Juventus vs. Parma - prediction, team news, lineups

Juventus

Juventus will be looking to make it three wins from three at the start of the Serie A season when they host Parma on Saturday. The Bianconeri have made a perfect start to the campaign, beating Sampdoria and Roma in their opening two games. Maurizio Sarri's side will be confident of beating Parma, who have lost their first two games of the season. However, Juventus will be without Cristiano Ronaldo, who is serving a two-match ban for his red card against Valencia in the Champions League. Sarri is likely to make a number of changes to his team from the one that beat Roma last weekend. Miralem Pjanic and Sami Khedira are both expected to return to the starting lineup, while Paulo Dybala could also start in attack alongside Gonzalo Higuain.

Parma

Parma have made a poor start to the Serie A season, losing their first two games to SPAL and Atalanta. The Gialloblu will be hoping to cause an upset against Juventus on Saturday, but they will need to improve their performance from their opening two games. Roberto D'Aversa's side were well beaten by Atalanta last weekend, and they will need to be much more solid defensively against Juventus. Parma will also need to be more creative in attack, as they have only scored one goal in their first two games. D'Aversa is likely to make a number of changes to his team from the one that lost to Atalanta. Andreas Cornelius could come into the starting lineup in attack, while Juraj Kucka could also start in midfield.

Prediction

Juventus are the clear favorites to win this match. They have a much stronger squad than Parma, and they have made a perfect start to the season. However, Parma will be hoping to cause an upset. They have a good record against Juventus in recent years, and they will be confident of getting a result if they can play to their strengths. I predict that Juventus will win the match 2-0.
