As the final gameweek in the 2024/25 Serie A season approaches, we will soon find out the Scudetto victors, the teams contesting Europe and the teams who will drop down to the second tier. In this game, it is Parma who make the trip north to Bergamo, with the visitors looking for a win to seal their status as a Serie A side next season.
Atalanta comes into the final weekend knowing that no matter what, they will finish the season in third place. They were in serious contention for their first Scudetto if it was not for their dips in form over two three-match periods over early 2025 and mid March to early April which saw them drop 16 points from six games. Overall, however, they should be very pleased with this season, as they have the potential to finish just five points off first place, which can give them a platform to build upon for next season.
Parma, however, have had a very different season to Sunday’s hosts. Although they have been a tough team to beat, drawing 15 times, they have only won all three points on six occasions. Both Lecce and Empoli would need wins in order to leapfrog Parma, however, they would much rather get the job done themselves rather than leaving it to fate.
As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.
The Gewiss Stadium will host its last match of the Serie A season when Parma travel to Bergamo on Sunday 25th May.

Atalanta Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1): Patricio; de Roon, Djimitsi, Kossounou; Zappacosta, Sulemana, Ederson, Bellanova; Maldini, Samardzic; Retegui.
Gina Piero Gasperini is expected to have many players out for this game through injuries or players who are doubts. They are Giorgio Scalvini, Rafael Toloi, Sead Kolasinac, Gianluca Scamacca, Juan Cuadrado, Marco Palestra, and Stefan Posch.
As aforementioned, Atalanta are unbeaten in six, but their last five have featured four wins and a draw. Their one draw was with Parma’s relegation rivals Lecce, and their four wins came against Milan, Monza, Roma, and Genoa.
They have kept three clean sheets in their last six, and will be hopeful to add one more to that. However, with a lot on their line for their opposition it will not be easy. Lookman has two goals in his last three matches, Sulemana has two in his last two and Retegui also has two in his last four, so there are many forwards on form coming into this game.
Parma Predicted Lineup (3-1-4-2): Suzuki; Valenti, Leoni, Circati; Keita; Valeri, Sohm, Hernani, Prato; Bonny, Pellegrino .
As well as coach Cristian Chivu, who got sent off against Napoli, Parma also have many absentees for Sunday. Gabriel Charpentier, Mateusz Kowalski, Yordan Osorio, Valentin Mihalia, Matteo Cancellieri, Mohamed, and Milan Duric are all out.
Parma come into this game with one win, two draws and two losses in their last five. A home victory to Juventus was followed by a draw with Lazio, two losses to Como and Empoli before a holding current league leaders Napoli.
Parma seem to play up against the top sides, so this final day will be very interesting for the neutral, with almost every game having some sort of importance to one team or the other. They have kept things quite tight at the back in recent times, conceding five in those last five matches.
Atalanta have dominated this fixture of late, winning eight of the previous 10 meetings, with Parma winning just once.
Recent Meetings:
It will be a very entertaining match for sure. Parma have a lot on the line and although they will not have their coach on the side, they will be desperate to retain their Serie A status following their three-year hiatus from the Italian top tier. As for Atalanta, as we mentioned previously, they have nothing to play for, and so may use this as an opportunity to potentially weaken their side and rotate the squad, giving young players or squad players an opportunity.
Therefore, our team of betting professionals have gone for Parma to Win as the best value tip for this match. Odds on HighBet of 5.2 will mean a stake of £10 has a potential return of £52.
