In those aforementioned six matches in which Parma had shown signs of improvement, they had scored just four goals. They have been one of the duller teams to watch in the Italian top-flight with their 22 matches having consisted of just 40 goals. Juve are beginning to find some fluency in the final third but it isn’t consistent so while they are still favourites for this one, it is expected to be a low-scoring affair at the Ennio Tardini.
