Parma vs Torino

Two poor sides by expected goals: Parma have the weakest attack in the league (4.6), and Torino have conceded 10.0 expected goals with no clean sheets. Parma's new coach Gilardino lost his first game 0-3 at Inter and now gets his home debut. The market makes Torino the favourite at 40.7% away from home, and both the algorithmic model (31%) and our expected goals model (35.8%) think that is too high. We side with Parma on the draw no bet, which also returns the stake on the most likely single result.
