Bottom-placed Parma host Roma in their Serie A clash at the Ennio Tardini with Pasquale Marino's side looking to make ground.

Parma defend desperately with Morrone and Paletta battling hard to deny Totti et al space.

Vallani and Gobbi continue to dictate the play in midfield for Roma, and the visitors are well on top.

Cassetti and Mexes combine at the back for Roma, who build patiently with Parma on the back foot.

Dzemalli makes a bright run down the left before cutting the ball back to Marques, who cannot convert.

Riise storms in at the back post to meet a deep cross from Pizarro, but he cannot direct his header on target.

Brighi is brushed off the ball well by Gobbi, and it is a very congested midfield at present.

It's all Roma in the early stages of this match, and Parma are forced on to the back foot once more.

Borriello rises high to meet a deep cross from Taddei, but he cannot get sufficient contact on his header and it drifts wide.

Vucinic fires a low shot narrowly wide of the near post after a powerful run down the left, and that was a fine effort!

Zaccardo gets down the right at pace for the hosts, but his cross is poor and way too deep for anyone in the box.

The first half is underway at the Ennio Tardini, and Parma kick us off with Bojinov straight into the action.

Parma are rock bottom of the Serie A table after seven matches, with just six points on the board, while Claudio Ranieri's Roma lie in 14th place.
