Parma vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting Tips (24 August)

Having just returned to SA following its SB title last season, Parma managed to hold off the finalist of the last two editions of the Europa Conference League, Fiorentina 1-1, last weekend for the first time daytime. The cursor goes up a notch today for the reception of the 7 times winner of the Champions League. We will not forget to remember that before starting the championship, the former club of Gigi Buffon, retired for a little over a year, was eliminated from the Italian Cup, at home, through of Palermo, an opponent he knew well due to playing alongside him last season in the 2nd division 0-1. On the other side of the median, AC Milan were probably hoping for much better than a share of points at home against Torino 2-2 on the first day.

However, to set the context, the Milanese have especially come a long way. Indeed, they lost two goals to nothing until the 89th minute and the revival of the rookie, Alvaro Morata then the equalizer of the Swiss international Okafor in stoppage time 95". Last year, the Rossoneri finished in the 2nd spot, light years behind their neighbors, Inter Milan, 19 points apart but they will participate in the Champions League this season. 

There are significant absences to note among the Parmesans with at the top of the list, Adrian Benedyczak (10 goals, 3 assists in SB last season), midfielder Charpentier (4 goals, 3 assists), defender Di Chiara ( 25 appearances in SB), or the Brazilian Hernani (3 goals, 3 offerings last year), the central holder in the Italian Cup, Osorio and Anthony Partipilo (3 goals last season). Announced absent for the start of the season, Frenchman Ange-Yoan Bonny (5 pawns, 7 assists last year in SB) was finally in the mix. Arriving from Frosinone this summer, Valeri made his league debut during J1, the same for the established goalkeeper Zion Suzuki (ex-Satin-Trond) while the young Polish U17 international, Daniel Mikolajewski did not leave the bench. Arriving on loan in recent weeks, Matteo Cancellieri (Lazio) obtained minutes like Pontus Almqvist (arrived free from Rostov after a 2-goal season with Lecce). Already thunderous last year in the 2nd division, Dennis Man (11 goals, 6 goals) has already opened his personal account during J1 against Fiorentina. Finally we can announce that the main architects of the rise remained at the club during the summer (for the moment). Note, however, that left-back Ansaldi (37) did not have a contract extension on the table and that midfielder Juric (Valladolid) and striker Tutino (Cosenza), already on loan last year, are definitely left.

On the Milan side, note that the right side and former Parisian, Florenzi (1 goal, 4 assists last year) remains injured, like Mikey's replacement goalkeeper, Sportiello. Note that Pulisic was announced as uncertain for the start of the school year but the American finally held his place as a starter behind Jovic and alongside Leao, who would be announced on the departure for Barcelona or the former Villarreal, Chukwueze . Furthermore, in recent hours, it is the French defender Kalulu who left for Juve, on loan. He thus added his name to the list of deserters like Daniel Maldini (permanently sent to Monza), Luka Romero (Alaves), Simic (transfer, Anderlecht), the veteran Kjaer, the elements already loaned last year like Krunic (Fenerbahce ) and De Ketelaere (Atalanta), and the top scorer in the history of the France team, Oliver Giroud (free, LAFC). On the other hand, arrived at San Siro, the European champion with La Roja this summer, Morata (Atlético Madrid), already a scorer for his first in the championship, the French midfielder Youssouf Fofana (Monaco), the Brazilian full-back Emerson Royal (Tottenham ) without forgetting the young crack Matteo Dutu (Lazio, transfer, absent from the match sheet during J1 against Toro). Absent from the scoresheet against Toro, young recruits Fall and Alejandro Jimenez (Real Madrid) will probably play with the reserves before taking their first steps with the A.
