Parma vs Juventus | Preview & Expected Lineup

Parma vs Juventus to Ennio Tardini Stadium on Easter Monday for a key Matchday 33 clash in Serie A. As fans enjoy their holiday treats, this fixture promises high stakes and fascinating stats between the Gialloblu and the Bianconeri. Here’s a look at the head-to-head history, key numbers, and players to watch.

Parma vs Juventus | Head to head

The rivalry between Parma and Juventus has been largely one-sided in recent years. Juventus has consistently found the net, scoring at least two goals in each of their last four Serie A encounters against Parma. However, the Turin giants have yet to break their personal record of scoring multiple goals in five straight matches against the Gialloblu.

Parma’s record is less flattering — they’ve managed only one win in their last 15 league meetings with Juventus, a narrow 1-0 triumph back in April 2015. Historically, the Gialloblu have struggled defensively against the Bianconeri, conceding 97 goals in Serie A matches — second only to the 100 they’ve let in against Roma.

Interestingly, the two sides drew 2-2 earlier this season, and Parma could avoid defeat in both league fixtures against Juventus in a single season for the first time since 2010/11. Adding to the challenge, Juventus is on a three-game winning streak at the Tardini, matching their best away form against Parma.

Facts about the match

Parma enters the match on the back of five straight league draws, and another would set a club record for consecutive stalemates in Serie A.

Despite being in the bottom half of the table, Parma has fared well against stronger teams, collecting 16 points against top-half sides — a tally bettered only by Como in the same bracket.

Juventus, meanwhile, has found momentum in the second half of the season, winning eight of their last 13 matches — already outperforming last season’s second-half form.

They also boast the league’s best shooting accuracy, with 52% of their attempts on target, while Parma ranks mid-table in that stat.

From a squad depth perspective, Parma has had 16 different scorers this season, one more than Juventus — showing their ability to spread goals across the team. Only Inter has had more players find the net in Serie A this season.

Key players | Parma vs Juventus

Dusan Vlahovic remains a key figure for Juventus, with nine goals in 25 appearances. If he scores in this clash, he’ll join Lautaro Martínez as the only players to reach double-digit goals in five consecutive Serie A seasons.

Rising star Kenan Yildiz is also close to hitting double figures in goal contributions — a feat only Paul Pogba has achieved at a younger age for Juventus in the last two decades.

On Parma’s side, Enrico Delprato has emerged as a goal-scoring defender, already netting four times this season — including once against Juventus. Ange-Yoan Bonny leads Parma’s attack with nine goal involvements and could soon join an exclusive group of young Gialloblu players with 10+ contributions in a season.

Meanwhile, look out for Anas Haj Mohamed, who could make history as just the second Tunisian to score multiple goals in Serie A. Veteran striker Milan Djuric is also on the verge of a milestone, with his next game marking his 150th Serie A appearance.
