Gleison Bremer’s injury in the match against Leipzig, which ended in a 3-2 victory for Juventus, has disrupted their status as Italy’s top defensive team.
Without their key central defender, Thiago Motta’s squad has struggled to maintain a high defensive line. This has allowed opponents like Inter and Stuttgart to launch numerous dangerous attacks and score five goals with an expected goal tally of 5.50.
Juventus faced significant challenges against their opponents’ pressing and transitions from attack to defense, which has led to central vulnerabilities just outside their penalty box.
This stands in stark contrast to how Juventus defended against Napoli, Empoli, and Roma, where Juventus displayed strong defensive organization and controlled possession to limit opposition chances.
Recently, Juventus has shifted to a more vertical attacking style, which has made them more vulnerable to turnovers and opposition pressing in their own half. As a result, Juve’s defensive solidity has taken a hit.
On the flip side, the Old Lady’s attacking shift has led to more scoring opportunities than earlier in the season. The unpredictable dribbling skills of Francisco Conceição and Kenan Yıldız on the flanks, along with Dušan Vlahović’s excellent play in the opponents’ penalty area, have contributed to this increase in attacking threat.
Parma started the season strong, posing significant challenges for Fiorentina, Milan, and Napoli. They created varied attacks while generating a high number of shots on target in each of those matches.
However, Fabio Pecchia’s squad has struggled to secure similar results against mid-table rivals. Against Empoli, Bologna, Como, Cagliari, and Lecce, Parma have only managed to secure four points.
This is largely due to their occasionally overly aggressive style, which doesn’t always translate to scoring more goals than their opponents.
In their upcoming match against Juventus, Parma may opt for a low defensive block and launch powerful counterattacks to disrupt their top-tier opponent.
In attack, Parma’s Matteo Cancellieri and Dennis Man create width on the flanks, effectively dribbling past defenders in one-on-one situations. Additionally, central forward Ange-Yoan Bonny has already scored three goals this season and shown the ability to deliver dangerous passes into the box for his teammates.
Bet hereJuventus have adopted a more proactive and vertical style of play in recent matches, which allows them to take advantage of their opponents’ defensive weaknesses.
Parma, on the other hand, tend to concede goals in nearly every game and often fail to make up for it with enough goals scored.
After two matches without a victory against Stuttgart and Inter, Juventus will be highly motivated to secure a win on home turf. Therefore, it is likely that Thiago Motta’s team will emerge victorious in this match.
Gleison Bremer’s injury has significantly impacted Juventus’s defensive capabilities, resulting in the team conceding eight goals in their last five matches.
Meanwhile, Parma has scored in eight out of nine Serie A matches this season, including games against Milan and Napoli. Given these stats, it is reasonable to assume that Parma will find the net against Juventus.
