The Rossoneri will be looking for a victory against the Crociati in their pursuit to extend the lead at the summit, whereas Parma have ambitions of their own.
Parma (16) will host AC Milan (1) in matchday 28 game of the season on Saturday, 17 March at 17:00 GMT.
The Gialloblu’s recent luck has not changed and they continue to draw matches, with their latest match ending in a 1-1 draw against Atalanta.
Milan will enter the game on the back of a 2-0 victory over Lecce, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Nocerino-c6332 scoring for the Milanello.
Parma
Their latest draw against Atalanta was their sixth consecutive match without a win in the Serie A. Roberto Donadoni’s men have lost two and drawn four of those matches. Their form has not been consistent this season and their below par performances have led to the Ducali languishing above the relegation zone.
The Crociati have not been prolific scorers this season, and have managed to score just above 1.5 goals a match this season.
AC Milan
AC Milan will be looking to make it three consecutive victories in the Serie A, and have won four of their last five matches in the league. Massimiliano Allegri will be hoping that Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores in the match, as Milan have won every match in which the Swede has scored since their defeat against Juventus in November 2010.
The reverse fixture of this match took place in October, with Antonio Nocerino scoring a hat-trick at San Siro.

Players to Watch
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 (Parma)
The former Juventus star will be looking to make an impact in this game, given his eagerness to make it to the Italy Euro 2012 squad. He has not had the best of seasons, but given http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926’s striking concerns, he would be working hard to get noticed.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan)
The Swede is the top scorer in the Serie A this season, and with Di Natale returning for Udinese, Ibra would be hoping to increase his goals tally for the season. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 star has been in scintillating form this season, scoring goals consistently.
Prediction
AC Milan will be too much to handle for Donadoni’s men, who would be gunning to increase the gap between Juventus. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Max-c24993 Allegri’s men would come away with the victory. Verdict: 0-3
