On Saturday evening Inter Milan plans to defeat Parma while trying to increase their Serie A points lead to six points as they pursue Scudetto championship victory.
Inter will try to win the treble championship next month because they face a match against title rival Napoli just two days before them.
During their recent Coppa Italia clash with AC Milan Inter managed to secure an important draw in their semi-final first-leg performance at San Siro Stadium.
The match was kicked off by Parma City's Tammy Abraham who netted an efficient strike but Inter equalized through Hakan Calhanoglu's trademark free kick execution from the distance.
Into the matchup arrived Antonio Candreva to score against his previous team as Inter earned their just result after multiple Mike Maignan saves before his supporters felt dissatisfied by their four consecutive ties against AC Milan since the season started.
The upcoming challenges for Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich will be preceded by Serie A matches against Parma, Cagliari and Bologna as well as the second leg against Inter on April 27th.
The Italian leaders made their position at the top stronger by defeating Udinese 2-1 at home in their match before the break as Inzaghi planned changes to handle the upcoming demanding schedule.
With three points leading Napoli in the league standings, the Nerazzurri now control their own destiny to extend the lead up to Antonio Conte's Bologna team's match.
Despite taking all eight points from the previous eight games and preserving seven clean sheets, Inter has only won one of their past five road games in Serie A. They will thus be determined not to make the same mistake twice at Stadio Tardini.
In the 18 league encounters between these teams in Parma so far this century, there have been seven victories apiece and four draws; however, Inter has won each of their past three trips.
Actually, the last time the hosts defeated the Nerazzurri anywhere was in September 2018, when Federico Dimarco, a current Inter star, scored his maiden Serie A goal while still sporting the Gialloblu shirt.
This weekend, former Inter defender and academy coach Cristian Chivu will head his new squad at the Tardini in another cross-over between the clubs.
Parma has avoided defeat in four of its five games under Chivu, which is as many as they have avoided in the last 13 games of Fabio Pecchia's tenure, following draws with relegation rivals Monza and Hellas Verona on each side of the international window.
They are now three points above the drop zone and have a solid chance of avoiding an instant return to Italy's second division, where they won last season.
