Juventus vs Parma Predictions

• Juventus won by two clear goals on seven occasions at home last season
• Parma conceded at least twice in seven of their visits to last season’s top eight
• The hosts won five of their final seven home games last term to nil

Juve to start with routine win

This summer has been far from ideal for Juventus, as they clean up the mess left behind by last season’s failed rebuild. Their outlook for the season isn’t great, after struggling to improve in the dugout and on the pitch. However, Sunday’s opener against Parma is a kind fixture.

Manager Cristian Chivu departed for Inter Milan, despite a mixed return from his 13-game spell late last term. The club have also lost forward Ange-Yoan Bonny to Inter, so new manager Carlos Cuesta is facing a difficult start to his first job in senior management.

Parma scored just 19 times in their 19 away trips last season, while they meet a Juventus side that won five of their final seven home games to nil.

The Old Lady recorded seven wins by a two-goal margin or greater, while Parma shipped at least two goals away to seven of the top eight. While there are bigger tests to come for the hosts, back Juve to clear a -1 handicap.
