Parma vs Inter prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-06 19:45.
[p]Parma’s bid to move into a congested mid-table in Serie A faces a stern test when they host pre-round Serie A leaders Inter Milan, whose lead at the top after last weekend leaves little scope for dropping points.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Parma’s cushion to the relegation zone stands at six points ahead of this midweek round after they were held to a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on Saturday. A return of ten points from their last six league games is still an incredibly positive one for Parma, who have scored a joint-league low 12 Serie A goals this term, a feat that has held them back from residing further up the Serie A table. A lack of goals has held them back at home too, with their nine home points this term (W2, D3, L4) ranking amongst the worst in Serie A, but a 1-0 win over Fiorentina in their last fixture here gives Carlos Cuesta’s men a chance to post their first consecutive home top-flight victories since January 2020.[/p]
[p]Inter started 2026 in a similar way to how they ended 2025 in Serie A, beating Bologna 3-1 to secure a fifth consecutive league win and move back to the summit. The title race is too close to call with only two points separating the top-three teams coming into this round, but the Nerazzurri will feel 12 victories from their last 14 league games (L2) leave them well placed to stay the distance this season after just coming up short last term. Some solid travelling form should only boost those hopes too, as Cristian Chivu’s men have won six of their last seven away league games ahead of his return to the side he managed before Inter poached him from in the summer.[/p]
