Parma vs Juventus

Parma

<p>Parma sit 13th in the table with 23 points, and remain firmly involved in the fight to secure top-flight status after promotion. They have avoided defeat in three of their last six football matches, while three consecutive draws highlight their difficulty converting performances into victories.</p> <p>The main issue for the home side is attacking output. Parma have failed to score in each of their last three football matches in Serie A and average just 0.64 goals per game at home, one of the lowest figures in the division.</p> <p>Their home form is reflected in results at the Tardini, where they have won only once in the last nine league games. Matches at home have tended to be tight and low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals recorded in each of their last five home football fixtures in Serie A.</p> <p>This cautious approach leaves little margin for error against higher-quality opposition.</p> <p>An unlikely victory could see them climb further away from their current 15th place.</p> <p>A 3-5-2 formation with Nahuel Estévez and Adrian Benedyczak in attack is expected against the Old Lady.</p>

Juventus

<p>Juventus arrive in much stronger shape and with far greater ambitions following a goalless draw with Monaco in the UEFA Champions League. With the point, the Old Lady failed to secure automatic qualification for the knockout phase and will have to face Galatasaray in the playoff qualifying round.</p> <p>Sitting 5th in the standings with 42 points, the Bianconeri [DWWLW] are firmly in the race for Champions League qualification.</p> <p>Four wins in their last six matches underline an upturn in form. Confidence within the squad appears to be growing.</p> <p>Juventus have also enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture historically, with Parma losing 67% of their recent Serie A meetings against the Turin giants.</p> <p>From a tactical standpoint, Juventus are likely to dominate possession and territory, testing Parma’s defensive organisation from the outset.</p> <p>Overall, this fixture shapes up as a test of Parma’s resilience against Juventus’ growing momentum.</p> <p>If Parma are to claim anything, it will likely require a disciplined defensive performance and a rare attacking spark. In football terms, Juventus will expect to leave Parma with maximum points, even if the contest unfolds in a relatively low-scoring manner.</p> <p>A 4—2—3—1 with Jonathan David in attack is expected against Parma.</p>
