Inter Milan would have aimed to put together a winning streak after handing Serie A leaders Napoli their first loss of the season in their first game back following the recent World Cup in Qatar. This would have allowed Inter Milan to gain ground on Luciano Spalletti’s team in the standings.
But in a 2-2 draw with Monza on Saturday at Stadio Brianteo, Simeone Inzaghi’s team took yet another step backward in what has been an inconsistent season thus far. Inter was twice knocked down by Monza.
As a result, defending the Coppa Italia is probably the I Nerazzurri’s best chance of taking home a trophy this year, though they are still vying for their fourth European Cup after being paired with Porto in the first round of the playoffs.
Inzaghi will be motivated to at the very least see his team advance to the final four of Italy’s domestic cup competition as the winner of Tuesday’s match will take on either Atalanta or Spezia in the quarterfinal.
While this is going on, Parma, who finished dead last in the 2020–21 season and were relegated from Serie A, is still nursing their wounds.
The Yellow and Blues impressively earned three consecutive promotions to return to the elite, but their stay was cut short again after three seasons after falling to the fourth tier of Italian football in 2015 due to financial issues.
Parma ultimately placed 12th last season and didn’t appear to be capable of recovering at the start of this season, but they are currently in the playoff mix and on a respectable cup run this time around.
Their first Coppa Italia quarterfinal appearance in eight seasons would occur if they shock Inter at San Siro on Tuesday.
1×2 Betting Odds
We anticipate Inter to have too much depth for their Serie B opponents, despite the fact that Inzaghi is likely to make numerous changes to the starting lineup.
Parma has had a good recent away form, but earning a victory at the San Siro, might be a step too far for the Serie B side!
And the betting market agrees!
Inter Milan, who will likely play their 2nd strongest 11 are still the hot favourites with market odds standing @ 1.25.
Parma will have to give their everything and more to win in this one. And their odds of doing just that makes them the underdogs @ 12.50.
The possibility of a stalemate after the 90 mins are played, stands @ 7.60.
Total goals over/under
The odds that the total number of goals scored will be over 2.5, stands @ 1.40.
While the odds that the total number of goals will be under 2.5, stands @ 3.15.
When a successful top division team like Inter faces a lower division team like Parma, there is bound to be plenty of goal action due to the contrast in quality of the two sides!
The market believes Inter to win this game at San Siro, and they expect them to win big!
