In the 26th round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Milan and Parma will take place on February 22, 2026. The home side are contenders for the title and should be pushing for a victory in this home encounter.
The team from “San Siro” last season had to settle for only the Super Cup, finishing eighth in Serie A and, in the end, losing the cup final. To reclaim their standing, Allegri was brought back to the project. He exited the cup competition early, losing to Lazio, and the Super Cup trip ended with a defeat to the very first opponent, Napoli.
Even in Serie A, Massimiliano started with a 1-2 home loss to Cremonese. However, his side has not lost since then in the league, consolidating second place—only city rivals Inter are ahead. But a draw with Como further increased the gap.
The club from “Ennio Tardini” returned from Serie B in 2024. For starters, they ended up sixteenth with 36 points. Now, under the guidance of Carlos Cuesta, for whom this is his first independent coaching experience, they manage to keep a distance from the relegation zone, averaging about a point per round. In their latest matches, they consecutively defeated both Bologna and Verona.
The ambitious home side averages just 1.64 goals scored per match, but, crucially, they concede only 0.76 on average. Their opponents score 0.72 on average and concede nearly twice as many, at 1.24.
