Parma won their first league game of the season, beating Genoa 2-1 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in Serie A on Matchday 5. The result ended a run of four league games without a win for Carlos Cuesta's side and a run of five games without a win in all, and it lifted them to 15th in the table.

Starting line-ups
Parma (3-4-2-1)
Genoa (3-4-2-1)
Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Parma 27%, the draw 37%, Genoa 36%. It finished Parma 2–1 Genoa.
Anyone's game — Genoa are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover plus their control of the ball is not enough to separate them. The draw at 37% is the likeliest single result, lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Genoa at 36%?
Genoa sit 80 points higher on our strength rating — 1593 to 1673. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,669 such games. Genoa sit -0.41 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.4% of 1,378 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally. Genoa hold 7 more possession points (49 to 42 in recent games) across a 80-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,703 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. The 300 most similar past games finished 39–34–27.
Why only 36%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 36% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 37% and Parma at 27%.
Why is the draw the likeliest result?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.0 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 18,230. The goals environment adds 3.8 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Genoa come into this after a busy window — 13 arrivals and 17 departures over the summer. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Genoa are missing 1 regular starter — Johan Vásquez — about 19% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing.
