Milan in search of win against newly promoted Parma.
As newly promoted Parma seek their first win of the season after a resilient draw against Fiorentina, they host AC Milan at the Ennio Tardini Stadium, where both sides are eager to seize momentum in their second game of the new campaign.
Parma
After making their way back to Italy's top flight following a three-year absence, Parma were held to a 1-1 draw with ten-man Fiorentina on Match Day 1. Romanian international Dennis Man placed Parma in the lead with a fabulous left-footed 18-yard strike before an equally wonderful goal from Cristiano Biraghi restored parity at the Ennio Tardini.
Parma take on Milan this weekend, hoping to avoid defeat at home once again. This will be the first time the home side will play two opening games on home soil. Manager Fabio Pecchia could look to the home crowd for the second time in a row in an attempt to unsettle Fonseca’s visiting side.
While Parma has not defeated Milan in their last five games across all competitions (0W, 2D, 3L), they earned a 2-2 draw in a close contest the last time they faced the visitors in December 2020, with Théo Hernandez leveling the scoreline in the final minute. Twenty-year-old forward Ange-Yoan Bonny could sit at the top of Pecchia’s 4—2—3—1 yet again, having done so last time out.
Hernani (calf) and Gabriel Charpentier (muscle injury) are ruled out, while skipper Enrico Del Prato returns to the squad following suspension.
Milan
A late rally saw AC Milan avoid an opening-day defeat at the hands of Torino, who were two goals up by the 68th minute. An own goal from Malick Thiaw and a well-placed header from Duván Zapata left Milan trailing by two.
Álvaro Morata made his Milan debut off the bench and scored his first goal for the club. Then, five minutes into stoppage time, super-sub Noah Okafor struck to level the score, securing a draw that allowed manager Fonseca to escape defeat in his debut.
As Milan prepares for a trip to Parma, Fonseca will be eager to secure his first competitive victory with the team. Milan has historically performed well in their opening games, as well as in matches against Parma, having scored in each of their last 16 encounters.
Luka Jović will continue to lead the attack in Fonseca's 4—2—3—1 formation. However, Morata will miss Saturday’s game due to a thigh injury, and both Florenzi and Marco Sportiello are also ruled out for the weekend.
