Parma suffered a crushing defeat in the last round. The Crusaders faced Atalanta away, and from the opening minutes the match did not go to plan. Scamacca's goal on 15 minutes and De Roon's on 24 gave the hosts a comfortable start. The Bergamaschi continued what they started and in the second half scored the same number. It wouldn't be right to say that Cuesta's charges had no chances. The same Pellegrino could have reduced the deficit, but could not beat Carnesecchi. Parma's previous match ended goalless. Gialloblu hosted Genoa and the match finished with a predictable dry result. Before that, the team had drawn 0-0 with Napoli. Juventus on Wednesday faced Monaco in the Champions League. After the Napoli match, some players of the 'bianconeri' were rested. The lineup that took the field at Stade Louis II differed from the one that hammered Napoli. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for Monaco's dominance. A dry draw, however, did not prevent the Turin side from advancing to the next stage of the European competition. There were no problems for the Old Lady in the last round. Goals from David, Yildiz and Kostic gave the team a crushing victory over the Partenopei. The first-leg match ended in a comfortable Juventus 2-0 victory. The Turinese fired 25 shots, had an xG of around three, but only Vlahovic and David managed to convert their chances. Underperformance relative to expected goals often accompanies the Old Lady's games. According to the xG metric, the Turinese should have scored a little more than five goals more than they have. However, Parma have far larger deviations. Thus, the 'Gialloblu' could have scored another 9.9 goals, and by xGA — concede 10.22 more. Will the 'Crusaders' manage to take advantage of the opponent's dense schedule and adjust their goal metrics? Parma have not been scoring for three rounds, but this streak will evidently end. Juventus crushed Napoli in the previous round and are clearly in a good mood. A win in this game and rivals' slip-ups could lift Luciano Spalletti's charges to third place in the standings. The rest of the starting players in Monaco hints that the 'bianconeri' will not have problems with their physical condition. From this game one can expect goals.
