The Rossoneri, led by Allegri, come into the match after a home win over Roma and will look to extend their unbeaten run in Serie A.

As kick off approaches, here is our Match Preview.

LATEST FROM MILANELLO AC Milan approach this fixture in good form, having beaten Roma 1–0 after draws with Pisa and Atalanta. The Rossoneri have shown defensive solidity, conceding just seven goals in Serie A so far. There’s also positive news from the medical centre, with Christian Pulisic back in the squad after missing several weeks. The team aim to stay among the league’s frontrunners, though Santiago Gimenez and Adrien Rabiot remain out.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri said ahead of the game: “Playing in Parma is never easy – they’re a team that makes you work hard. We’ll need to stay sharp technically and take our chances, keeping focus throughout. It’s important to get a result, as we haven’t won away since Udine. We must improve our play in the final third and our finishing.”

LATEST FROM PARMA Parma are enduring a more difficult spell, having lost their last two league matches against Roma and Bologna, and currently sit near the bottom with seven points. However, they’ve been stronger at home: five of those points have come at the Tardini. Forwards Cutrone and Pellegrino remain key threats. Cuesta will be without the suspended Ordoñez and several injured players: Almqvist, Circati, Estevez, Frigon, Ondrejka, Oristanio, and Valeri.

Speaking before the match, Carlos Cuesta said: “We’ll approach the game in the same way as always: with intensity, organisation, and full commitment. I expect AC Milan to be aggressive at times and patient at others. I want to see my team move as one and in the same direction.”
