Juventus welcome Parma to the Allianz Stadium on Saturday, August 29, for their first home game of the 2026-27 Serie A season.
Luciano Spalletti’s team started the season 1-0 up against Frosinone and will be aiming to go 2-0. Meanwhile, Parma are looking for their first points after a 1-0 home loss to Cagliari. The kickoff will be at 8:45 p.m. CEST.
Juventus will miss Kenan Yildiz, who was forced to miss the previous match due to a foot injury, until at least November. Also, Weston McKennie is unavailable due to fatigue and Khephren Thuram is a question mark.
New signing Jonathan Lucumí is confirmed to make his debut, while 19-year-old Kerim Alajbegović is one of the candidates to replace Yildiz, Spalletti confirmed. Randal Kolo Muani is likely to stay on the bench as Spalletti is asking for an improvement from the striker.
Juventus starting XI: Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Locatelli, Douglas Luiz; Francisco Conceicao, Jonathan David, Alajbegovic; Kolo Muani.
Parma are expected to stick with a 4-3-3 after their opening-day defeat. El Bilal Toure will be the main attacker and Adrian Bernabe will be a key creative player. Nicolussi Caviglia is not available.
Parma’s starting lineup: Corvi; Delprato, Troilo, Ndiaye, Valeri; Ordonez, Keita, Sorensen; Bernabe, Lontani, El Bilal Toure.
