AC Milan v Parma

Unbeaten in the league in 2013, the hosts are eyeing a share of third place in Serie A as they build towards next week’s showdown with Barcelona in the Champions League. This will make the fixture very interesting to see whom the Rosseneri rest before the big game .

Parma however have been struggling all season and seem to have a major problem in scoring (3 goals in past 5 matches), this making them the worst offensive side in Serie A this term. The hosts best chances of victory is to field a team that can ride over them like the match against Cagiliari.

Midfielder Riccardo Montolivo returns to the Milan squad after serving a one-match ban on Sunday against Cagliari.
Giampaolo Pazzini has still been struggling with a muscle strain

Left-back Kevin Constant is also unlikely to feature due to an ankle problem
Daniele Bonera is also set to miss out with a niggling muscle problem.
Zaccardo could make his offical debut against his former club

AC Milan can't afford not to win this game, they need to claim third position this season to make the Champions League and though this match may effect the outcome of the Barca game, I can't see it making our result against them change. Parma may be tenth by the skin of their ass, but it would be hard to see them beating the hosts.
I predict 2-0 victory.

Predicted Line Up
                      Abbiati
Zaccardo, Zapata, Mexes, De Sciglio
       Flamini, Nocerino, Montolivo
      Niang, Balotelli, El Shaarawy
