Parma vs Inter Milan
An exciting match awaits us here in Serie A as Inter Milan visit Parma at the Stadio Ennio Tardini this upcoming Monday.
The Nerazzurri continue their quest for a championship and they are trying to keep up with league leaders in Lazio and Juventus as they have fallen to third place in the standings with 58 points – trailing by four points behind Lazio and eight points behind Juventus.
Inter Milan continue their solid run since the league’s restart, gathering one win and one draw in their first two matches, although it feels like they should’ve won two straight already.
Antonio Conte’s men missed out on an opportunity to win against Sassuolo last night at home and they will be eager to get back on their feet with a victory on the road.
Parma, on the other hand, have been on a fine run recently as well. After coming from behind to draw level against Torino in their first match, the Gialloblu crushed Genoa on the road last Wednesday.
They are sitting on the eighth spot right now with 39 points, exceeding their expectations for this season. So it will be interesting on how they’ll fare against a top-tier team this time around.
Talking Points
Parma beaming with confidence
When I covered Parma during the first matchday of the 2019/20 season, I was curious to see on whether their recent promotion to top-flight is no fluke.
Roberto D’Aversa retooled his squad during the offseason by bringing in the likes of Hermani, Yann Karamoh, Dejan Kulusevski, and Gaston Brugman.
He has done a great job in managing Parma since his arrival in 2016 by leading them to new heights year after year and by laying a viable foundation for the team’s future.
Parma have defied the odds with their current place at the table. Initially, they were just aiming to maintain their top-flight status. However, they now have a puncher’s chance of getting an Europa League spot.
Their summer signings have been instrumental to their campaign, but the key factor behind it is the emergence of Atalanta loanee Andreas Cornelius – who leads them in scoring with 11 goals and two assists so far.
Cornelius was talismanic against Genoa as he provided fans with a ton of Serie A 2020 highlights here in SBOBET. The 27-year-old striker just became the third player in league history to score hat-tricks in both games against the same opponents.
The Danish forward is also getting some help from Dejan Kulusevski and Gervinho who have recorded 11 goals and 11 assists for this campaign.
Although they haven’t been one of the top scoring sides in Serie A, they make up for it with their decent defence having only conceded 33 goals as of this writing.
Time and time again, Roberto D’Aversa is proving that he is the right man for the job in Parma, and his boys are definitely coming in confident for this weekend’s match.
Inter Milan missing a key piece at the back
Inter Milan remain a formidable side in Serie A, but they would need to string together a couple more wins in order to stay afloat within their expectations.
They are in the lighter part of their schedule as of the moment, so the opportunity to improve their standing is theirs for the taking.
Antonio Conte’s men took care of business in their restart fixture against Sampdoria. However, they let their game against Sassuolo get away from their grasp, ending in a high-scoring draw.
One of their leaders at the back in Martin Skriniar has been meted a three-match ban due to his misbehaviour in the said game.
His absence will be sorely missed come this Monday, so it’s expected that Stefan de Vrij and Diego Godin will try to fill in the void.
History
Parma and Inter Milan have already faced off 47 times prior to this fixture, with the former winning in 15, the latter winning in 19 along with 13 draws.
The Nerazzurri have been superb against the Gialloblu on the road, winning 13 times in their 23 matches total at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
In their most recent matchup together, Parma and Inter Milan went back and forth notching four goals total – with Romelu Lukaku delivering the final blow in the second half.
