Parma vs Inter Match preview

Italian Serie A: Parma vs Inter

A moment of truth for both sides; a great clash at Tardini that will decide the champion. Parma are a step away from Serie B; there is only one way to go for salvation and that is by winning the last game of the season and hope that Roma will beat Catania. On the other hand, Inter gambled away a huge lead and now they are anxious and if they don’t win at Tardini, scudetto could slip away from their hands since Roma are expecting to win on Sicily. This is an excellent finish of the season for football fans since it is quite uncertain but that is not so great for Mancini and his side. We suppose that Inter are the only team in the world that can allow themselves to compromise the title in such a way. They expected celebration at cramped Meazza and instead of ovations they saw booing and angry fans. The side that takes the lead twice and miss a penalty are certainly not psychologically stable. It is a well-known secret that Mancini and Moratti are not on so good terms with each other but also the atmosphere among the players is not good. Now Inter will have to win at Tardini and win the championship after all. After that the reconstruction will follow in the squad that didn’t live up to the expectations in the second part of the season.

After losing in Florence, Parma replaced Cuper

President Ghirardi decided to thank Argentinean before the end of the season. Ducali hope that shock-therapy will wake the squad up and give results in the last round of the season. Primavera squad boss Andrea Manzo will replace the coach on the bench. Parma will start the last 90 minutes of the season eager to make a small miracle and win neroazzurri and stay in the league, in case Catania lose, of course. Certainly the chances are slim but there is hope. During the whole season, Parma played below their actual capabilities; many points against weaker teams were gambled away so it is not very realistic to expect salvation in the last two rounds against rivals like Inter and Fiorentina. Ducali took the lead in Florence and that was it. As soon as the home side started playing with full potential, the story was over. The difference in the quality was obvious and Cuper didn’t make any progress. Suspensions and injuries didn’t favour him but it seems that Parma gambled away their chances much earlier.

Inter are scared

Although everyone in the club insists that there is no tension before this decisive match, we can imagine how they feel. Two weeks ago they needed a win to confirm their title but they ended up beaten by Milan and then took only one point against Siena. The team faced serious troubles when it comes to injuries during spring. And Inter are the kind of club where one single defeat brings out all the bad things inside the club. After the Champions League elimination by Liverpool, they were on the front pages but mostly for wrong reasons. There were a lot of problems with the press, and Mancini alone provoked several situations. Many claim that if it weren’t for the referee help Inter wouldn’t have been in the situation to fight for lo scudetto. Some root changes must be made no matter what happens at Tardini. Even the title won’t fix all neroazzurri problems.

Betting Verdict

In the first part of the season, with the great help from the referees neroazzurri beat Parma at Meazza. Now it will be even more difficult but anyway the visitors have much more quality. The thing that favours Inter is the fact that Parma won’t settle with a point and they will have to attack in the second half. In such play va bank usually win. Inter tried to recover Ibrahimovic but it is not yet sure if the Swedish will play. Still, we believe that the visitors are closer to victory and that their quality will decide although Inter are not a psychologically stable squad.

Team news : Rossi, Dessena and Mariga are suspended for Parma. Beside long term injured players, Chivu is also out and Burdisso is doubthful.
