Will the Old Lady get revenge for last season?

There are probably no two opinions about who is the favorite in the Juventus vs. Parma prediction. However, a look at the two results from last season shows that Juve only managed to take one point from the last two encounters. In April, they suffered defeat in Parma.

Now, at the start of the new Serie A season, a win is needed to set the Old Lady on the right course. The last few years have not gone as planned, and the team has its sights set on at least the Champions League. For the visitors, on the other hand, it’s all about picking up points to secure their place in the league, which should be easier to achieve this season.

Igor Tudor has been in charge of the Bianconeri since March. The 47-year-old Croatian is tasked with getting the team back up the league table and back into contention for the championship. He previously had a brief spell as assistant coach in Turin four years ago.

Calcio Parma, on the other hand, will start the season with Carlos Cuesta, who joined the club at the beginning of July and was previously active as a coach in the Juventus youth academy. Over the past five years, he has gained important experience as assistant coach at Arsenal FC. However, Cuesta will not be able to change the underdog role for Sunday for the time being.

Juve secured just one point against this opponent last season, but the season did not go as planned, which is why coach Thiago Motto was dismissed in March and Igor Tudor was brought in as his successor. Even though Tudor was already there for the defeat in the second half of the season, the omens are different this time.

Alternatively, you can bet on a home win with a handicap, which also offers good odds and can be played with medium risk. Another defeat for Juventus would be a big surprise and is also unlikely.

In the last match, Parma Calcio won the game with a strong defensive performance, even though Juventus was clearly the better team. This resulted in only one goal, but that is unlikely to happen again with Juventus. Therefore, there is also the option of betting on over 2.5 goals with low risk.

Juventus – Parma Head-to-head comparison / H2H record

In the 71 games played between the two sides over the last hundred years, Juventus have won 38. However, the favourites have failed to win the last two encounters. Nevertheless, that should not have too much of an impact on the prediction for the game between Juventus and Parma.

Before last season’s 0-1 defeat and 2-2 draw, there had been no matches between the two sides for three years. However, Juventus had the upper hand in most of the recent encounters, even if the results did not always reflect that. The Old Lady has won six of the last ten matches.

Juventus – Parma Prediction

Contrary to the Juventus vs. Parma betting odds and last season’s results, can Parma Calcio be counted on to win again? It may be tempting to see the underdog come out on top once more, but realistically, the hosts will have the edge this time around.

Since Igor Tudor took over at Juventus, results have stabilized. In fact, the defeat in Parma was the only domestic setback under Tudor, who can now start the new season with Juve fresh and rested. Juventus must be considered the favorites in their own stadium.

With the clear favorite role, the combination is worthwhile. If you add the market that both teams will not score to the 3-way bet, you get good odds of 2.19, which can be played with 3 units at Merkur Bets.

Alternatively, you can bet on a home win with a handicap to get more out of the odds for Juve. The market for goals is also interesting in a game like this, as Parma will certainly want to dig in to keep the hosts at bay. However, if Juve scores the first goal, there is a good chance that there will be over 2.5 goals.
