A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Parma have won their last three matches and are unbeaten at home this season will face a tricky match as they welcome the visit of Juventus to the Stadio Tardini.

Parma came away winners in a tense match against Palermo last weekend to record their third consecutive win. Amauri scored the winner in that match against his former club after Francesco Benussi’s error. And that win meant that Roberto Donadoni’s team are the only ones unbeaten at their own stadium after Fiorentina’s shock loss to Pescara.

To date Parma have won their six of nine matches played at the Tardini stadium and last dropped home points on November 11, in a scoreless draw with Siena.

Meanwhile, Juventus saw their eight-point lead reduced after a surprise defeat to Sampdoria at home. Juventus took the lead through Sebastian Giovinco’s penalty and seemed to be heading for a win when Samp went down to 10 men. But they were stunned by two second-half Mauro Icardi goals.

In midweek, Juventus bounced back with a dramatic 2-1 Coppa Italia success over Milan on Wednesday, which went into extra time. It needs to be said that Juventus have a good away record as well considering that they have won seven of nine matches on their travels. They also have one of the best defence with just six goals conceded.

Last season these two teams played out to a goalless draw and it ended in controversy. Parma does hold a better head to head record with six wins to Juventus five.
