The Stadio Ennio Tardini will be buzzing with excitement as newly promoted Parma takes on Serie A giants AC Milan in what promises to be an enthralling clash. Both teams are looking to secure their first win of the season after opening day draws, and this encounter is set to be a test of resilience, tactics, and hunger for victory.

Parma: The Underdog with Grit

Parma’s return to Serie A after topping the Serie B last season was marked by a spirited performance against Fiorentina, where they secured a 1-1 draw. Dennis Man’s early goal had put them in a commanding position, but a late equalizer from Cristiano Biraghi denied them a dream start. Nevertheless, that performance will have boosted the Crociati's confidence as they gear up to face a formidable Milan side.

Under the guidance of Fabio Pecchia, Parma will be eager to prove they belong in Italy’s top tier. Pecchia, who led them to promotion with an impressive points tally, has instilled a sense of belief and resilience in the squad. Although their Coppa Italia campaign ended prematurely with a defeat to Serie B side Palermo, Parma will be fully focused on their league ambitions.

One of the keys to Parma’s success this season will be their home form, especially since they have the advantage of starting the campaign with back-to-back home fixtures. Stadio Ennio Tardini needs to be a fortress if they are to survive the rigors of Serie A.

Key Players:

  • Zion Suzuki: The Japanese goalkeeper was outstanding in the match against Fiorentina, making six crucial saves. His reflexes and shot-stopping abilities will be tested again as he faces Milan’s potent attack.
  • Dennis Man: The Romanian winger will be crucial in unlocking Milan’s defense. With 17 goal involvements in Serie B last season, Man will be looking to carry that form into the top flight.
  • Ange-Yoan Bonny: The young forward not only set up Man’s goal against Fiorentina but has also been a creative force for Parma, registering eight assists since the start of last season.

AC Milan: Seeking Early Momentum

AC Milan, under new manager Paulo Fonseca, narrowly avoided a defeat in their opening match against Torino, thanks to a dramatic comeback. Trailing 2-0 as the game neared its end, Milan’s star signing Alvaro Morata pulled one back before supersub Noah Okafor struck in the dying moments to salvage a point.

Fonseca’s arrival has been met with mixed reactions, especially after Stefano Pioli’s departure. The pressure is on the former Roma coach to narrow the gap with city rivals Inter Milan, who finished 19 points ahead of them last season. A win against a newly promoted side like Parma is seen as non-negotiable for a team with Scudetto ambitions.

Historically, Milan has dominated this fixture, remaining unbeaten in their last eight encounters with Parma, winning six. However, with Alvaro Morata ruled out due to a thigh injury, Milan will have to look to other attacking options to secure victory.

Key Players:

  • Noah Okafor: With six of his seven Serie A goals last season coming off the bench, Okafor has developed a reputation as Milan’s supersub. He will likely start in this fixture, and his pace and finishing ability could be decisive.
  • Youssouf Fofana: The new signing could be crucial in controlling the midfield battle. His ability to break up play and drive the team forward will be key against a Parma side that likes to press high.
  • Christian Pulisic: The American winger adds flair and creativity to Milan’s attack. His link-up play with Rafael Leão and ability to cut inside from the right flank will be a constant threat to Parma’s defense.

Tactical Analysis

Parma: Pecchia’s tactical setup is expected to be pragmatic. Parma will likely line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on a solid defensive structure while looking to hit Milan on the counter. The midfield duo of Adrian Bernabe and Nahuel Estévez will be tasked with breaking up Milan’s play and feeding the wingers, who will be crucial in transitioning from defense to attack.

AC Milan: Fonseca favors an attacking 4-2-3-1 formation, with Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek anchoring the midfield. Milan will aim to dominate possession and use the pace of their wide players to stretch Parma’s defense. With Morata out, the focus will be on getting Okafor and Leão into goal-scoring positions.

Head-to-Head and Recent Form

In the last eight meetings between the two sides, Milan has won six and drawn two. Parma’s last victory over Milan came in the 2013-14 season, highlighting the Rossoneri’s dominance in this fixture.
