AC Milan vs Parma Prediction

AC Milan have been in fine form since the restart. Stefano Pioli's side have not lost any of their last six league games, and have scored a total of 17 goals during that time. Iconic forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic will lead the line and his leadership will be important.

Parma are not in good form coming into this fixture. They have failed to win any of their last five games in Serie A, and have conceded 11 goals in the process. They will start as the underdogs in this match. Much will be expected from Juventus-bound midfielder Dejan Kulusevski, as well as former Arsenal forward Gervinho.

Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 Parma
