Inter Milan could officially crown themselves Serie A champions on Sunday night when Parma visit San Siro, with the Nerazzurri poised to secure their 21st league title in emphatic fashion.

Even if Napoli and AC Milan both win elsewhere, another home triumph would be enough for Inter to finally make the Scudetto theirs with three matches still to play.

Inter Milan

Already widely recognised as champions‑elect, Inter stand on the brink of domestic glory and could seal top spot this weekend. Victory over Parma would render all other results irrelevant, though the title could also be secured should Napoli lose to Como or Milan fail to beat Sassuolo.

Cristian Chivu’s side are also eyeing a rare domestic double, with a Coppa Italia final against Lazio still to come, but first they must complete the job in the league. Their recent run toward the title hit an unexpected bump last week, when a late collapse denied them a fifth straight victory. After winning four consecutive matches while scoring at least three goals in each, Inter were held to a 2–2 draw by Torino.

Federico Dimarco was central to that contest, providing both assists to take his season tally to 17 — a new Serie A record — though Torino’s late rally prevented Inter from maintaining their winning momentum. Even so, Dimarco’s influence epitomises a side that has scored 80 league goals this season, a figure bettered only by Barcelona and Bayern Munich across Europe’s top five leagues.

Inter’s dominance at home has been particularly striking. Their goal difference at San Siro stands at +32, the club’s best at this stage of a campaign since the late 1950s. Parma have not beaten Inter away from home since 2018, a match memorable for Dimarco scoring his first‑ever Serie A goal while representing the visitors.

Team News

There is encouraging news on the injury front. Although Hakan Calhanoglu and Luis Henrique remain sidelined, captain Lautaro Martínez is expected to return from injury, while Alessandro Bastoni could also be fit after shaking off an ankle problem. Bastoni would join several figures with Parma connections, including Dimarco, Matteo Darmian, Ange‑Yoan Bonny and Chivu himself, who began his senior managerial career with the Gialloblù last year.

Up front, Bonny will compete with Martinez and Pio Esposito for a place alongside Marcus Thuram, who is back in electric form. The Frenchman averaged a goal involvement every 46 minutes in April and now has 50 goals for Inter after scoring against Torino. Notably, Thuram has found the net in all three of his previous Serie A appearances against Parma, his father Lilian’s former club.

Parma

Parma face a daunting challenge, having beaten Inter in Milan only once before in league play — a 3–1 victory back in May 1999. Dimarco was again on the scoresheet when they lost the reverse fixture earlier this season, though Carlos Cuesta’s side will hope to mount a stronger resistance this time.

The visitors arrive in confident mood, having secured top‑flight safety through back‑to‑back 1–0 victories over Udinese and Pisa. Those results extended Parma’s solid run of form, with just two defeats in their last 11 league matches, reinforcing their identity as a disciplined and compact outfit.

Defensive strength has been central to their success. Parma boast the ninth‑best defensive record in Serie A and have kept 12 clean sheets, rarely conceding heavily — though this weekend represents their sternest examination yet.

Team News

Nesta Elphege has emerged as an impact substitute in recent weeks, scoring decisive winners against both Udinese and Pisa. Having also provided an assist versus Napoli, the forward has been involved in a goal in each of his last three matches and will hope to earn a starting role.

Cuesta, however, typically favours a 3‑5‑2 system featuring Mateo Pellegrino and Gabriel Strefezza up front.

Parma are close to full strength, with only long‑term absentee Matija Frigan and US international Benjamin Cremaschi unavailable due to injury.

Conclusion

Inter appear primed to begin the celebrations on home soil. Parma have proven stubborn and well‑organised in recent weeks, but containing the most prolific attack in the league at San Siro looks a step too far.

With momentum, depth and quality firmly on their side, the Nerazzurri are expected to secure victory, confirm their Scudetto triumph and formally usher in another title‑winning chapter in their storied history.
