Serie A Line-Ups: Juventus vs. Parma
Juventus
Juventus will be looking to continue their winning start to the Serie A season when they host Parma on Saturday. The Bianconeri have won their opening two games of the campaign, scoring seven goals and conceding none.
Massimiliano Allegri is expected to make few changes to the side that beat Napoli 2-1 last weekend. Wojciech Szczesny will start in goal, protected by a back four of Danilo, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs de Ligt, and Alex Sandro.
Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi are set to start in central midfield, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala, and Federico Bernardeschi forming a dangerous attacking trio.
Parma
Parma have made a solid start to the season, taking four points from their opening two games. However, they will face a tough test against Juventus on Saturday.
Roberto D'Aversa is likely to field a 4-3-3 formation, with Luigi Sepe in goal. The back four is expected to consist of Bruno Alves, Riccardo Gagliolo, Matteo Darmian, and Antonio Barreca.
Juraj Kucka, Hernani, and Alberto Grassi are set to start in midfield, with Gervinho, Roberto Inglese, and Dejan Kulusevski forming the attacking trio.
Prediction
Juventus are the clear favorites for this match. They have a much stronger squad than Parma and are in excellent form.
However, Parma have shown that they are a dangerous team and will be looking to cause an upset. If they can keep Cristiano Ronaldo quiet, they have a chance of getting a result.
Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Parma
