Parma - Inter Milan Prediction in Round 31 Serie A

Overview

In the last 16 matches in Serie A, Parma have only won 2, drawn 5 and lost 9. They are currently in 16th place and only 3 points above the relegation zone.

The change on the coaching bench, when Cristian Chivu became head coach since February this year, does not seem to have brought too much positive to the home team at Ennio Tardini.

Things are expected to be more difficult for Parma when they have to host Inter Milan, a team that is very hungry for points to compete for the championship with Napoli.

Inter have lost only 1/7 of their most recent matches, with the remaining 5 wins and 1 draw. Coach Simone Inzaghi's team is the best attack in the league and has the second best defense. Inter have also just ended a streak of 4 consecutive away games without a win with 3 points at Atalanta.

Meanwhile, Parma have only had 1 win in the last 5 matches, showing poor form. Head-to-head history also proves Parma's inferiority when they lost 4/5 of their most recent times against Inter.

With superior form and squad quality, Inter is predicted to have an easy victory right at Parma.

With Milan Djuric not fit enough, Ange-Yoan Bonny will be the one to lead the scoring responsibility for Parma. He has scored 6 goals for Parma in Serie A this season.

Meanwhile, Erik Mkhitaryan is expected to lead Inter Milan's midfield in the absence of Nicolo Barella.

Personnel situation

Parma will welcome Hernani back from suspension, but they have a number of key players on the injury list.

On the other side of the front line, Inter could rotate their squad in a match where they are rated higher to win. Barella is suspended, while Denzel Dumfries, Piotr Zielinski, Mehdi taremi and Lautaro Martinez are still struggling with injuries.

Expected lineup:

Parma: Suzuki, Del Prato, Vogliacco, Valenti, Valeri, Hernani, Bernabe, Sohm, Man, Bonny, Almqvist.

Inter Milan: Sommer, Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni, Darmian, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Arnautovic, Thuram.
