Comments and predictions for Parma vs Juventus: Home team is dead
The match between Parma vs Juventus in Serie A takes place at 1:45 a.m. on April 22. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.
Latest Parma vs Juventus squad information
After scoring in the previous round, both Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz are doubtful: Koopmeiners has a sore Achilles, while Yildiz picked up an injury in a recent training session.
Since Igor Tudor took charge, Yildiz has started all three games, but in his absence, Juventus could use Francisco Conceicao or Randal Kolo Muani as replacements.
Despite his goal drought, Dusan Vlahovic is likely to lead the attack in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Parma are one of four Serie A teams the Serbian striker has yet to score against after a total of 223 minutes of play.
Juventus will travel to the Emilia-Romagna region without key players Juan Cabal, Bremer, Arkadiusz Milik (all long-term injured), along with Federico Gatti and Samuel Mbangula.
On the home side Parma, the injury list includes Yordan Osorio, Adrian Benedyczak, Valentin Mihaila, Gabriel Charpentier and Mateusz Kowalski. Matteo Cancellieri is also not in the best physical condition.
However, Chivu will have Pontus Almqvist back from suspension, and the Swedish winger could be given a start if his side revert to a 4-3-3 formation – instead of the three-man defence they used against Fiorentina last week.
Latest expected lineup for Parma vs Juventus
Parma:
Suzuki; Vogliacco, Leoni, Valenti; Del Prato, Bernabe, Keita, Sohm, Valeri; Pellegrino, Bonny
Juventus:
Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Gonzalez, Conceicao; Vlahovic
Latest football commentary Parma vs Juventus
Reclaiming their place in the top four from Bologna, Juventus edged past weak Lecce last weekend 2-1 thanks to first-half goals from Kenan Yildiz and Teun Koopmeiners.
Despite conceding a late goal, the Turin team held on for the win, continuing their fine form in the spring under interim coach Igor Tudor.
Appointed to replace Thiago Motta after a string of poor results, the former Juve defender quickly switched to a three-man defence and has seen initial success.
Following home wins over Genoa and Lecce – sandwiched by a draw against in-form Roma – Juventus have won eight of their 13 Serie A games this season and are now in pole position in the race for Champions League qualification.
As one of seven teams still competing for the remaining two Champions League spots, Tudor's side are aiming for a strong finish before taking part in FIFA's Club World Cup.
Their record is impressive: Juventus have won their last three visits to the Tardini – the club’s longest away winning streak against Parma in history – and have lost just one of their last 15 meetings with the same opponents, so they will be confident of winning again on Monday night.
Parma last beat Juventus in 2015, but in the first leg this season they held the visitors to a 2-2 draw in Turin thanks to goals from Enrico Del Prato and Simon Sohm.
After a recent run of draws, the Emilia-Route side have moved four points clear of the relegation zone, and are looking to stay in the top flight after being promoted last season.
Since replacing Fabio Pecchia in February, coach Cristian Chivu has significantly improved Parma's defence – they caused both Inter Milan and Fiorentina problems, particularly in last week's goalless draw at the Franchi Stadium.
In fact, Parma have drawn their last five games and could set a new record if they draw again – the first time in the club's history that they have drawn six consecutive Serie A games.
Despite Juventus' strength, Gialloblu fans still have reason to hope, as Parma's youthful squad is not afraid to face the "big guys": in the bottom half of the rankings, only Como has won more points than Parma against top 10 clubs.
