5. Injuries & Suspensions (with impact)
Juventus:
- Fabio Miretti (thigh injury, early Sept) – rotation MF, minor loss.
- Nicolò Savona (ankle injury, back in training) – depth RB, limited impact.
Parma:
- Botond Balogh (suspended) – starting CB, weakens defensive spine.
- Hernani (thigh injury, doubtful) – 15+10 apps, 1333 mins, 3G, 3A, key midfielder missing.
- Matija Frigan (CF, cruciate ligament – long-term) – new striker unavailable, major blow.
- Jacob Ondrejka (injured, Nov return) – squad depth reduced.
6. Predicted Outcome
Juventus enters with a reinforced attack (David + Kolo Muani + Vlahovic), supported by Yildiz and Thuram’s creativity. Parma suffers from the loss of Balogh (suspended) and Hernani’s likely absence, which strips both defensive solidity and midfield creativity.
Likely Result: Juventus 3 – 0 Parma
Juventus’ superior squad depth and finishing power should comfortably overwhelm Parma’s limited offensive options.
