Atalanta v Parma preview: Serie A matchday 10
Atalanta, 12th in Serie A, host a Parma side sitting 17th and still without a point away from home this season.
The occasion and the table
Atalanta host Parma on matchday 10 of Serie A, with kick-off at 19:45 on 2 November 2026. Both sides are looking to move up the table, but they start the evening from different positions.
Atalanta are 12th with 11 points from 9 matches. Their record shows 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded. Their attack has been productive, but their defence has given up slightly more than they have scored.
Parma are 17th with 5 points from their 9 matches. They have won once, drawn twice and lost 6 times. Their tally of 5 goals scored is the clearest sign of their difficulties, while they have conceded 15.
Recent form and home/away records
Atalanta arrive with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches. Most recently they drew 2-2 away at Fiorentina. Before that came a 4-4 draw at home to Frosinone. Before that they lost 0-2 away to Ajax, and prior to that they were beaten 2-3 away by AC Milan. The oldest of the five was a 3-1 home win over Pafos.
Playing at home has suited Atalanta in Serie A this season. In 5 league matches in front of their own supporters they have recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, scoring 11 goals and conceding 8.
Parma's last 5 matches have brought 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Their latest outing was a 0-0 home draw with Udinese. Before that they lost 1-2 away at Lazio, and before that they were beaten 0-3 at home by Torino. Earlier still came a 0-3 defeat away at Inter Milan, while the oldest result in the run was a 2-1 home win over Genoa.
Their away record in Serie A is a concern. Parma have played 4 league matches on the road this season and lost all 4, scoring 2 goals and conceding 9.
Previous meetings
The clubs have met once before, on 25 January 2026, when the match finished Atalanta 4-0 Parma.
Players to watch
Nikola Krstovic is Atalanta's top scorer in Serie A this season with 6 goals. He has provided a significant share of his side's 16 league goals, and he will be a key figure against a Parma defence that has conceded 9 goals in its 4 away matches.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to Atalanta being involved in open matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 5 matches but have not kept a clean sheet in any of them, and both teams have scored in 4 of those 5 matches. Their recent draws with Fiorentina and Frosinone produced 12 goals between them.
Parma's recent matches have been tighter. They have scored in 2 of their last 5, kept a clean sheet in 1, and both teams have scored in 2 of those matches. Their goalless draw with Udinese was their only clean sheet in that run. Their main challenge has been finding the net, with 5 league goals all season.
