Parma vs AC Milan preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

Milan is currently in the top three on the table and will want to put pressure on the league leaders. For Parma, this game is a big chance to fight against relegation, as they try to recover from a poor start to the season.

AC Milan have been off to a strong start this season, and they continued with a 2-1 win over Roma last weekend. They are currently third in the table with 21 points from 10 games and are close to the top. The team is unbeaten in recent matches and has not trailed at halftime in any league game this season.

With no European competition in sight, Massimiliano Allegri has his men well-rested to continue their impressive run of form in this fixture.

On the other hand, Parma comes into this match in poor form, with only seven points from their first ten Serie A games. They lost 3-1 to Bologna last weekend, meaning Carlos Cuesta’s men have gone 5 games consecutively without a win.

This game is crucial for both sides. Milan needs a win to keep up their chase for the title and a Champions League spot. Parma, meanwhile, is looking for a result to help them escape the relegation zone and lift team morale during a tough period.

AC Milan have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Parma. They have won four of their last six matches against them. (1D, 1L) . This shows that Milan has generally been the stronger side in this fixture.

However, Parma’s only win during this run came at home in a 2-1 victory in the same fixture last season. That result proves that Parma can be tough to beat on their own ground, even against a strong team like Milan.

Coach Cuesta is facing a tough time with team selection because of injuries and suspensions. Midfielder Christian Ordonez is suspended after getting sent off in the last match.

Several important players are also out injured. These include Gaetano Oristanio (adductor), Jacob Ondrejka (fibula), Matija Frigan (knee), and Mandela Keita (knee).In addition, defenders Alessandro Circati (ankle) and Nahuel Estevez (muscle strain) are doubtful and may not be fit to play.

Meanwhile, for AC Milan, coach Allegri is boosted by Christain Pulisic’s return from injury. However, striker Santiago Gimenez is out for a few weeks with an ankle injury, and Rabiot is still a doubt due to a calf issue. Allegri may use a flexible attack without a natural striker to adjust for Gimenez’s absence.

Parma: Suzuki; Prato, Circati, Ndiaye, Britschgi; Bernabe, Estevez, Sorensen, Ravaglia; Pellegrino, Cutrone

AC Milan: Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Nkunku, Leao

Milan are the favourites due to their stronger squad and better recent record against Parma. However, Parma's home advantage could make it a tricky match, so an easy win for Milan is not guaranteed.

Prediction: Parma 0-1 AC Milan
