Nineteen points for Parma, four less for Venezia, who will want to win to catch up

Parma and Venezia will face off at the Tardini at 15:00 CET in a very delicate salvation match.

Parma, currently safe, will host Venezia to get back to winning ways after last week`s defeat against Genoa and to stay out of the relegation zone.

Also in need of the three points are Venezia, who have picked up one point against Empoli in their last three, losing narrowly to both Napoli and Inter. The aim is to shorten the gap and get closer to the salvation zone.

HEAD TO HEAD

Parma are unbeaten in seven Serie A matches against Venezia (W5 D2); among teams against which they have never lost in the top-flight, only against Cremonese have they played more games (eight).

Parma have won their last five matches against Venezia in Serie A, scoring 13 goals in the period (2.6 per game on average; only against Bari they ever achieved more consecutive wins in their history in the top flight (six between 1999 and 2009).

Despite Venezia having scored in each of their three away matches against Parma in Serie A, the Venetians have earned just one point in these three away games (four goals for the Venetians, seven for the Emilians). The two teams will face each other at the Tardini stadium in the top-flight for the first time since 5^th May 2002, 22 years and 259 days ago (2-1 win for Parma).
