Parma vs AC Milan: Preview, kick-off time and where to watch on TV and online – Serie A 2024/25
The opening fixture of Matchday 2 of the 2024/25 Men's Serie A season sees AC Milan travel to Emilia-Romagna to the Stadio Ennio Tardini to face Parma, and both will be looking to get their first win of the campaign.
Parma have just returned to Serie A after three seasons away and they marked their return with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Fiorentina, which they would have been disappointed not to have won.
The Rossoneri are no strangers to Serie A but they couldn't get three points on Matchday 1 either. They were disappointing against Torino and needed two late goals to draw 2-2. Paulo Fonseca, therefore, will be looking to collect his first three points this weekend.
Parma vs AC Milan: Predicted line-ups
Captain Enrico Del Prato could feature in Fabio Pecchia's Parma XI this weekend after he was absent for the season opener against the Viola. Yordan Osorio is a doubt to start the fixture, but there is a chance that he could feature from the bench.
The visitors are expected to make a few changes to their starting XI this weekend after their poor opener. Starting up front, Noah Okafor is expected to replace Luka Jovic - Alvaro Morata would have been given the nod, had he not been injured in the Torino clash.
In defence, Fonseca is weighing up two changes - Emerson Royal for Davide Calabria at right-back and Strahinja Pavlovic for Malick Thiaw at centre-back. However, the change in central defence looks more likely than the one at full-back. Additionally, Youssouf Fofana could be given the nod in midfield for his debut.
Parma predicted XI vs AC Milan (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Coulibaly, Del Prato, Circati, Valeri; Estevez, Bernabe; Man, Sohm, Mihaila; Bonny.
AC Milan predicted XI vs Parma (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Okafor.
