Parma hosts Juventus in a prestigious Serie A clash that could be crucial for both teams. The hosts have escaped the relegation zone with a remarkable series of draws so far but only a win against Juventus would not only give them a psychological boost and give valuable points in the fight to avoid relegation. Parma's attacking performance at home is particularly impressive as in their last three matches at the Stadio Ennio Tardini they have scored at least two goals, which underlines their ability to remain dangerous even against strong opponents such as Inter. These goalscoring qualities, coupled with their characteristic morale in the final minutes, could make the difference against Juventus. In any case, we could xpect that the promoted team will even play better football at times on Monday. On the other side, Juventus is a team for whom every point in the race for Champions League qualification is worth a lot.
The Bianconeri may have a respectable away record, but the current season has shown that they no longer display the consistency of previous years. Against supposedly weaker opponents from the lower half of the table, they did not always succeed in converting their playing superiority into good results.
