Juventus VS Parma

Juventus will welcome Parma to Turin on Saturday for their first home Serie A fixture of the 2026/27 campaign, looking to build on a positive opening-day victory over newly promoted Frosinone. Luciano Spalletti’s side controlled the match with 19 attempts and strong possession, eventually securing a 1-0 win through Bremer’s first-half header after surviving a late scare when Frosinone struck the crossbar. The result offered an encouraging response after Juventus narrowly missed out on a top-four finish last season, but the victory was overshadowed by an injury to Kenan Yildiz that could keep the influential forward out for as long as three months. Juventus will now aim to win their first two league games for the third season in a row, with their strong home record providing further confidence. Parma, meanwhile, face a difficult challenge after beginning the campaign with a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Cagliari. Carlos Cuesta’s team were affected by a busy summer of departures, with Mateo Pellegrino, goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and defender Alessandro Circati among the players leaving the club. Parma managed only two shots on target in their opening match, highlighting concerns over their attacking threat ahead of a trip to Turin. Their away record also offers little encouragement, as they have won just once in their first away fixture across the last 21 top-flight seasons. Juventus have dominated recent meetings as well, winning the previous two encounters, including a 4-1 success in Parma after previously recording a 2-0 victory in Turin.
