Prediction
Juventus will have plenty to prove after their loss to Atalanta a couple of days ago. It has been a disastrous season for Juventini, and many fans are incensed after Andrea Agnelli’s decision to help lead a European Super League. Some fans were excited by the venture, but many were not and made their displeasure clear in the form of signs at the stadium.
It is a tight race in the top four, and Juve need to make sure they secure the full three points at home against a Parma side who are coming off a tough loss of their own. And their defeat to Cagliari over the weekend could have just sealed their relegation to Serie B.
