Following a bleak December to date, faltering Parma travel to lowly Calabrian club Crotone on Tuesday, determined to halt their recent slide down the standings.
Since their return to Serie A in the summer, Giovanni Stroppa's Crotone team have struggled to compete in the top flight and will start 2021 in the drop zone, whatever the result at Stadio Ezio Scida.
We say: Crotone 0-1 Parma
Neither of these struggling sides has sustained a significant goal threat throughout the campaign so far, resulting in just three league wins between them.
On Tuesday, only Parma's greater creative resources should separate them from a Crotone team that already looks doomed to fail.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Having stepped up a gear in their pursuit of the Serie A-leading Milan clubs recently, Juventus host faltering Fiorentina on Tuesday evening, aiming to end a tumultuous year on a triumphant note.
The Old Lady's final opponents of 2020 have so far failed to respond to the return of lauded coach Cesare Prandelli as they continue to slip perilously close to the drop zone.
We say: Juventus 2-0 Fiorentina
All signs point toward a home win - it just remains to determine the extent of the damage Juventus can bestow upon a downtrodden Fiorentina outfit on Tuesday.
Andrea Pirlo's side may take their foot off the gas if they can secure a safe lead on home turf, as they head into the brief winter break ready for a welcome recharge before greater tests to come.
