Inter Milan continue their preparations for the new season with a friendly game against familiar rivals Parma on Sunday at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
The reigning Serie A champions beat Crotone 6-0 in their last match and will hope to carry on with that momentum
However, the side have lost their prolific striker Romelu Lukaku to Chelsea, as the Belgian's transfer is set to be made official.
He's the second marquee player to leave the club this summer after Achraf Hakimi moved to Paris Saint-Germain in June.
The side that romped to their first league title in 10 years is slowly being torn apart, but these friendly games are giving new manager Simone Inzaghi the opportunity to work out his tactics and formations.
Parma vs Inter Milan Head-To-Head
There have been 26 clashes between the sides in the past, with Inter Milan winning 14 times, more than twice the number of their defeats to Parma (6).
