SERIE A WOMEN, PARMA v AC MILAN: MATCH PREVIEW | OneFootball

In the first official game of 2026, on Saturday, 17 January at 12:30 CET, AC Milan's Women's First Team will face Parma on the road in matchday ten of the 2025/26 Serie A Women. Following their away victory against Genoa at the start of the campaign, AC Milan now gear up to take on the second newly promoted side in this league: let's take a look at our Match Preview.

LATEST FROM THE PUMA HOUSE OF FOOTBALL The Rossonere are hoping to start the new year on the front foot in their showdown against Parma after they had an ambivalent ending to 2025, which featured a defeat in the Derby but also a win and advancement in the Coppa Italia, once again against Genoa. December had begun with a win on the road against a side from the bottom half of the table, and the Rossonere are hoping to repeat that in January. With Babb and Sorelli still unavailable, Coack Bakker's team will rely on attacking strength, which has led AC Milan to be the third-best attack in the league at the moment, with 17 goals scored in nine games.

Coach Suzanne Bakker gave her thoughts on the eve of the match: "2026 starts for us with the match against Parma, and it's the moment to show that we are more consistent as a team. By conceding fewer goals, we lay the foundation for better performances".

LATEST FROM PARMA While AC Milan's strong attacking prowess, Parma, who are third from the bottom on seven points, have, along with Sassuolo, the best defensive record in the lower half of the table, having conceded just ten goals in nine games. December proved to be an especially difficult month for the Gialloblù, who didn't pick up any points from their three fixtures against Como Women and Lazio twice (in Serie A and the Coppa Italia), all ending in 1-0 defeats. Their only league victory so far was in matchday two against Sassuolo; the two previous encounters in the 2022/23 season also ended with a Rossonere victory, as the Gialloblù were beaten 6-0 on aggregate.
