Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Parma – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Juventus resume their Serie A title pursuit on Wednesday with a must-win home encounter against newly promoted Parma. There’s no margin for error if Thiago Motta’s men are to stay within striking distance of Napoli. Following Napoli’s 2-0 win against out-of-sorts Milan on Tuesday, eight points separate Antonio Conte’s high-flying side from third-placed Juventus. Despite avoiding defeat in all nine league matches in charge of the Bianconeri, Motta’s habit of sharing the spoils has been a massive setback in the early season proceedings. Juventus pulled off a stunning late fightback to haul back a 4-2 deficit in a see-saw 4-4 Derby d’Italia draw against Inter on Sunday. Kenan Yildiz couldn’t have picked a better moment to get off the mark in Serie A this season. The Turkish prodigy netted twice off the bench to salvage a point for his team at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. ............ Match Preview Juventus Title-chasing Juventus carry an eye-catching 17-game unbeaten league run into this matchday. However, that record doesn’t show the whole picture. Indeed, 11 of those 17 matches ended all square, underlining the home side’s notorious inability to turn stalemates into victories. Such an eye-watering number of draws has started to frustrate Juventus fans, considering it continues to throw a spanner in the works as they bid to end a four-year Scudetto drought. Anything other than three points against Parma would intensify the pressure on the Bianconeri. However, they seem well-positioned to return to the win column, having won five of the last six meetings with the Crusaders (D1). They’ve been particularly prolific in this fixture, netting at least two goals in six of the seven most recent clashes between the teams in Turin (W6, D1). Adding to Motta’s confidence, Juventus boast an outstanding record of eight triumphs from their last nine Wednesday-held Serie A outings (L1). Parma ............ Team News Juventus are still without long-term absentees Paul Pogba, Arkadiusz Milik, and Gleison Bremer. This game will come too soon for marquee summer signings Nicolas Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners, while there’s a chance Douglas Luiz could return to the fold. ............ Juventus vs Parma Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (4-2-3-1): Michele Di Gregorio; Nicolo Savona, Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti, Juan Cabal; Marcus Thuram, Manuel Locatelli; Francisco Conceicao, Kenan Yildiz, Timothy Weah; Dusan Vlahovic. Parma (4-2-3-1): Zion Suzuki; Woyo Coulibaly, Enrico Del Prato, Botond Balogh, Emanuele Valeri; Simon Sohm, Adrian Bernabe; Dennis Man, Hernani, Valentin Mihaila; Ange Bonny. Juventus vs Parma Prediction Parma can cause problems for every team in Serie A, as evidenced by their stellar win against Milan and a hard-earned draw against Fiorentina earlier in the season. However, they could be out of their depth in Turin as we back Juventus to return to winning ways. Prediction: Juventus to Win .

Juventus vs Parma: Preview and Prediction Juventus will look to return to winning ways in Serie A when they host Parma, who have only won one league outing this season. Juventus are unbeaten heading into this fixture, but they have already played out too many draws and won’t want to drop any more points against Parma, who have failed to win any of their last six league outings. The Old Lady are currently third on the table with 17 points in nine outings thanks to four wins and five draws. They have only won two of their last five league games and played out a 4-4 draw in their last outing against Inter Milan. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Gleison Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik remain on the sidelines. Apart from the duo, summer signings Teun Koopmeiners and Nico Gonzalez could also miss this home game. Meanwhile, Douglas Luiz remains a major doubt for this fixture with a thigh problem. Thiago Motta is expected to make a few changes to the team that started in their last outing. The Juventus manager will most likely go ahead with the 4-2-3-1 formation against Parma, with Michele Di Gregorio in goal. Nicolo Savona and Jose Maria Cabal will feature as the full-backs, while Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti will feature in the heart of the defence. In the absence of Luiz, Khephren Thuram should partner Manuel Locatelli in the centre of the park. They will look to shield the backline and provide a base to attack from. Francisco Conceicao and Timothy Weah could feature on the flanks, with Kenan Yildiz taking up the role of an attacking midfielder. Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic should continue to lead the line for Juventus against Parma. Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cabal; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, Yildiz, Weah; Vlahovic Parma ............ Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Coulibaly, Del Prato, Balogh, Valeri; Sohm, Bernabe; Man, Hernani, Mihaila; Bonny Key Stats Juventus have won 23 out of the last 40 matches against Parma, who only have six wins in those games. The Old Lady are unbeaten in 13 out of their last 14 games against Parma in Serie A. Their only defeat came back in 2015. The visitors have lost each of their last league games against the Turin-based club. Juventus have scored a total of 65 goals in their 26 matches at home against Parma. Parma have been winless in their last six league outings this season. Player to Watch Kenan Yildiz The 19-year-old Turkish sensation was the one who saved the day for Juventus in their last outing against Inter Milan with a brace. With five goal contributions in his 12 outings, Yildiz has had quite an impact in the ongoing campaign, and the Old Lady will hope he helps them claim all three points against Parma. Prediction Juventus 3-1 Parma Juventus have a dominant head-to-head record against Parma. While the Old Lady have not been at their best in the 2024/25 season, they still have a lot of quality in their ranks that can help them secure a positive result in this home fixture. The visitors have struggled to win games and they are unlikely to get it right against Thiago Motta’s men. The Hard Tackle predicts a 3-1 win for Juventus. .

Montella: “Yildiz is devastating, but now he must learn to score ‘dirty’ goals” In a recent interview, Turkey national team coach Vincenzo Montella shared his insights on the thrilling Inter-Juventus match, praised young talent Kenan Yildiz, and offered his thoughts on the current state of Italian football. ............ Montella was particularly enthusiastic about Kenan Yildiz’s performance during the match: “I’m very happy for him. This satisfaction comes at the right moment. At just 19 years old, he has become the youngest to score a brace in an Inter-Juventus clash. He gave an important response in terms of scoring and playing with his teammates. In Turkey, there is a lot of talk about him, and he deserves it.” Despite starting on the bench, Yildiz made a significant impact when he entered the game. Montella said, “I had no doubts because he is a mature and ‘mentalized’ boy. He never gets his attitude wrong.” However, he advised Yildiz on areas for improvement: “He needs to learn to attack the goal and be more optimistic in the final 20 meters. So far, he has scored all extraordinary goals; he must also learn to score dirty goals by believing more in rebounds and loose balls.” ............ .

Un piccolo o.t. che riguarda un ex grande giocatore del Milan. Gennaro Gattuso, in estate, ha deciso di sposare il progetto dell'Hajduk Spalato. Scelto dal DS della società, Nikola Kalinic (ex conoscenza del nostro calcio) per riportare il club ai vertici del calcio croato. Ma dopo poco è scoppiato il caos, con gli stipendi che tardano ad arrivare, tanto che il ds Kalinic se n'è andato. Non l'ha fatto Gennaro Gattuso che resta in carica come allenatore e, anzi, ha fatto un bel gesto verso i suoi giocatori, regalando a tutti un Iphone 16 per sopperire alla mancanza dello stipendio. "Amo questo lavoro e questi giocatori mi rendono felice, ecco il motivo del perché ho speso 40.000 euro in cellulari. Non sono qui per soldi, ho guadagnato abbastanza nella mia carriera da giocatore e non ho più bisogno di lavorare nella mia vita. Il presidente, non lo sento da un mese. Mi erano state promesse delle cose che non sono state mantenute e ho dovuto scegliere tra lottare o arrendermi. Per ora preferisco combattere. Ho 400 partite al mio attivo da allenatore, ho guidato già grandi club. Ho sentito quanto i giocatori mi hanno dato il cuore e non voglio deluderli. Non me ne andrò. Non lo farò. Se me ne andassi adesso, mentre loro lavorano e si allenano così, mi sentirei una M***A, un ometto. Se la pensassi diversamente, andrei a Marbella a portare a spasso i cani." Intanto la sua squadra è in testa nella SuperSport Hrvatska nogometna liga, a + 6 dal Rijeka e + 7 dai campioni in carica della Dinamo Zagabria. Ivan Rakitic e compagni sono ancora imbattuti dopo undici giornate. Forza Ringhio !!

Appunto. Ci sarebbe un'improvvisa discordanza fra i due.

Partita da temere se non entriamo in campo concentrati. Si spera di non ripetere gli errori fatti contro il Cagliari, partita successiva all'impresa di Lipsia. Il 4-4 contro l'Inter potrebbe farci sottovalutare il Parma per cui non facciamo boiate.

Sicuramente. Megalomania e aviditá di denaro sono tipiche di chi gestisce qualcosa/qualcuno.

Ho letto che Thiago Motta e Gatti avrebbero litigato ecco forse spiegate le scelte nelle ultime gare. Al momento di entrare in campo contro l'Inter abbiamo visto tutti come il mister ha trattato Gatti. Qualcosa di vero potrebbe esserci.

Il calcio é la valvola di sfogo di persone che non trovano un'altra maniera per superare le loro frustrazioni, problemi e delusioni. Altresí, tifosi organizzati vedono nel calcio anche una maniera per guadagnare denaro. É per questo che l'odio fa parte del mondo del calcio. Interessi personali prevaricano l'essenza di questo sport che é sempre meno sport.

Teun Koopmeiners unlikely to recover in time to face Parma The thing that was generally assumed when it became known that Teun Koopmeiners was dealing with a cracked rib was that his exact return to action was going to be a complete question mark. That may sound little bit of an odd thing to think about, but cracked ribs are very much not like muscle injuries when it comes to recovery times — it just doesn’t fit into one exact timetable almost every single time. And now, as we enter build-up to the final game before October turns to November, Koopmeiners’ return to Juventus’ lineup is still a waiting game. ............ When Koopmeiners was officially diagnosed with his broken rib a few days later, one very notable thing was missing from the announcement: just how long he was going to be out for. Because this injury is more how the player feels rather than sitting out a couple of weeks and that’s that, Koopmeiners’ return continues to roll on and be Juve’s arguably biggest absence outside of Gleison Bremer. ............ In Koopmeiners’ absence, Thiago Motta has tried more than just a couple of players in the No. 10 role in which the 26-year-old Dutchman has occupied since signing from Atalanta late in August. We’ve seen Douglas Luiz — who is dealing with his own injury issues at the moment — played in the hole. We’ve seen Nicolo Fagioli played in the hole. Kenan Yildiz hasn’t gotten back to the spot he looked at home at prior to Koopmeiners’ arrival, but we’ve also seen Weston McKennie very much making runs forward into the final third like he did to set up Juve’s first goal against Inter this past weekend. ............ .

Motta pondering lineup changes ahead of Juventus vs Parma After registering a 4-4 draw in a historic edition of the Derby d’Italia, Juventus will hardly have time to catch their break, as their next Serie A encounter against Parma is just around the corner. The Bianconeri will host the newly-promoted side at the Allianz Stadium in Turin this Wednesday. After expanding so much energy in the back-and-forth showdown at San Siro, Thiago Motta will be looking to rotate his starting lineup for the midweek contest, even though the injury crisis is leaving him with limited options. After all, the likes of Teun Koopmeiners, Douglas Luiz and Nico Gonzalez are unlikely to recover in time for the next one. ............ Motta could start by giving the nod to Mattia Perin following his heroics against Stuttgart last Tuesday. ............ Nicolo Savona and Federico Gatti will get the nod at the back from the start after earning cameos at San Siro. The latter will likely start given Danilo’s recent woes at the back. In the middle of the park, Khephren Thuram should return to the starting formation, albeit it remains to be seen who would make way between Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie and Nicolo Fagioli. Last but not least, Kenan Yildiz will certainly reclaim his starting berth following his exceptional cameo on Sunday. ............ .

Ovvio per noi ma alcuni tifosi non ragionano cosí. L'odio dovrebbe prevalere sull'amore ma per fortuna non é sempre cosí.

I sentimenti sono piú importanti delle maglie

Preview: Juventus vs. Parma - prediction, team news, lineups After rescuing one point from a dramatic Derby d'Italia last weekend, Juventus will seek all three on Wednesday, when they welcome Parma to Turin. ............ Match preview After trailing, then leading, then going in 3-2 down at half time, Juventus produced a remarkable comeback to draw 4-4 with reigning champions Inter on Sunday evening, as Italy's most prestigious Calcio contest produced a stone-cold classic. Shortly after the break, Juve fell two goals behind, before surviving several scares, but Turkish teenager Kenan Yildiz emerged from the bench and scored twice to turn the game on its head at San Siro. Incredibly, the four goals they conceded were as many as throughout all of their previous 10 league matches dating back to the end of last season - and Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first-half strike is the only one from open play so far this term. ............ Just one point behind Inter in the race to haul back early front-runners Napoli, Motta's men are still well-placed to contend for the title, and they can aid that quest with a midweek win. As Juve have scored in every top-flight home game against Parma to date - across 26 previous meetings, at an average of 2.5 goals per game - history suggests they should prevail on Wednesday evening. Such has been the Bianconeri's dominance, Parma have won only one of their last 14 league matches against Juventus, losing 10 times in the process. On this occasion, the Gialloblu will arrive at the Allianz Stadium having taken just four points from seven games since upsetting AC Milan back in August. ............ Team News Rarely reliant on the same starting XI from game to game, Thiago Motta is set to tinker with his team on Wednesday, ahead of a weekend trip to Udine. Having pressed his claims for inclusion by making a massive impact on the Derby d'Italia, Kenan Yildiz could be recalled, as the 19-year-old forward seeks a first league goal at the Allianz Stadium - his four Serie A strikes so far have all come away from home. As well as long-term absentees Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik, summer signings Teun Koopmeiners and Nico Gonzalez may miss out again, while Douglas Luiz remains a slight doubt due to a thigh problem. While Dusan Vlahovic sets the standard for Juve in this season's Capocannoniere chart, Parma's last six goals have been scored by six different players. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cabal; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, Yildiz, Weah; Vlahovic Parma possible starting lineup: Suzuki; Coulibaly, Del Prato, Balogh, Valeri; Sohm, Bernabe; Man, Hernani, Mihaila; Bonny We say: Juventus 2-0 Parma Expect normal service to resume for Juventus, whose superb defensive record was disregarded by Inter last time out, as Parma lack a major goal threat. At a venue where they generally hand over three points to their hosts, the visitors will not end their wait for a first away win of the season. .

Juventus laying the groundwork to sign Brazilian defender in January Juventus have reportedly identified Leo Ortiz as the right profile to replace his compatriot Gleison Bremer in Thiago Motta’s defensive department. ............ Motta has been left with limited options at the back. Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu have been his main options, while club captain Danilo has been showing worrying signs of decline, especially in his last two outings against Stuttgart and Inter, gifting penalty kicks on both occasions. Therefore, Juventus are preparing to enter the market in January and bolster Motta’s defensive department with a new centre-back. Juventus have been working on this track over the past few weeks, laying the groundwork for the Brazilian’s possible arrival in January. The Bianconeri are thus looking to strike an agreement with Flamengo as well as the player’s entourage. This would be Ortiz’s first experience on the European scene. ............ .

Juventus defence in crisis: From 1 Goal conceded with Bremer to 8 without him Juventus’ defensive prowess has taken a dramatic turn for the worse since the injury of key center-back Gleison Bremer. The team that once prided itself on a near-impenetrable defense, conceding just one goal in eight Serie A matches, now finds itself struggling to maintain its defensive solidity. Prior to Bremer’s injury in Leipzig, Juventus boasted the best defensive record among Europe’s top five leagues. ............ The statistics paint a stark picture of Bremer’s importance to the team. Before his injury, Juventus had conceded just one goal in seven matches. In the five games since his absence, they’ve allowed eight goals. Only in the match against Lazio did they manage to keep a clean sheet during this period. This defensive collapse is further emphasized by the number of shots Juventus are now allowing. In the Champions League match prior to the Inter game, they conceded 24 shots, a significant increase from their previous total of 21 across all matches. Against Inter, they allowed 18 shots, with goalkeeper Di Gregorio making two crucial saves. The team’s defensive record in Serie A has now slipped, with five goals conceded, putting them on par with Napoli. ............ .

Motta’s Three game-changing maneuvers that rescued a point for Juventus against Inter On Sunday evening, Thiago Motta appeared to be facing his first Serie A defeat as a Juventus manager, but somehow managed to escape unscathed by roaring back to earn a 4-4 draw against Inter at San Siro. ............ Motta deserves the credit as his second-half maneuvers turned the tide in the Old Lady’s favor. The report mentions three ploys that worked almost to perfection. The first was replacing Timothy Weah with Yildiz. While the introduction of the Turkish youngster was a no-brainer at that point, taking off the American raised some eyebrows. ............ The second maneuver was the introduction of Nicola Savona which left many perplexed ............ Nevertheless, Savona’s entry freed up Andrea Cambiaso who got the license to roam forward. The latter played an instrumental part in the last equalizer. Last but not least, Dusan Vlahovic’s exit was certainly a controversial decision with Juventus trailing in the score, but Samuel Mbangula’s entry meant that the Inter defenders no longer had fixed points to mark. ............ .

Yildiz beaming: “Juventus believe in the Scudetto, proud to score against Inter Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz emerged as the ultimate hero for the Bianconeri faithful in the thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter. While the young attacker has been a regular starter since the start of the season, Thiago Motta decided to drop him from the lineup for the Derby d’Italia, instead relying on Timothy Weah on the left flank. ............ “Is it better to start from the bench next time too? It wasn’t easy,” said the Juventus number 10 in his post-interview. “But I’m very happy and I thank my teammates and the coach. These goals make me happy. “I’m proud to have scored against Inter. After the first one, I didn’t stick my tongue out because I had to keep my feet on the ground. But after the equalizer, I celebrated as I always do. I hope to score more. ............ “We have to remain on the positive track. In football, everything can change quickly, but we played as a team and it eventually went well for us. We believe in the Scudetto, but the season is still long.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/yildiz-beaming-juventus-believe-in-the-scudetto-proud-to-score-against-inter/

Italian newspaper player ratings for Juventus: Yildiz stars against Inter, Danilo flops Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz was unanimously named as the Man of the Match following his marvelous cameo in the Derby d’Italia. ............ However, Yildiz emerged as the ultimate hero by scoring twice with his weaker foot to force a 4-4 draw, much to Inter’s dismay. Curiously, The 19-year-old hadn’t scored in Serie A this season prior to this contest, only netting a strike against PSV in the Champions League. ............ On the other hand, Danilo was the ultimate flop after another shaky display at the back – his second in a row after his disappointing showing against Stuttgart in the Champions League – giving away a spot-kick early in the match for a late challenge on Marcus Thuram. ............

Di Canio praises Motta’s tactical approach in Inter-Juventus thriller Paolo Di Canio, former Juventus and Lazio striker turned TV commentator, shared his insights on the thrilling 4-4 draw between Inter and Juventus from the Sky studios. He began by framing the result in context: “Half a defeat for Inter and half a victory for Juve? Given how things unfolded, yes. Normally, we would have been discussing the defensive disaster, with poor individual and unit choices. There was a real lack of quality at that level. But instead, the spectacle prevails.” ............ “On a tactical level, Motta got everything right because he switched McKennie with Locatelli and pushed Fagioli up, essentially turning him into a forward. This way, if they recover the ball, they have the technical ability to play a vertical pass to Vlahovic. And if the pressing line is breached, there are two reliable players in front of the defense who know how to do this job, while Fagioli often struggles in that role. Things were going well for them.” ............ “But I liked Juve’s character, desire, and DNA. They seem like a complete team, especially in terms of mentality.” ............ .

Ciro Ferrara praises Juventus star for being difficult for Inter to stop Former Juventus player Ciro Ferrara has lavished praise on Kenan Yildiz, following the teenager’s game-changing performance in the dramatic 4-4 draw against Inter Milan. Despite starting the high-stakes match on the bench, Yildiz made a crucial impact after coming on, scoring twice late in the game to help the Bianconeri come back from a 4-2 deficit and rescue a vital point. ............ Yildiz, who had not yet scored in the league this season, was electric from the moment he stepped onto the pitch. His dynamic play and eye for goal created problems for the Inter defence, who struggled to cope with his pace and skill. The youngster’s brace not only salvaged a draw for Juventus but also solidified his reputation as a player capable of delivering in critical moments. Ferrara, watching as the action unfolded, was particularly impressed with Yildiz’s performance, describing him as a constant threat to defenders. The former Juventus defender commented: “Yildiz? He scored a brace, the boy had not yet scored in the championship. Yildiz is an annoying player and difficult to stop.” Ferrara’s choice of the word “annoying” highlights the youngster’s tenacity and persistence, qualities that make him a handful for opponents. ............ .
