Parma vs. Inter: Match Prediction
Home support does not always help Parma achieve positive results, and the team often loses even against not-so-strong opponents. In their last 13 home Serie A matches, the club has won only three times, while losing seven times during this period. Notably, the team failed to earn points against opponents such as Lecce, Verona, Genoa, and Cagliari.
Inter has recently encountered difficulties in away matches, but it's worth noting that Simone Inzaghi's team had a challenging schedule – facing top-9 opponents for five consecutive league matches. During this stretch, the Milanese won only once, but the victory was crucial for the standings as they defeated Atalanta, a competitor in the title race. Overall, Inter has nine wins in their last 13 away Serie A encounters.
I believe the visitors will capitalize on the opponent's weaknesses and secure three points. My prediction: Inter to win
