Juventus welcome Parma to the Allianz Stadium, with Luciano Spalletti’s team looking to build on their opening-day victory over Frosinone.
Juventus must improve their performance
Juventus secured a win against Frosinone, but the result was not as convincing as the team would have wanted. After a largely positive pre-season, they now need to reproduce that form in Serie A and develop greater consistency.
Their defence has appeared stable and comfortable when defending, but clean sheets will count for little if Juventus cannot improve their attacking output. Both areas must work more effectively if the club is to achieve its ambitions this season.
The match against Parma gives Juventus an opportunity to learn from the mistakes made in their first league fixture. The hosts will need to create more in attack, show greater consistency and produce a stronger display at home.
Parma determined to respond
Parma will not make the match easy for the hosts. The visitors have lost several important players this summer and suffered a home defeat to Cagliari in their opening game, but they remain determined to compete for points.
Another defeat would be an unwanted start to the campaign, so Parma will be eager to respond with an improved performance. They are expected to make Juventus work hard for anything they take from the fixture.
Juventus have enough quality to control the match, but they cannot afford to underestimate Parma. The home side must show that it has addressed the weaknesses from its opening performance and deliver a more convincing result at the Allianz Stadium.
