Juventus vs Parma Preview

Tournament: Serie A

Date: Sunday, 24th August 2025

Kick-off Time: 06:45 PM GMT

Venue: Allianz Stadium

Juventus are seeking to make a quick start under the guidance of head coach Igor Tudor when they host Parma at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday to start the 2025–26 Serie A. Parma, on the other hand, held their ground against relegation.

Juventus, who won the Serie A title for nine consecutive years, have not won the league title since 2020 and were only able to finish fourth last season after another troubled year. Because of their constant failure to convert draws into wins, the Turin side also had to exit the UEFA Champions League prematurely. They drew 20 matches in total competitions, a club record.

The Bianconeri have added a series of players to their ranks, among them the signing of former Porto star Joao Mario and Jonathan David from Lille. Juventus doubled down to win back the Scudetto and reduce the deficit on reigning champions Napoli.

Meanwhile, Parma's new boss, Carlos Cuesta - at the age of 30 years and 26 days - will become the third-youngest coach to debut in Italy's top flight, following his surprise move from English giants Arsenal. Oliver Sorensen and Matija Frigan have joined them this summer, but they are looking for stability in Turin due to important defensive absences.

On the last matchday, the Emilian team defeated Atalanta 3-2 to solidify their place in the top division and guarantee that they will play consecutive Serie A seasons for the first time since 2021. The former Juventus youth coach guided his new squad to a Coppa Italia victory against Pescara ahead of his first league game as a senior manager. The team's 2-0 success last week set up a round two home matchup against Spezia.

Juventus Team News

Jonathan David is expected to head Juventus' front line after Dusan Vlahovic fell down the ranks due to an unending contract dispute and some poor finishing. With Randal Kolo Muani still waiting to convert last season's loan into a permanent deal, David, a Canadian striker who has scored at least 15 goals in each of his past four Ligue 1 campaigns, will lead Juventus' attack. Joao Mario may start on the right side after following another loanee, Francisco Conceicao, who joined the team from Porto this summer. Brazilian centre-back Bremer makes a welcome comeback, while Juan Cabal, Fabio Miretti, and Nicolo Savona are all sidelined due to injury. Andrea Cambiaso could celebrate his 100th Serie A start if selected. Tudor is expected to deploy his favoured 3-4-2-1 formation, relying on a mix of defensive solidity and attacking flair.

Parma Team News

Ange-Yoan Bonny, a French attacker who accompanied Cristian Chivu to Inter, is absent from Parma's squad after the club lost young defender Giovanni Leoni to Liverpool. Marco Pellegrino, who scored a brace against Pescara in the cup, is the frontrunner to start up front because Matija Frigan, the latter's substitute, just suffered an ACL rupture. Botond Balogh must serve a suspension, while Swedish winger Jacob Ondrejka will also be out for some time due to a fractured leg. This fixture represents a transition period for Parma, who are still integrating new players and adjusting to a new tactical regime, which may pose difficulties against Juventus's disciplined defence.

Juventus vs Parma Head-to-Head Record

With 12 victories in their past 21 encounters against Parma, who have won five, Juventus have a commanding head-to-head record. The fact that four games finished in draws demonstrated Juventus' dominance.

Key Players to Watch Out In Juventus vs Parma

Jonathan David (Juventus)

As mentioned above, the Canadian striker, who was purchased from Lille, is renowned for his quickness, ability to finish, and deft movement. David scored more than 50 goals in three seasons, demonstrating his exceptional success in Ligue 1. Because of his versatility, Igor Tudor may use him in a variety of offensive situations in addition to being a centre striker. Given the possibility of Dusan Vlahovic leaving, David is anticipated to take the lead and add a fresh element to Juventus' attack by holding up play, pushing from the front, and forming productive connections with Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz. His debut is much-awaited, and it is thought that his clinical edge will enable him to immediately affect Serie A.

Enrico Del Prato (Parma)

With a 33% conversion rate and four goals last season, Del Prato is one of the top defenders and is a part of the Juventus vs Parma predicted lineups. He's a must-have player on both sides of the field due to his ability to make timely interventions and contribute from attacking set pieces. With Parma continuing to learn Cuesta's ideas and absorbing fresh players, consistency and experience will be key from Del Prato in repelling Juventus' quality attack. Del Prato's role as an organiser and goal threat on set pieces will be instrumental if Parma is to claim a win.

Juventus vs Parma Prediction

Juventus is the apparent favourite for their Serie A opener due to their offensive prowess and defensive structure. Parma could find it difficult to make an impression, but expect the Old Lady to dominate the action and generate several opportunities. The anticipated result is a 2-0 victory for Juventus, solidifying their excellent start to the season.

Predicted Score: Juventus 2-0 Parma
