Preview: Parma vs. Juventus

Serie A leaders Juventus travel to Parma this Sunday as they try to hold off Lazio, who sit five points adrift of the Old Lady in the table.

The visitors can extend their points total to 47 if they can pull off a victory on away turf, while Parma will be determined to cause an upset in order to edge closer to the top five positions.

The last time the two sides met at the Ennio Tardini Stadium it ended in a goalless draw, but Parma slumped to a 2-0 defeat in August last year when they went head to head with Juve at their home ground.

The hosts are likely to rely on the attacking threats of Jonathan Biabiany, Ishak Belfodil and Nicola Sansone, while Juventus will hope that Simone Padoin and Andrea Pirlo can control the midfield.
