Juventus face Parma after eight-goal thriller against Inter.
Juventus, fresh from a thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter Milan, will aim to reignite their winning form as they host Parma, a side struggling in the bottom half of the table, at the Allianz Stadium in this midweek Serie A clash.
Juventus
Juventus delivered a dramatic comeback to rescue a point in a thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter Milan in the Derby d’Italia last Sunday. A continuous swing in momentum saw Thiago Motta’s men head into the halftime break trailing by a goal, despite goals from Dušan Vlahović and Timothy Weah overturning an early deficit to briefly claim the lead.
The situation worsened as they conceded again shortly after the break. However, Juve leveled the score with a brace from substitute Kenan Yıldız late in the game, maintaining their unbeaten record in the Serie A this season.
'We can improve in many areas; every match is different; we suffered in defense today,’ Motta remarked, noting his team's defensive struggles. 'It was an open and very fair football match,' he concluded.
The draw, Juve’s third in their last five league outings, left them in third place with 17 points, five points behind league leaders Napoli. The White and Blacks will now face Parma midweek, aiming to return to winning ways.
Juventus has a dominant head-to-head record against Parma, having won 10 of their last 14 Serie A encounters. Notably, they have always triumphed in the seven previous first-half-of-the-season clashes with Parma, boasting an aggregate score of 21-2.
A 4-3-3 formation might be deployed on Wednesday, featuring Francisco Conceição, Vlahović, and weekend hero Kenan Yıldız in attack.
Parma
Meanwhile, Parma comes into this match sitting in 17th place after a 1-1 draw against Empoli last weekend. Their manager, Fabio Pecchia, saw his team fall behind after an own goal by Woyo Coulibaly, who inadvertently redirected a low cross into his own net five minutes after the half-hour mark.
Despite this setback, a late goal from Gabriel Charpentier in the 80th minute leveled the score for Parma. They had a chance to secure all three points but Ange-Yoan Bonny missed a penalty six minutes before the final whistle. "I am happy even though there is a sense of bitterness because we deserved to win the match," Pecchia remarked after the game.
Looking ahead, Parma will travel to Turin, aiming for a positive result despite their challenging record, having lost six of their last seven away matches against these opponents. Bonny is expected to feature in the attack, as Parma lines up in a 4—1—4—1 formation.
