Juventus take on the visitors Parma in the round 10 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 30th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus seemed poised for a major overhaul much earlier, perhaps after a modest season, rather than in 2024 after rising to 3rd place and winning the cup. However, in the second half of last season, Juventus encountered significant challenges, and Allegri left amid a major controversy. The club recruited Thiago Motta from Bologna, who had taken them to the Champions League, and spent substantially to revamp the squad, especially on players like Douglas Luiz and Koopmeiners. This new team started the Champions League with two impressive wins, scoring three goals in each, although they then stumbled with a 0-1 home loss to Stuttgart. In Serie A, they’ve displayed a solid defense, with new goalkeeper Di Gregorio only conceding a penalty to Cagliari in October. However, Juventus also struggles to score consistently, which has led to some missed opportunities. Their last game against Inter was an exception, a thrilling 4-4 draw.

Parma faces challenges at a long-forgotten level. Like many European clubs, the Crusaders struggled after American investors joined their project. Once viewed as potential European contenders, Parma dropped out of Serie A and struggled to return, even with Buffon back. Only under Pecchia, on his second try, did they finally secure promotion. Life in Serie A has been challenging, though, despite a promising start (their quick elimination from the cup by Palermo aside): they drew 1-1 with Fiorentina and won 2-1 over Milan. That win remains their only one so far, as losses have piled up. On this backdrop, a 1-1 draw with Empoli felt like a breakthrough.
Juventus has won the last four head-to-head matches against Parma. Against this opponent, a home win is expected. Back Juventus with a -1.0 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.0 handicap.
