Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a 4-4 draw with Inter, Juventus will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they take on Parma on Matchday 10. The Bianconeri showed character in the Derby di Italia and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Turkey rising star Kenan Yildiz should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace against the Nerazzurri, while all Nico Gonzalez, Arkadiusz Milik, and Bremer remain in the recovery room.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches. As Parma have yet to record a win on the road this term, we are tempted to bet on Juventus, who proved their worth in the draw with Inter. The likes of Osorio, Kowalski, and Circati are rated doubtful for the visiting team, while Gabriel Charpentier is pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Parma):
Founded in 1913, Parma is considered one of the most famous Italian clubs. The Gialloblu play home games in white shirts with a dark blue cross and dark blue shorts. Speaking of their away colours, Parma footballers wear yellow-blue kits on the travels. Parma have yet to win the Serie A trophy, but they did well to lift the UEFA Cup trophy on two occasions (1994/1995, 1998/1999).
To make things even better for Parma fans, the Gialloblu won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1992/1993 season, with the team beating Royal Antwerp in the title game 3-1. A number of top-class footballers played for Parma in the past: Hernan Crespo, Roberto Mancini, Juan Veron, Roberto Mancini, Dino Baggio, Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon.
The Gialloblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Ennio Tardini, which was opened in 1923. The venue can hold up to 27,906 spectators. Bologna are considered Parma’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
