Parma vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-20 18:45.
[p]Parma’s second goalless draw in three games stretched their current run of stalemates to five consecutive Serie A matches, but more importantly it increased their lead over the relegation places to four points. Such a long run of draws is nothing new for Parma, who had already picked up four consecutive draws earlier this season, which included the reverse fixture against upcoming opponents Juventus (2-2), who are the only side to have collected more draws than their 13 pre-round.[/p]
[p]Parma have picked up four of their paltry five Serie A wins this season at home, where they are in great attacking form, scoring exactly two goals in three consecutive matches (W1, D2), including a surprising 2-2 draw with league leaders Inter two weeks ago. That forms a part of an impressive home record against teams starting this round in the top half (W3, D3, L2).[/p]
[p]Since he replaced Thiago Motta, new Juventus manager Igor Tudor has enjoyed a solid start as their 2-1 victory over relegation-threatened Lecce stretched his unbeaten start to three matches (W2, D1). It also confirmed Juventus’ strong unbeaten record against teams in the bottom half of the table at the end of last round (W12, D6), at which point Juventus were fourth with a two-point cushion over Bologna.[/p]
[p]That may come in handy as they travel to Parma in search of three vital points, and with all six of their away wins coming against bottom-half opposition (W6, D7, L2), Juventus should arrive confident. The visitors have also won five of the last six away H2Hs (L1), registering back-to-back clean sheets in the most recent two.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Defender Enrico Del Prato is one of Parma’s five players to score at least four goals for any club this Serie A season, but he also picked up seven yellow cards, including two across the last three matches. Despite netting the opener last round, Teun Koopmeiners has scored six of his last eight goals beyond the 50th minute, with three of his four strikes for Juventus arriving in victories (D1). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ahead of this round, only Lazio (18) had scored more goals beyond the 76th minute than Parma (14).[/p]
