ROME. — Verona and Parma could throw a spanner into the European soccer ambitions of both Milan giants this weekend while Juventus travel to Genoa looking to tighten their stranglehold on Italy’s Serie A.
Inter are firmly in the race for a place in next season’s Europa League although they travel to ambitious Verona today with Parma sitting only one point further adrift in sixth and with a game in hand.

For city neighbours AC Milan the situation is dire.
Three days after elimination from the Champions League last 16 at the hands of Atletico Madrid, Clarence Seedorf’s side host Parma knowing that anything less than a win would deal a massive blow to their top five hopes and a place in Europe.

Milan currently sit 10th, but are nine points adrift of Inter, eight behind Parma and five behind a Verona side who have consistently shown their European ambitions all season.
