The match of the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup “Inter” – “Parma” is scheduled for Tuesday, January 10, at 22:00 at “San Siro” in Milan.
Inter and Parma will meet in the first leg of the Coppa Italia Round of 16 (only one leg is played), a competition Milan have won eight times (including the previous edition, 2021-2022) and the Crusaders, three (last in 2002 year).
Inter, 4th in Serie A with 34 points from 17 legs, come off the back of two controversial results in 2023, a huge 1-0 win over leaders Napoli at home and a surprising 2-2 draw with lowly Monza: 2. away.
However, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi remains confident in the fight for the championship title, so he will field several players in the starting lineup for the match against Parma: “There are games left and we want to get back what we lost. We are the only group with extraordinary fans.”
Parma, 6th in Serie B, with 27 points after 19 stages, is far from the top two positions, where you can climb directly, but has secured a place in the playoffs (3-8 places play for the third place, which can be promoted).
The team led by Fabio Pecchia did not play at all this year, the last game was an away game against Vicenza on December 26, 2022 in the championship.
Parma have won just three and drawn twice in their last 10 matches, losing five, and in the previous round of the Coppa Italia they knocked out Bari 1-0 through Ennio Tardini.
Dennis Man has been announced as part of the Parma squad, while the other Romanian in the squad, Valentin Mykhailo, is still recovering from his latest injury.
In fact, one of Parma’s fan sites is putting pressure on the two Romanians, the most expensive and highest paid footballers in the group.
“Man and Mykhailo, it’s your turn. Pay like stars, eternal promises. It is legitimate to expect more from a player of masculine qualities. Mykhailo’s case is more complicated because he made a difference when he was on the field before the injury,” Parma fans believe.
The two sides last officially met in the 2020-2021 Serie A season, when Inter won 2-1 at Parma in the second leg after a 2-2 draw in Milan.
