Atalanta will welcome Parma to Gewiss Stadium in their final Serie A match of the season on Sunday. The hosts are set to finish third in the standings, irrespective of the match's outcome. The Crociati are not yet safe from relegation and need at least a point from this match to retain their top-flight status. Even if they suffer a defeat here, they'll be safe if Lecce drop points against Lazio.
La Dea extended their unbeaten streak in all competitions to six games with a 3-2 away win over Genoa last week. Mateo Retegui scored his 25th goal of the league campaign while Daniel Maldini and Ibrahim Sulemana were also on the scoresheet in the second half.
The visitors are winless in their last four league games and ended their losing streak after two games last week as they were held to a goalless draw by Napoli.

Atalanta vs Parma Prediction
La Dea have won their three league games in May thus far, scoring nine goals, and will look to conclude their campaign on a winning note. They have won their last four home meetings against Parma while keeping clean sheets, and are strong favorites.
Gianluca Scamacca, Giorgio Scalvini, Rafael Tolói, Sead Kolasinac, and Juan Cuadrado remain sidelined, while Stefan Posch will undergo a late fitness test. Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to field a strong starting XI here.
The Crociati had defeated Juventus last month but are winless in their last four games, failing to score in two. They are winless against the hosts since 2014, though that win was registered away from home.
Mateusz Kowalski, Valentin Mihaila, Gabriel Charpentier, Yordan Osorio, and Matteo Cancellieri are confirmed absentees for the visitors. Nahuel Estévez and Alessandro Vogliacco should start from the bench, while Dennis Man is a major doubt.
The hosts have been the dominant side in recent meetings against the Crociati, and should be able to record a comfortable win.
