Juventus vs Parma Preview & Prediction

Juventus

After a disappointing 3-3 draw against Atalanta, Juventus will be looking to get back to winning ways when they host Parma in Serie A on Saturday afternoon. Despite dominating the match against Atalanta, Juventus were unable to hold on to their lead and were forced to settle for a point. Maurizio Sarri's men will be aware that they need to improve their defensive record if they are to challenge for the title this season. Sarri is expected to make a few changes to his team for the match against Parma. Matthijs de Ligt could come into the defence, while Aaron Ramsey could start in midfield. Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala will be looking to continue their fine form up front for Juventus.

Parma

Parma have made a surprisingly good start to the season and currently sit in seventh place in the Serie A table. Roberto D'Aversa's men have won three of their opening five matches, including an impressive 2-0 victory over Napoli. Parma will be looking to cause an upset against Juventus on Saturday, but they will be aware that they will need to be at their best to get anything from the game. The visitors will be without the injured Gervinho, but they will have Federico Dimarco and Andreas Cornelius available.

Prediction

Juventus will be the clear favourites for this match, but Parma have shown that they are capable of causing problems for the top teams in Serie A. The visitors will be looking to sit deep and frustrate Juventus, but the home side should have the quality to break them down eventually. Juventus 2-0 Parma
