Milan-Parma, le probabili formazioni: Conceicao studia una novità (LaPresse) – MilanLive.it
AC Milan are fresh from their Champions League victory against Girona and intend to repeat in Serie A against Parma. Winning the 3 points is crucial to not lose further contact from the fourth place in the standings. It is forbidden to fail.
In the first leg at the Ennio Tardini stadium, the Rossoneri, then coached by Paulo Fonseca, incredibly lost to the newly promoted team led by Fabio Pecchia. It is necessary to avoid repeating a misstep. A success would also be good for the morale of a group that is certainly not going through an easy period and that can boost its confidence thanks to victories. The San Siro crowd, albeit in protest against the ownership and management, could still give the players a boost toward winning the 3 points.
Conceicao e Pecchia, le scelte per Milan-Parma
As for the lineup, Conceicao is not expected to present any particular surprises in defense. In front of Mike Maignan should act Davide Calabria, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez. Emerson Royal and Malick Thiaw are out due to injury, as are Alessandro Florenzi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

In midfield, both Ismael Bennacer and Tijjani Reijnders seem sure to play, while there is some doubt about Youssouf Fofana. The former Monaco man is under a caution and in the next Serie A fixture there is a derby against Inter and his absence would be heavy. Should the Frenchman sit on the bench in Milan-Parma, Yunus Musah would play in his place.
In the offensive trident we should see Christian Pulisic starting again on the right, a key return. On the left, Rafael Leao, author of the winning goal against Girona in the Champions League, is confirmed. In the role of striker Alvaro Morata remains ahead of Tammy Abraham. The Spaniard has been no small amount of criticism recently and must try to respond by scoring goals.
Pecchia will deploy his Parma side with a 4-2-3-1. In front of Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki will act the quartet Delprato-Valenti-Vogliacco-Valeri. In the midfield there will certainly be Simon Sohm, while for the other place there is a Camara-Keita ballot. On the offensive flanks will act Dennis Man and Valentin Mihaila, with Hernani a trequartista. Newcomer Milan Djuric will be the first forward.
