Overview
Inter Milan are on a 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions, including 10 wins. In Serie A, they have the second best attack in the league with 31 goals (after Atalanta, 36 goals).
Overall, the reigning Serie A champions are still showing stable form this season and still have a chance to defend their title.
With the top 5 teams in Serie A separated by only 4 points, every point is extremely important at this time. Hosting Parma at home will be a good opportunity for Inter to accumulate points, thereby continuing to chase Napoli.
Parma surprisingly ended Lazio's winning streak last weekend. Despite only having 28% possession, Parma still managed to score 3 goals against one of the most in-form teams in Serie A.
Parma's victory over Lazio took place at their home ground Ennio Tardini. Meanwhile, in away matches this season, Parma has only had 1 victory, the rest are 4 draws and 1 defeat.
Traveling to Giuseppe Meazza, where Inter have won 7, drawn 2 and lost 1 this season, is still too big a challenge for Parma.
Marcus Thuram is Inter Milan's top scorer with nine goals in Serie A this season. The French striker is expected to continue his scoring streak against Parma.
Meanwhile, Parma will be looking to Dennis Man, a striker who has scored four goals so far.
In terms of head-to-head record, Inter Milan have won 21, drawn 14 and lost 16 of their last 51 matches against Parma. The most recent meeting between the two teams took place in the Coppa Italia in 2023, ending with a score of 2-1 in favour of the Nerazzurri after extra time.
Human resources situation
Inter Milan are without Carlos Augusto, Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard, who are all sidelined through injury. They are likely to stick with the same starting line-up as they did against Fiorentina.
On the other side of the front line, midfielder Nahuel Estevez impressed in the win over Lazio and could be on the field from the start.
Expected lineup:
Inter Milan: Sommer, Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglou, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Martinez, Thuram.
Parma: Suzuki, Valeri, Balogh, Leoni, Delprato, Sohm, Estevez, Cancellieri, Haj Mohamed, Man, Charpentier.
The match between Inter Milan and Parma takes place at 0:30 am on December 7 (Vietnam time).
