Alright sports lovers, get your scorecards ready! And man, what an interesting Serie A matchup we've got today - Parma versus Inter. Time to iron out a few stats before we head to the betting kiosk.
Let's have a look at the guardians of the nets first. Inter's goalie department is crowded with talent, namely, Yann Sommer and his lesser brother-at-arms, Josep Martínez. Sommer, who has had a solid season with a 7.00 rating, has his safe hands to brag about, logging in 6 saves. Martínez, on the other hand, with a 6.5 rating, has made a humble contribution of 2 saves. Looking over to Parma, their guardian angel Zion Suzuki, with a 6.8 rating, has punched 3 saves in the air.
Now, let's take a peek at the chaps in the outfield. Inter look like they're overflowing with quality. The top three we should keep an eye on would be Federico Dimarco, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Lautaro Martínez. Dimarco with an impressive 8.1 rating has been passing with sniper-like accuracy at 80.6%. Çalhanoğlu and Martínez each tucked a goal under their belts with the former splendidly boasting an unrivaled pass completion of 89.4%.
Parma's soldiers are no cupcakes either. Matteo Cancellieri and his 7.4 rating have shown perfection in passing with 100% accuracy. Mateo Pellegrino, though his passing rate seems like it was hit by a truck at 53.3%, redeemed himself with 2 big goals. Emanuele Valeri, keen to improve his 7.13 rating, has an impressive passing accuracy of 81.7%.
Now, if we rewind the tape, we'd see in December 2024 Inter had Parma eating dust with a 3-1 victory. Regular season records are a solid tale as well with Inter leading the game with 20 wins against Parma's meager 5. Looking at the recent results, Inter seems to be on a roll.
So, let's wrap this up here on a rather predictable note.
