Motta: Juventus need to ‘finish with 11 men and not concede penalties’ vs. Parma

Juventus are aiming to record their fourth consecutive victory when they host Parma this weekend

Juventus are aiming to record their fourth consecutive victory when they host Parma this weekend, but coach Claudio Ranieri has warned his team that they must be more disciplined if they are to secure all three points.

The Bianconeri have been in impressive form of late, winning their last three matches in all competitions without conceding a goal. However, they have also been guilty of some poor discipline, with Juan Cuadrado sent off in the win over Spezia and Cristiano Ronaldo receiving a red card in the Champions League victory over Valencia.

Ranieri has called on his players to show more discipline against Parma, who are currently bottom of the Serie A table. "We need to finish the match with 11 men on the pitch and not concede penalties," Ranieri said at his pre-match press conference.

"We have to be more careful, because we can't afford to give away any more soft goals. Parma are a dangerous team, and they will be fighting for their lives. We need to be at our best to beat them." Juventus will be without Cuadrado and Ronaldo for the match against Parma, but they will be boosted by the return of Paulo Dybala. The Argentine forward has been out with a thigh injury but is now fit to play. Parma, meanwhile, will be looking to end a run of five consecutive defeats. The Gialloblu have not won a match since beating Brescia in October and are now in real danger of being relegated to Serie B. Juventus are the clear favorites for the match, but Parma will be hoping to cause an upset. The Bianconeri have been in impressive form of late, but they have also been guilty of some poor discipline. If they can keep 11 men on the pitch and avoid conceding any penalties, they should be able to secure all three points.
