Inter face Parma to remain at the top

Inter are aiming to continue their march at the top of the table as they visit Parma, riding a wave of five consecutive wins. The Ducali are also chasing points. After defeating Fiorentina, they drew with Sassuolo and are looking to stay as far as possible from the relegation zone.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 34 official meetings between the two teams in Parma: 16 Ducali’s victories (the latest 2-0 in Serie A 2014/15), 8 draws (the latest 2-2 in Serie A 2024/25), and 10 Nerazzurri victories (the latest 2-1 in Serie A 2020/21).

The historic clash between the two teams was on May 18, 2008, last matchday in Serie A: it was 2-0 for the Nerazzurri with Ibrahimovic's brace that sealed the mathematical Scudetto victory for the Milanese and condemned the Emilians to relegation to Serie B.

DID YOU KNOW?

Parma holds the record for opposition players sent off during matches played in Serie A 2025/26: 4, together with Napoli.

The team with the most goals scored (Inter, 38) faces the team with the fewest goals scored (Parma, 12, like Lecce) in Serie A 2025/26.

Inter has scored in 16 matches out of 17: in this championship, only against Milan have the Nerazzurri not scored. No team has done better this season.

COACHES and PLAYERS

Chivu is the ex of the day: he managed Parma last year for 13 matches with 3 wins, 7 draws, and 3 defeats, achieving survival with the Ducali.

With his goal against Bologna, Lautaro Martinez has reached double figures in goals in the championship for the seventh consecutive season. Since he's been in Italy, only in his first season at Inter did he not reach this milestone (2018/19, 6 goals in 27 appearances).
