The latest odds and picks can be found here.
Before Betting On Parma vs AC Milan
An exciting opening round of Serie A action in Italy means that there will be more eyes on the competition this weekend. AC Milan will have an outside chance of winning the top prize in Italy this term, but they will likely need to defend better than they did in their opening fixture of the season against Torino. Milan recovered from a 2-0 deficit to rescue a point after Noah Okafor netted in the fifth minute of stoppage time at the San Siro last Saturday.
Parma were also forced to settle for a point in their opening match of the season, despite taking an early lead through Dennis Man. However, their defensive line couldn’t hang on to maximum points in the final 15 minutes, as Fiorentina levelled the scores in the closing stages. But, plenty of confidence would have been taken from that opening day result.
Milan have an excellent scoring record against Parma, after netting at least once in each of their 16 Serie A matches with their rivals. Meanwhile, the Italian giants have won 29 times against Parma in the top-flight, meaning that they Roma has gained more victories against the home side this weekend. Milan also come into this showdown after going eight without defeat against the Crociati.
Milan has been a relatively strong starter in Serie A across recent history after winning at least once in the opening two matchdays in each of the last 12 seasons. Meanwhile, Parma haven’t failed to win in their opening two home matches at the start of a Serie A season since 2001-02.
