Parma vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction Cristian Chivu’s reign as Parma’s new boss began with a 2-0 victory over top-four chasing Bologna, although since then the struggling Serie A side have gone on a winless run stretching to six games. Those include five consecutive draws leading to this big clash with Juventus at home. ............ While Chivu continues to struggle for a win, Juventus boss Igor Tudor secured his second last weekend against strugglers Lecce. Goals from Kenan Yildiz and Teun Koopmeiners proved enough to clinch three points that took them above Bologna in the table and into fourth spot. While Tudor’s reign has not yet yielded a defeat, this trip to Parma will be a test of his credentials away from home. The new Bianconeri boss has managed wins only on home soil and drew his solitary game away from home to in-form Roma. ............ Team News & Tactics Parma ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Suzuki; Leoni, Vogliacco, Valenti; Delprato, Bernabe, Keita, Sohm, Valeri; Pellegrino, Bonny Juventus Juventus continue to miss their long-term absentees such as Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and Federico Gatti. Samuel Mbangula will also miss out, but the big worry for Tudor will be with the fitness of last weekend’s goalscorers Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz, with the duo suffering from an Achilles problem and an impact injury in training respectively. Their status to start the game against Parma remains unclear, although Tudor will have solutions available at his disposal should he need to replace the duo. Francisco Conceicao and Nico Gonzalez are the best placed to come in the spots vacated by the duo, although Randal Kolo Muani could also stake a claim at one of those attacking positions. Beyond that, Tudor may not have any more concerns with his squad, as he might not make any changes to the other personnel. So, Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie could once again start in the wing-back roles, with Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram preferred in central midfield. Dusan Vlahovic will continue to lead the line and keep Randal Kolo Muani on the bench. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Gonzalez, Conceicao; Vlahovic Key Stats Parma have not defeated Juventus since 2015. Parma Calcio 1913 have drawn their last five matches in Serie A. Juventus are undefeated in 35 of their last 38 matches in Serie A. Juventus have won their last four away matches against Parma Calcio 1913 in all competitions. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic Igor Tudor’s decision to reinstate Vlahovic as his starting striker has paid dividends so far, with the Serbian playing a key role in both the wins for the new manager. The Serbian attacker has provided three assists for as many goals scored by Juventus against Genoa and Lecce combined. However, the bigger target would be for Vlahovic to start scoring himself. ............ Prediction Parma 1-2 Juventus Parma will enter this match as the underdogs, although their recent form under Cristian Chivu against the big teams has been good enough for them to dream about taking something from this game. ............ However, Juventus are under more pressure to deliver a top-four place in the games remaining this season. Tudor will probably push his team over the line and get the first away win of his Juventus tenure, as well as strengthen their hold on a top-four place. The Bianconeri are expected to break Parma’s resilience and get three valuable points in the bag. .

Possono battere chiunque e possono perdere contro chiunque

A proposito, se il Bologna dovesse vincere la coppa Italia, andrebbe di diritto in Champions liberando un posto?

Comunque dovevamo battere il Parma ma se il Bologna non avesse vinto stasera avremmo incrementato il vantaggio mentre cosí ce li abbiamo sempre alle calcagna.

Sono d'accordo ma il nostro avversario attuale é il Bologna non l'Inter. Non siamo mica (purtroppo) in lotta per lo scudetto.

Se speriamo nel Milan siamo messi male .....

E appunto dicevo che non potevamo tifare Bologna da Juventini. Contento per la sconfitta dell'Inter naturalmente ma ora siamo di nuovo quinti.

Il Bologna vince. Domani ci tocca battere per forza il Parma.

Ah ok. Grazie.

Scusate, per chi sta vedendo la partita. Ma chi guida la squadra dalla panchina dell'Inter ora con Inzaghi squalificato e il vice espulso oggi?

Io penso che solo i tifosi del Napoli tifino per il Bologna

Oggi tocca fare il tifo per l'Inter. Chi l'avrebbe detto?

A noi tifosi juventini andrebbe bene che perdesse il Bologna e vincessero i tripletisti. Tu speri probabilmente in un altro risultato.

Sono stato anche io nello staff per diversi anni. Mi sembra che Mamozio si sia evoluto. All'inizio diceva di essere juventino e temeva che il Napoli vincesse per non essere preso in giro dai suoi concittadini. Ora non lo leggo piú molto ma, da quello che dite voi, é come se avesse fatto outing!

In tal caso sono nei guai. Gli onori terreni non contano piú quando hai perso la tua anima per l'eternitá.

C'é ma non so in che condizioni sia.

Tudor set to tweak his formation against Parma: Vlahovic & Kolo Muani to start? Juventus manager Igor Tudor could unleash the attacking partnership of Dusan Vlahovic and Randal Kolo Muani against Parma. Since taking over from the sacked Thiago Motta, the Croatian implemented a 3-4-2-1 formation. Vlahovic has been the undisputed starter upfront, while Kenan Yildiz and Teun Koopmeiners have been acting as a support crew. However, the Turkish teenager suffered a knock in training while the Dutch midfielder sustained an Achilles tendon problem during last week’s victory over Lecce. ............ This situation will prompt the 46-year-old to tweak his system, adopting a 3-5-2 formation. Hence, Kolo Muani could connect with Vlahovic in attack. This would be the Frenchman’s first start under Tudor. Nicolas Gonzalez should retain his spot on the right wing following his improved displays, while Andrea Cambiaso could make his way back to the starting lineup following his injury ordeal. ............ Finally, the backline will pick itself in the absence of the injured Federico Gatti and Gleison Bremer, so Pierre Kalulu, Renato Veiga and Lloyd Kelly will certainly start at the back. ............ Juventus (3-5-2): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Renato Veiga, Kelly; Nico Gonzalez, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie, Cambiaso; Kolo Muani; Vlahovic .

Tudor: Juventus expecting a difficult match against Parma As there continues to be head-to-head-matchups between teams in the top six in Serie A, Juventus are set to play one of their final away games of the season Monday night when they face relegation-threatened Parma. ............ Turning the attention to his own team’s next fixture, Tudor admitted that things won’t be simple and easy against Parma, a side that enters Matchday 33 in 16th place — four points above the relegation zone — and having recorded five straight draws, including ones against league leaders Inter Milan and Fiorentina in back-to-back weekends. “We’ve had a long week of work which is a positive thing,” said Tudor, whose team has recorded seven points out of a possible nine since he took over for Thiago Motta during the March international break. “We’ve pushed hard to prepare ourselves as best we can for all the pitfalls that a team doing well can present. We’re expecting a difficult match.” ............ One issue that has transferred over from Motta’s time as manager to Tudor’s first three games has been Juventus’ ability to defend set pieces. Both of the goals that Juventus have allowed during Tudor’s time as manager — one against Roma and another against Lecce — have come off set pieces. “Set pieces? Clearly this is a focus for us, but it bears repeating that it’s a physiological issue as well,” Tudor said. “We’re lacking a bit of experience and possibly a bit of guile, and we risk paying for this on smaller details like set pieces. We’re working to accelerate growth and the boys are aware of this and willing to do what needs to be done.” ............ “In general, I see that the team is growing, increasing intensity in defense, especially when defending high up the pitch,” Tudor said. “But the positive thing is that there’s a desire to be aggressive in our compactness. I’m expecting a serious game in which we will do what we’ve practiced. Parma showed us against Inter that they are a team to pay close attention to, we mustn’t make any mistakes because they deserved that 2-2 draw.” .

Moggi does not think Juventus and Conte would ever happen again Several reports indicate that Juventus may appoint Antonio Conte as their manager at the conclusion of the current season, despite his present role at Napoli. ............ At present, Igor Tudor is in charge on an interim basis, managing the team until the season’s end, when the club is expected to make a definitive decision regarding the managerial position. ............ There is speculation among supporters and neutral observers that Tudor will not retain his role beyond this term and may be replaced by Conte. However, this perspective is not universally held. Former Juventus executive Luciano Moggi has expressed scepticism about such a scenario materialising and believes the club has missed the opportunity to secure Conte’s return. Moggi stated: “I think Conte could stay at Napoli because he has the chance to win the Scudetto. Maybe with Conte, Juventus would be in a much better position than they are now; they certainly wouldn’t have drawn as many times as Thiago Motta. There was a chance to sign him when they chose Thiago Motta. I don’t know why they didn’t sign him, but now… Conte at Juventus is a finished story.” ............ .

Preview: Parma vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Both battling for different objectives at either end of the Serie A standings, Parma and Juventus will clash at Stadio Tardini on Monday. While the Gialloblu are fighting for survival, Juve aim to secure a top-four finish and salvage something from another below-par campaign. Match preview Taking them back into the top four at Bologna's expense, Juventus edged out lowly Lecce last weekend, with first-half strikes from Kenan Yildiz and Teun Koopmeiners proving enough to claim maximum points. The Turin club conceded late on, but they ultimately held out for a 2-1 win, continuing their springtime upturn under interim coach Igor Tudor. ............ After beating both Genoa and Lecce on home turf - either side of an away draw with in-form Roma - Juve have now won eight of 13 league games in the second half of the season, and they hold their destiny within their own hands. Among seven sides still vying for two Champions League places, Tudor's team are therefore targeting a sprint to the Serie A finish line before featuring in FIFA's new Club World Cup. So, as Juve have won on their last three top-flight visits to the Tardini - already a club record - and have lost just one of their last 15 meetings with Parma, they will expect to prevail again on Monday evening. ............ Team News After both scored last week, Juventus have doubts about the availability of Koopmeiners and Yildiz - the former is struggling with an Achilles problem, while the latter suffered an impact injury in training. Since Igor Tudor took charge, Yildiz has started all three matches for the Bianconeri, but Francisco Conceicao and Randal Kolo Muani are on standby to replace the Turkish teenager if needed. Despite his recent goal drought, Dusan Vlahovic should spearhead a 3-4-2-1 formation. Parma are also one of just four teams currently in Serie A against whom the Serbian striker has yet to score (across 223 minutes in four previous meetings). Juve will head for Emilia-Romagna without long-term absentees Juan Cabal, Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik, while Federico Gatti and Samuel Mbangula are also sidelined. ............ Parma possible starting lineup: Suzuki; Vogliacco, Leoni, Valenti; Del Prato, Bernabe, Keita, Sohm, Valeri; Pellegrino, Bonny Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Gonzalez, Conceicao; Vlahovic We say: Parma 0-1 Juventus Having cast off the shackles, Juventus are finally finding some form, and they should have too much firepower for Parma to withstand. Though the Gialloblu have tightened up under new management, they sometimes struggle to score goals - and that could yet cost them a place in Serie A. .

Tudor: ‘Caretaker is an ugly word, every coach lives one day at a time’ Igor Tudor gives important injury updates for Juventus against Parma and insists he dislikes being called a ‘caretaker’ manager. ‘That is such an ugly word. Every coach lives one day at a time.’ It kicks off at the Stadio Tardini on Monday at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT). ............ Very few believe that he will have his contract extended beyond the end of this season, so does he feel more like a caretaker or a coach? “I reply the way I always have done, that it’s such an ugly word,” said the Croatian in his press conference. “When a coach arrives, he can be fired even if he’s got a five-year contract all signed. Every coach lives one day at a time. You can’t plan too far ahead, you build the future today, you take lessons from the past, but thinking about the future too much creates nothing except anxiety. ............ “We had a few problems, Kenan Yildiz had some issues and worked a little bit with the group, so we’ll see tomorrow. Teun Koopmeiners also did a bit, but he is a major doubt to feature in the match. We are still missing Mbangula and Gatti,” said Tudor. ............ “We’ve been working together for 2-3 weeks now and the squad is improving, we increased the intensity to win back the ball quickly. We need to be aggressive and united, that is an objective.” ............ “I don’t expect any step, that’s what you said. I just expect a great performance. Parma pressed Inter high to fight back and get a point, so there’s no guarantee they’ll be passive and invite us forward.” Finally, Tudor said he was impressed with defender Renato Veiga, who arrived in January on loan from Chelsea. “He is 22 and has the character of a 30-year-old. He’s quick, has quality, communicates with his teammates, and it’s rare people get past him. He can improve in certain things, we’re still working, but he has a bright future ahead of him and I told him it all depends on him.” .

What sort of offer would persuade Juventus to sell Federico Gatti? Federico Gatti continues to be one of the most dependable performers in the current Juventus squad, and his consistency has not gone unnoticed. The Italian defender, who has featured prominently under multiple managers at the club, is reportedly attracting growing interest from abroad. ............ Gatti has embraced life in Turin and remains committed to Juventus, but interest from the Premier League could complicate the club’s efforts to keep him. Newcastle United and Everton are among the clubs keeping a close eye on the Italy international, and there is growing speculation that either side could make a move for him in the summer. ............ While Juventus are keen to retain his services, they may be open to a sale under the right conditions. The report suggests that a bid in the region of €25 million could be enough to persuade the Bianconeri to part ways with the centre-back. ............ While €25 million may appear to be a reasonable valuation, Juventus must ensure that they are in a position to bring in a defender who can match or exceed Gatti’s contributions. Until that certainty is secured, retaining him should remain a priority. . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/what-sort-of-offer-would-persuade-juventus-to-sell-federico-gatti/

Juventus could offer two players to Newcastle United for Tonali Juventus’ reported interest in Sandro Tonali appears to be more substantial than previously assumed, as speculation surrounding a potential move continues to persist. The ongoing rumours suggest that the Bianconeri’s pursuit of the midfielder may be a serious long-term ambition rather than a fleeting link. ............ Since joining Newcastle United, Tonali has delivered performances that have further elevated his reputation. The Premier League club regard him as a crucial part of their future and one of their most valuable assets. ............ Despite Newcastle’s strong position and the lack of any financial pressure to sell, Juventus are reportedly still keen to bring Tonali back to Italy. The Bianconeri are exploring a deal that would involve offering players as part of the transfer package to reduce the overall fee. With Tonali’s valuation believed to be around €70 million, Juventus are said to be considering including both Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz to help offset the cost. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle would entertain such an arrangement, especially given Tonali’s status within the team. However, a key factor could be the midfielder’s own stance on the matter. Should he express a desire to return to Serie A, the club may be more inclined to consider negotiations. ............ .
