Serie A: AC Milan v Parma Odds and Betting Preview

MILAN, ITALY – Italian giants AC Milan host Parma this evening in their eagerly anticipated Serie A clash at the San Siro. Milan came from 3-0 down their last match to beat Lecce 4-3, displaying an exceptional degree of character in the process. Massimiliano Allegri will be determined that his side build on the result with another victory over Parma tonight, who are currently only two points behind them in the league table. Milan start the game as strong favourites to win, and can be backed to do so at best odds of 4/11 (bet £11 to make £4 profit) with Ladbrokes. Parma, on the other hand, are available at a longer 11/1 with Victor Chandler, whilst the draw is on offer at 4/1 with Stan James.

AC Milan had a terrible start to their season, dropping seven points in their first three Serie A matches. Massimiliano Allegri's side now have the chance to secure their third straight win, however, proving to their fans that their poor run of form is firmly a thing of the past. Milan must do so without the help of Brazilian stars Alexandre Pato and Thiago Silva, however, both of whom are sidelined through injury. Nevertheless, AC Milan will be confident of beating Parma, who have not won at the San Siro since 1996. Parma lost 2-1 against Atalanta at the weekend, and may be intimidated by the ominous statistic that they have only beaten Milan once in their last fourteen encounters. Head Coach Franco Colomba has a full squad to choose from, however, and will be cheered by the return of Argentine striker Hernan Crespo to his team.

In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 8/11 with Boylesports, whilst under 2.5 goals is on offer at 6/5 with Coral. For those punters anticipating a bore draw, however, under 0.5 goals can be backed at longer odds of 14/1 with Boylesports.

AC Milan are likely to start with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Antonio Cassano up front, who have scored a combined total of fifteen goals against Parma in their professional careers. Ibrahimovic is currently favourite to be the first name on the score sheet tonight at 7/2 with Coral, whilst Cassano is on offer to open the scoring at best odds of 9/2 with Skybet. Parma's most dangerous attacking player this season has been Sebastian Giovinco, who has scored five league goals in his six appearances. Giovinco can be backed to break the deadlock at a market best of 14/1 with Bet365.

AC Milan are quoted at best odds of 10/11 with Paddy Power to win the match after leading at half time, whist draw/AC Milan is on offer at 7/2 with Ladbrokes. Draw/Parma is available at 22/1 with Bet365, whilst those punters who think that Parma will fight back to win the game after trailing at half time can back AC Milan/Parma at odds as long as 125/1 with Boylesports.

Kick off is at 19.45 BST
