Reigning Serie A champions Inter take on out-of-sorts Parma in the first matchday after September’s international break. Saturday’s clash at San Siro will also mark the beginning of a new era for the Crusaders.
Reigning Serie A champions Inter host Parma at San Siro on Saturday following the September international break. Manager Cristian Chivu's side sits tied at the top of the table after winning four of their opening five league matches, driven by back-to-back braces from forward Lautaro Martinez. Parma enters the contest with just one win in five matches as new head coach Alberto Gilardino makes his managerial debut following the departure of Carlos Cuesta.
Inter will be without injured players John Stones and Curtis Jones, although midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has regained match fitness. Parma travels without Pontus Almqvist and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, while forward David Romero is fit to lead their attack. Inter enters the fixture unbeaten in their last nine Serie A meetings against Parma, and The Cult of Calcio predicts a home victory for the Nerazzurri.
