Serie A Week 33 - 23/4/05 (20.30)
Milan-Parma
San Siro
The Rossoneri will be looking to plunge the Gialloblu into further relegation problems while taking another step towards the Scudetto.
After the amazing events of the previous two rounds both Milan and Juventus will be desperate not to falter again in what has been an engrossing battle for the Serie A title. Parma won’t want to merely be a footnote in the story of the Scudetto though, with a very real threat of relegation hanging over them they must cause an upset or face falling into the bottom three. With games against Roma and Juventus to come and a tough battle with Siena they cannot afford to take nothing away from their trip to the San Siro.
Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti faces the club that he revived in the 1996-97 season along with his Tardini pupil Hernan Crespo. On the opposite side, Alberto Gilardino faces the side that has been heavily linked with a summer move for him. Adding to his 17 goals in Serie A would surely improve his chances of a switch to Milan.
However, Parma minds may be drifting towards their UEFA Cup semi-final meeting with CSKA Moscow and Milan will be hard pushed not to have one eye on their Champions’ League semi-final with PSV Eindhoven later in the week.
Milan haven’t lost in their last five Serie A matches at the San Siro while Parma have won just once in their last seven away games. In Week 14 Milan came from behind in the last ten minutes to steal a 2-1 victory, with Kaka and Andrea Pirlo on the score sheet. Parma haven’t picked up a win at Milan since 1996, when Mario Stanic got the only goal.
Milan bring in Kakha Kaladze to rest Paolo Maldini, but the real problems are in midfield. Andrea Pirlo and the suspended Gennaro Gattuso and Billy Costacurta are out, while Massimo Ambrosini and Manuel Rui Costa face injury worries that already forced them to miss Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Chievo. Pietro Carmignani loses Giuseppe Cardone to suspension and has Marco Marchionni, Vincenzo Grella and Stefano Bettarini out injured.
------------------------------
Milan (probable): Dida; Cafu, Nesta, Stam, Kaladze; Ambrosini, Rui Costa, Seedorf; Kakà; Shevchenko, Crespo
Parma (probable): Frey; Bonera, Bovo, Contini, Cannavaro; Pisanu, Simplicio, Bolano, Bresciano; Morfeo; Gilardino
