AC Milan vs Parma 16/07/20

16 July 2020

AC Milan welcome Parma to the Stadio San Siro, looking to extend an unbeaten run in the Serie A H2Hs to six games (W4, D1).

A 2-2 away draw with Napoli last time out now means that Milan netted over 1.5 goals in all six Serie A games since the resumption of football in June (W4, D2), as they enter the round two points behind sixth-placed Napoli. Against this backdrop, Milan remain the only side from the upper half of the table to smash a 20-goal barrier at home (19), with just six of those goals coming in the first half of play (31.58%). Yet, the ‘Rossoneri’ have lost only once in seven league home games since the turn of 2020 (W5, D1) and can take confidence from the fact they’ve won six of their last seven top-flight home H2Hs (L1).

Meanwhile, the visitors head to the San Siro on a run of five Serie A games without a win (D1, L4), having conceded over 1.5 goals on each of those occasions. Also, the ‘Crusaders’ have lost two of their last three league trips (W1) despite finding the opening goal inside the first 20 minutes of play in each. Indeed, five of their previous seven Serie A away fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet (W2, D2, L3), which has been the case in their last five top-flight trips to Milan (W1, L4). Confident of scoring here, Parma could be particularly dangerous before the break as 66.67% of the Serie A away goals netted this season arrived in the first half of play (14/21).
