Team News

Juventus: Cristiano Zanetti has returned from injury and he may start against Parma. Jonathan Zebina also returns for Ranieri’s side and he might get the nod ahead of Christian Molinaro. Del Piero is set to start up front with David Trezeguet who featured for France in the friendly against England during the week.

Parma: Cristiano Lucarelli is out with suspension so Daniele Dessena looks likely to start against the Bianconeri. Macdonald Mariga returns from a one match ban but he will start on the bench.

Players To Watch

Juventus: Alessandro Del Piero. The captain did not feature for the Azzurri during the week so he will be fresh to spur his side on to victory. He has been in stunning form recently and he played like the Del Piero we all came to love against Inter.

Parma: Andrea Gasbarroni. Keep an eye out for the former Juve youth team player. His passing and vision is class and he is dangerous from free kicks.

Probable Starting XI’s

Juventus: Buffon; Zebina, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Grygera; Salihamidzic, Camoranesi, Sissoko, Nedved; Trezeguet, Del Piero

Parma: Bucci; Zenoni, Falcone, Paci, Castellini; Dessena, Morrone, Parravicini, Reginaldo; Gasbarroni; Budan

Prediction

It seems as if the Bianconeri will be the ones who will emerge with three points from this game. Parma will put up a fight but the Old Lady’s class will prevail. It will not be easy for the home side but they have enough quality to be able to take maximum points against a struggling Parma side. Juventus 3-1 Parma
