AC Milan goes against Parma Calcio with both squads aiming to finally earn a win in their Serie A campaign. These two squads opened their 2024-25 Serie A campaign without a win, earning draw form their opener. Milan had a 2-2 draw against Torino during their opening match, giving them a single point. However, Milan does not want that, as they aim for all the maximum points, to have a better place in the league table. On the other hand, Parma also did not have a good opener during the first matchday in the Serie A. Parma had a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina, giving them one point, but are also aiming for the maximum point here. The meeting between these two teams is on August 25, 2024, at 12:30 AM (GMT+8).
AC Milan
Noah Okafor, Milan’s’supersub’, saved his side’s game last week after a draw against Torino. New boss Paulo Fonseca is focused on narrowing the gap to city rivals Inter Milan, who finished 19 points behind last season. The Rossoneri have always produced at least one win from their first two league fixtures, and only one Milan manager has failed to win either of his first two matches in charge. Milan have unbeaten in the teams’ last eight encounters, winning six, suggesting Fonseca should have few problems in getting off the mark. The Lombardy club’s dominance over Parma suggests he should have few problems in getting off the mark, as Milan have unbeaten in the teams’ last eight encounters.
Alvaro Morata, Milan’s main summer signing, will miss Saturday’s game with a thigh injury. Luka Jovic or Noah Okafor should start, with Okafor scoring more Serie A goals as a substitute since last season.
Parma Calcio
Parma, the underdogs in the Serie A match against Milan, may still hope to cause an upset by starting the season with back-to-back home matches. They have conceded at least one goal in their last 16 league meetings, with an average of 2.4 per game. Their top-flight comeback against Fiorentina resulted in a point, thanks to a Cristiano Biraghi free kick. Head coach Fabio Pecchia is expected to keep them afloat, having averaged two points per game last term. Despite a first-round exit from the Coppa Italia, last week’s result should boost confidence before the visit of a Calcio giant.
Newcomers Emerson Royal and Youssouf Fofana may play in the match, but French defender Pierre Kalulu has left San Siro for Juventus. Parma may still be without Hernani and Gabriel Charpentier, but captain Enrico Del Prato is back. Dennis Man and Ange-Yoan Bonny will play in the final third.
