Inter Milan dropped to third in the Serie A standings after the postponement of their fixture against Fiorentina on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri are among the first heavyweights in action this weekend, and they could close the gap on Napoli to a point with a home victory over Parma at San Siro.
The reigning Italian champions will be commanding favorites against the visitors, even though Parma have won two of their last three matches in Serie A.
Odds
As you’d expect, Inter are commanding -515 favorites on the moneyline for this fixture. Parma will be among the biggest outsiders of the weekend in Serie A at +1350.

This will be the first league meeting between the teams since Inter’s 2-1 away win in March 2021. Parma’s last win against Inter was achieved at San Siro in September 2018.
