BETTING PREVIEW
Parma are the only team not to be beaten at home this season but that record is at serious risk when they entertain defending champions and current league leaders Juventus, who own the best away record in Serie A, winning 7 of 9 games.
Juventus have won their last 2 road games, and enter this off a morale boasting knockout of AC Milan in the Coppa Italia, which ended 2-1 in ET. That result was the bounce back they needed following their shock home loss in the first game back after the break, when Sampdoria stunned them 2-1.
Parma aren't exactly going to roll over, as they are on a great run, winning their last 3 straight. A 4-1 win here over Cagliari was followed by 2-1 victories at Bologna and then back home against Palermo. They are able to play Juventus close too, especially here. Parma drew 0-0 here last year, against a Juventus side that was on their unbeaten run. The year before, they beat Juventus 1-0. So that's 2 years Juventus have not even been allowed to score here.
Parma have actually held Juventus to 14 draws in their history, more than any other opponent. Juventus are showing signs of trouble at the back, even when winning. They have conceded in their last 3 games.
I have a feeling Juventus will come here looking to avoid a loss more than going for a win, as they will likely have those last 2 results here in their mind, which gives Parma a psychological edge, of sorts.
