Team News
With Teun Koopmeiners (Achilles) and Kenan Yildiz (impact injury) major doubts, Francisco Conceicao and Kolo Muani could become their respective replacements.
Federico Gatti and Samuel Mbangula remain on the injury list alongside long-term absentees Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik.

Players to watch
Juventus - Dusan Vlahovic
Vlahovic, who has yet to score against Parma, has scored nine goals in 25 league games this season. He could line up alongside French international Kolo Muani should Tudor switch to a 3-5-2 tactical system if key player Yildiz is absent.
Serbia star Vlahovic, the highest paid player in the Italian top tier, is Tudor's favorite Serie A striker. Although he has yet to score in Tudor's three matches, he has set up a trio of goals.
Parma - Ange-Yoan Bonny
The French forward has found the back of the net six times for the strugglers this season, yet is attracting the attention of Serie A giants AC Milan and Napoli.
The 22-year-old has a golden opportunity to impress scouts inside the cosy Stadio Ennio Tardini, and could even tempt Juventus to monitor him as his price tag would be a bargain compared to the big names that the Bianconeri have on their radar.
Expected line-ups
Parma possible starting XI:
Suzuki; Vogliacco, Leoni, Valenti; Del Prato, Bernabe, Keita, Sohm, Valeri; Pellegrino, Bonny
Juventus possible starting XI:
Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie, Conceicao; Muani, Vlahovic
Old Juve prediction
Parma 0 Juventus 2
Despite both being draw specialists this season, Juventus have 14 stalemates compared to Parma's 13, they each favor pressing forward with the focus on attacking opponents.
Tudor has ensured that Juve are solid in defense, although is still ironing out how to create more scoring chances. Vlahovic is desperate to break his duck under his new boss and if Yildiz is absent then he can step into the limelight.
With precious points up for grabs, and the teams at opposite ends of the table, a hard-fought battle is expected. A draw for Parma would make history, as the club have never scored six stalemates on the spin.
