Italian Serie A football betting – Parma vs AC Milan
A few weeks ago, it seemed as if the Serie A title race could have only one outcome. Inter held a double-digit points lead over their rivals, with whom they share a stadium, and looked certain to win the league for the fifth consecutive year.

With the Champions League no longer a concern, Leonardo has a great chance of winning Serie A in his first season as a manager.

England will be eager to test themselves against such a good side, as there is always a feeling that they struggle against top quality opposition.
UEFA Champions League Preview – AC Milan vs Real Madrid

Since then Madrid have given themselves more reason to win this game, losing 4-0 to third-tier side Alcorcon in the Spanish Cup.
