Team News
Parma:
Parma remain without several attacking options. Benedyczak, Mihaila, Charpentier, Cancellieri, and Kowalski are all sidelined, making Ange Bonny and Mateo Pellegrino the default strike partnership. Defender Yordan Osorio is also injured. Chivu may stick with his compact 3-5-2 system as he aims to grind out another point.
Juventus:
Juventus are missing defensive stalwart Bremer and backup keeper Mattia Perin. Juan Cabal and Arek Milik are also out. However, Tudor has enough depth to compensate, with Vlahovic expected to lead the line and Yildiz supporting. Weston McKennie and Koopmeiners will be crucial in driving midfield momentum.
