AC Milan Women host Parma in penultimate Serie A clash on Mother's Day

AC Milan Women will host Parma in the penultimate round of the Serie A Women's season at the PUMA House of Football. The fixture, scheduled for 12:30 CEST, coincides with Mother's Day, prompting a special tribute where players will wear their mothers' maiden names on their shirts and in official line-ups. This match represents the final home game of the season for the Rossonere under coach Bakker.

In the current standings, the Rossonere are one point behind fourth place and six points behind third, seeking a positive home finish to the season. Conversely, Parma, sitting tenth in the table, require just one more point to guarantee their place in the top flight following a recent postponement of their safety. The match will be broadcast live on DAZN in Italy.

Squad availability presents a significant variable for the hosts, as Zanini and Park are unavailable for AC Milan due to muscle injuries. However, Angelica Soffia returns to the squad after missing the derby. The Rossonere have not won at home in their last three matches, and the aim is to end the season on a positive note in front of the home supporters.

Parma, managed by Giovanni Valenti, had previously secured a run of five consecutive unbeaten matches before a 3-1 home defeat to Lazio. Their coach noted that AC Milan play attacking football and create many chances, stating that facing them will be exciting. The Ducali need just one more point to guarantee their place in the top flight and will be hoping to secure safety on Sunday against the Rossonere.

Historically, AC Milan have yet to concede a goal against Parma in their first three Serie A meetings this campaign, recording two wins and a draw. Only Inter and Roma have scored more open-play goals than AC Milan in the 2025/26 season, while the Rossonere have conceded just 13 goals from open play, with only Juventus performing better defensively.

Giorgia Arrigoni leads the team in tackles made with 45, closely followed by Parma's Manon Uffren on 42. Laura Giuliani is set to make her 200th Serie A appearance in this match. Enrico Cappai from Cagliari has been appointed referee, with Ionut Eusebiu Nechita and Usman Ghani Arshad as assistants.
