Two clubs chasing the 2014-15 Serie A title will do battle today in a league match between Parma and AC Milan. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio Ennio Tardini in Parma and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
AC Milan's Hernan Crespo had this to offer about newly acquired Fernando Torres (via Football Italia): "I think that the Spaniard is the perfect attacker for Pippo Inzaghi's side. Especially when you look at the Milan midfield. Balotelli is a champion who can change the game with one piece of skill, but you can't ask consistency from him."
AC Milan will look for consistency of their own and build on Week 1's 3-1 victory.
