have managed only one win this campaign, facing another relegation fight.
