Roma vs Parma preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

It's the first midweek round of the 2025-26 Serie A season, with action across three nights and massive matches that will affect both ends of the table. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 season, and matchday nine sees Roma trying to keep pace at the top of the league as they host Parma. 

The capital city club are currently level on points with league leaders Napoli at the top of Serie A after bouncing back from their defeat to Inter by beating Sassuolo last weekend. 

Paulo Dybala was Roma's matchwinner, as they continue to be the surprise package of the title race. Now they get to address their inconsistent home form as they take on a Parma side with only one win to their name all season.

Scoring goals has been Parma's issue and they head to Rome, and one of the league's best defences, off the back of two goalless draws. While it doesn't promise to be a high-scoring affair, it could provide another twist in the title race.
