Comparative Team Statistics: AC Milan vs Parma

Head-to-head: no easy pattern

The most recent meeting in February saw Parma win 1-0 away at Milan, and the one before that finished 2-2 at Parma's place. Go back one more and Parma won again, 2-1 at home in August 2024.

So across the last three meetings, Milan have managed just one point. It's a reminder that recent head-to-head results haven't followed the same script as the current league table.

Parma have found a way to be competitive against Milan before, even during leaner spells.

A big gap in the table

Milan sit fourth with 21 points from ten games, built on six wins, three draws and just the one defeat. Parma, by contrast, are down in 18th with only five points from nine matches, having won just once.

That's a 16-point difference already this season, and Parma's goal difference tells its own story too, with five scored and fifteen conceded in the league so far.

The table points firmly towards Milan, though league position alone doesn't guarantee a one-sided game.

Players making the difference

Diego Moreira has three goals in his last three matches for Milan, while Adrien Rabiot has chipped in with two goals and two assists in five games. Samuel Chukwueze has also added two assists in that same span, showing Milan have more than one attacking outlet.

E. Del Prato x 2

On the discipline side, Milan's Strahinja Pavlović and Parma's Mantovani Troilo and Enrico Del Prato have all picked up two yellow cards in their last five matches each, which is worth bearing in mind without reading too much into it for this specific fixture.

How this one could play out

Milan's home form and current league position suggest they should create plenty of chances, especially against a Parma side conceding freely on the road. But Milan's own defensive record, 30 goals against in 20 matches, means they're not exactly watertight either.

Parma's recent head-to-head results against Milan hint they can be awkward opponents even when the underlying form doesn't favour them. That combination makes a comfortable, one-sided Milan win feel less certain than the table alone implies.
