Market: Lautaro Martinez to score anytime
Odds: 1/1 @
Looking to lay down another maker in midweek, a high-flying Inter Milan will make the trip to relegation scrappers Parma on Thursday night.
Starting with the hosts, throwing away the lead last weekend and shipping two second-half strikes away at Spezia, Parma have really gained a reputation for their extended issues at the back. Now coming off the back of those back-to-back 2-2 draws, the Crusaders still find themselves sat down in 19th and tipped as a leading contender in the relegation race. Coming under a string of criticism on either side of Italy s festive break, Roberto D Aversa s side have remarkably failed to win any of their last 16 straight matchups across all formats, a run that stems back to the end of November. Facing an overwhelming test on home soil in midweek, it should also be noted that Parma have now conceded at least a pair of strikes in each of their previous seven Serie A appearances on the spin.
As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a free-scoring purple patch, Inter Milan are firmly sat in pole position to claim their first Serie A title since 2010. Building off of that thumping 3-0 win against bitter rivals AC last month, Antonio Conte s men picked up an identical scoreline when they faced off against Genoa when closing February. Winning each of their last five top-flight contests on the bounce, it s well worth keeping an eye out for Lautaro Martinez on Thursday night. Playing a vital role in an Inter side that have bagged 15 goals on their five-match winning run, the 23-year-old recorded a brace against AC last month and has five goals in his last seven matchups across all formats. Smelling a golden chance against a struggling Parma defence in midweek, Martinez should be looking to extend on his tally this week.
