Parma vs AC Milan Serie A prediction and stats: Rossoneri seeking first win of the season
Parma and AC Milan face off at Stadio Ennio Tardini after their season-opening matches, in which both teams failed to win.
AC Milan played out a 2-2 draw against Torino at the San Siro. Parma, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw by Fiorentina, extending their winless streak at home to six.
Three predictions for Parma vs AC Milan
Parma 1-2 AC Milan (15/2 with Bet365)
Parma have not won any of their last eight matches against AC Milan. They have only won one of their last five home games against the seven-time European champions. Additionally, three or more goals have been scored in AC Milan’s previous six games.
Noah Okafor to score anytime (15/8 with Bet365)
Since the start of last season, no player has scored more Serie A goals as a substitute than AC Milan’s Noah Okafor, with six of his seven strikes coming off the bench. He’s averaging a goal every 125 minutes in Serie A in that time, with only Gianluca Scamacca and Lautaro Martínez having a better average (min. seven goals).
BTTS (8/11 with Midnite)
AC Milan have scored in each of their last six games, as well as their opponents.
How both teams go into Parma vs AC Milan
AC Milan currently sit fifth in the Serie A standings following a disappointing start to their campaign. Last time out, Torino held the Rossoneri to a disappointing 2-2 draw. Despite having five shots on goal and 56% possession, Álvaro Morata and Noah Okafor found the net. On the other hand, newly promoted Parma are in 11th place. The hosts played a valiant 1-1 draw against Fiorentina last week; Dennis Man’s first-half strike was cancelled by a trademark Cristiano Biraghi free kick.
Parma host AC Milan at Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday at 5:30pm (UK time).
Parma latest team news
Parma may still be without Hernani (calf) and Gabriel Charpentier (flexor) strain, but captain Enrico Del Prato is back in the hosts’ squad following suspension.
AC Milan latest team news
Morata came on as a substitute against Torino despite still not being fully fit after playing in Spain’s successful Euro 2024 campaign. He managed to score but will be unavailable for Saturday’s game due to a thigh injury. As a result, either Luka Jović or Noah Okafor should start this weekend. Additionally, new signings Emerson Royal and Youssouf Fofana might feature.
