In the mid-90s, these two teams were involved in a tight rivalry for Serie A and Europa League. Yet, now things have changed. Parma is still struggling to get back on the top while Juventus has been the defending Champions for the past eight seasons. The game against Gervinho and Co might be quite easy for La Vecchia Signora to secure maximum points here.

Juventus and Parma Previous Matches
Juventus finally were able to return to the top of the standings last week after thumping AS Roma in Olimpico. Their two winning goals were netted by Merih Demiral and Cristiano Ronaldo. In Coppa Italy, they are unstoppable. Last midweek, they hammered Udinese 4-0.
Il Gialloblu managed to win in the previous match last weekend. Roberto D’Aversa’s men dismantled Lecce by two goals to nil. Simone Iacoponi and Atalanta loan, the Danish international, Andres Cornelius sealed three points for them.
Possible tactic
Maurizio Sarri tweaks his preference at last. Lately, he often deploys 4-3-1-2 instead of his favourite 4-3-3 to accommodate Dybala and CR7’s potential. It seems to have worked well so far.
Meanwhile, Roberto D’Aversa often opts for 4-3-3. At the front, he mainly relies on the trio, the Ivorian international Gervinho, Andreas Cornelius and the Swedish youngster Dejan Kulusevski. They have scored fourteen goals altogether.
Players to watch
In Sarri’s current squad, Cristiano Ronaldo is certainly the top performer with fourteen goals and two assists. Other notable ones are the Argentinean Paulo Dybala with his five goals and one assist in Serie A and his senior comrade, Gonzalo Higuain.
In Parma, their key figures this season are the nineteen-year-old Dejan Kulusevski who is the top assists provider and the Slovenian Juraj Kucka, besides the former Lille, Roma and Arsenal man Gervinho.
Juventus vs Parma Prediction
The Old Lady definitely can not lose more points in order to keep their position on the top and extend their lead from Inter Milan, if possible. It is a zero-tolerance for Maurizio Sarri especially to keep his job and continue Juventus’ domination in Serie A. It should not be too hard for them as they play in front of their home fans, unless D’Aversa’s men do what they did in the first match last year when they could hold them in a draw.
Serie A Betting Odds
According to the punters, the home side is the clear favourite for sure. Their win market is at 1.20, whereas Gialloblu is only priced to win at 13.75. The draw result is at the value of 6.65.
