Parma and Napoli will lock horns in the penultimate Serie A round this weekend, while Inter Milan will host Lazio.

Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Crusaders could give the Nerazzurri a crucial boost in a dramatic Scudetto battle.

Former Inter Primavera coach Cristian Chivu is now in charge of Parma.

Despite the Crusaders’ season-long struggles in the bottom half of the table, they’ve been formidable on home turf.

That’s something that inspires hope among the Inter faithful.

No strangers to outperforming the odds at Stadio Ennio Tardini, Parma have toppled several top clubs at home this season.

For starters, they beat AC Milan at the start of the season.

Then, Bologna, Juventus, and Lazio all left the Tardini pointless.

Moreover, Inter and Fiorentina also slipped on this ground, sharing the spoils with Chivu’s team in high-scoring draws.

Therefore, it’s only natural to assume Napoli will likely face a stern test in Emilia-Romagna.

As the report goes, ‘Saint Chivu’ could become Inter’s savior on the penultimate matchday.
