Parma vs AC Milan Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Serie A 2024-25
The Rossoneri will once again contend for the title after second-place finish last term.
Parma secured their promotion to the Serie A 2024-25 season on the back of a successful campaign in the second division of Italy last term where they finished as the table toppers to secure promotion. Fabio Pecchia has done an incredible job since stepping in as a head coach averaging two points per game last season.
However, things will be different here as they battle against the best teams in the division. Although they started their Serie A campaign with a draw against Fiorentina on the opening weekend, the team suffered a setback in the Coppa Italia after being knocked out by second-division side Palermo in the first round.
AC Milan were fortunate to start their new campaign with a draw after super subs Alvaro Morata and Noah Okafor brought them back in the game in the final minute to register a 2-2 draw against Torino in the opening weekend.
It was a big let-off for the new head coach Paulo Fonseca who has been appointed to guide the team back to the top of the table. The Rossoneri appears to be a strong team on paper after the recent arrivals of Emerson Royal and Youssouf Fofana who made the moves from Tottenham and Monaco. However, the real test for them comes in the upcoming match which will decide how far they can go this season.

Players to Watch
Dennis Man (Parma)
The Romanian international played a crucial role in securing promotion to the Serie A this season after registering 17 G/A contributions in the second division of Italian football. Dennis Man has also started the new season in brilliant form scoring a beautiful left-footed curler in the top corner against Fiorentina to earn a well-deserved draw. Man will again be a dangerous man for Parma in this match as he can dribble past opponents at ease while also creating chances and scoring goals for the team.
Rafael Leao (AC Milan)
The Portugal international had a brilliant season last term which saw him score 15 goals and register another 12 assists in all competitions. Rafael Leao has developed into an exciting player who can make the crowd thrilled with his pace and trickery down the left-hand side. Oppositions often find him difficult to stop due to his burst of pace and dribbling skill. Leao also has a wonderful right foot as he scores some wonderful goals at the same time.
