On a Sunny afternoon On Sunday, we would see action from Serie A. It would be 16th place Parma against 5th place Lazio. We would be in Parma, a city in the Emilia-Romagna region. A city known for food and wine Much like many spots in Italy. In addition to that, this city is known for its art, music, and Opera.

The collapse in Napoli seemed to have affected the season ever since. They currently sit near the bottom part of the table and are not that many points clear of relegation. They have rested their laurels on Romanian Winger Dennis Man As he has scored In both of the games in question. They certainly seem to have a Stern test at their disposal. Parma only have one victory in their last five matches. Their victory against Venezia 2 weeks ago was only their first win out of their last 11. Another victory and possible upset against Lazio could go a long way getting their season back on track after several results that ended up not going their way. Meanwhile, Lazio is having an uprise this season. Under Marco Baroni, somehow they find themselves within distance of the top of the table. The former Verona manager who won only 25% of his matches at Verona and only 32% at Lecce seems to be underqualified for Lazio. However, he has taken them to the brink of something special this season. They have seven straight wins in all competitions. They are right up there with the very top teams in Italy at the moment and on top of that is currently near the top of the table in the Europa League as well.

Lazio before Sunday Afternoon, they had ripped off seven consecutive victories. They were one of the hottest teams in all of Europe. They have dealt with practically everyone that has been put in their way. However, it turned out to be a very unfortunate trip to the tardini. They score inside the first 2 minutes only for Rovella to get one of the goals of the Season wiped away. They make a mistake. Dennis Mann immediately hops on it. Then Parma eventually breaks away in the second half before killing it in the end. Lazio for large parts played fairly well. They just could not get it past Zion Suzuki as he had his best performance in Serie A since his move Urawa Red Diamonds After spending last season in Belgium on loan. He turned into the number one at Parma and has been very impressive in most of his performances. However, this probably was his very finest moment. Before they got the second goal, he had to make a double save a jaw-dropping touch that denied Lazio fairly early in the second half. At home, they take down one of the stronger sides in Italy this season. Lazio still only sits four Points outside of first place. This one-off performance shouldn't greatly affect their position. On the other side of things. Parma seems to need this a bit more. The three points they have taken have catapulted them into 11th. It wasn't just Zion Suzuki. The overall attacking play from Parma was outstanding. After the goal was disallowed they got themselves a lifeline and took advantage of it. Dennis Mann scoring in another big game all the pieces stepped up in a big way as we have seen many talented young players come through this parma side this season Tunisia's 19-year-old Anas Haj Mohamed bagging his first goal in Italian football. Zion Suzuki's performances in goal and overall maximize themselves against a very strong Lazio side at home. They'll have a little bit more breathing space in regards to the lower half of the table. Parma handled the business at home with a very exhilarating 3-1 victory over Lazio.
