Italian Soccer Serie A
Parma – Juventus 
It’s the Serie A kickoff match! Here is the Serie A Week 1 Preview for the game Parma vs Juventus on Saturday 24 August 2019 at the Ennio Tardini Stadium in Parma, Italy at 18:00.!
On paper, the favorite to win is Juventus. However, we might not rule out Parma to upset current reigning Italian champions. Bad news is that Juventus Coach Maurizio Sarri will not be present because of pneumonia. Juventus assistant coach Giovanni Martusciello will take Sarri’s place.
Parma is motivated after starting their 2019-20 campaign with a 3-1 win over Venezia in the Coppa Italia Third Round last weekend. Parma ended in the 14th position last season while Juventus in the 1st position.
New signing Aaron Ramsey has not been called up for this match because he continues to recover from injury. Challenge will be for Cristiano Ronaldo to start this season with goals to delight the fans and the Argentinean duo Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain, Manduzikic, and Douglas Costa ….. all ready to shine. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 28 goals in 43 appearances during his first season and he will want to improve that. Returning Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon also ready to show he is the best goalkeeper.
Will Parma upset Juventus? Oh boy!!!!! Will Juventus set the tone for their dominion in the Serie A again? Juventus winning eight consecutive Scudetto…. are we counting nine?
I am just ready to rumble!!!! Let’s roll the ball.
