Parma coach Francesco Guidolin believes Inter Milan have actually improved this season.

Ahead of today's game, Guidolin remarked: "For three years Inter have dominated the sport in Italy, but this season of what I have seen so far they are more unpredictable and better at passing the ball around.

"If we don't put the pressure on them all over the pitch, we risk conceding a goal with their seven or eight quick passes."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic may have left, but Guidolin appreciates the talent that has come in to replace him.

"In my view Diego Milito is one of the best strikers in the world and Samuel Eto'o also fits that bill. Mario Balotelli is very unpredictable, too. Inter are a tough outfit.

"Having said that, if we play to our strengths with determination, concentration and commitment, we can cause an upset. We have to try."
