Juventus vs Parma

Juventus begin the new Italian Serie A season at Allianz Stadium as they host Parma on Sunday.

The Turin club often do their best work in front of their fans and will be keen to make their home ground a fortress this season. They should claim the upper hand against the visitors, who generally find things difficult in this fixture.

Juventus News

Juventus are coming into their first full campaign under Igor Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta midway through last season and led them to a fourth-placed finish. However, transfer activity has been sparse this summer, with Jonathan David the only major arrival, while they continue their attempts to agree a permanent deal for Randal Kolo Muani.

Despite the transfer difficulties, preseason was smooth for Juventus, who have won their last three friendly matches, ending with a 2-1 victory over Atalanta. They will be hoping to maintain their solid home form, having won five of their final six matches at Allianz Stadium last season.

Juventus have scored the first goal in the first half and led at the break in three of their last four Serie A home matches. Their last four matches across all competitions have also produced over 1.5 goals.

Parma News

Parma had a difficult campaign last term, earning only seven wins in 38 matches and finishing just five points above the relegation zone. They struggled towards the end of the season and failed to win four of their final five Serie A matches.

It has been a busy transfer window for Parma, with Ange-Yoan Bonny and Giovanni Leoni leaving while Christian Ordonez and Matija Frigan are among the arrivals. Carlos Cusesta’s team were unbeaten in five of their six preseason matches and claimed a 2-0 victory over Pescara in their final fixture.

One area that needs some work for Parma is their form on the road, as they are winless in 10 of their last 11 Serie A away matches. Their last three away fixtures in the league have produced over 1.5 goals.

Head to Head

Juventus have eight wins and two draws, while Parma have only picked up two wins from the last 12 matches. However, the visitors were unbeaten last season, playing out a 2-2 away draw in the first meeting before earning a 1-0 home victory in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Juventus v Parma

Fresh off a solid preseason and given their record in this fixture, Juventus will be confident of seeing off Parma. The Turin club have earned a win and over 1.5 goals in their last three matches, and a repeat is expected here.

Juventus will be keen to make a fast start and have scored the first goal in the first half in three of their last four Serie A home matches. They have also led at the break in all three fixtures, and Sunday's season opener is expected to follow a similar pattern.
