2026-2027 Serie A: Juventus vs. Parma—Probable Lineups

Juventus vs. Parma is the last early match on Saturday for the second matchday of Serie A, scheduled for 8:45 p.m. at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The Bianconeri won their first away game in Frosinone, though they didn’t exactly shine, while the Ducali were defeated at home by Cagliari.

Spalletti will be without Kenan Yildiz, who is out for three months with a foot injury. Kolo Muani will lead the attack; in the attacking midfield, Koopmeiners (favored over Alajbegovic) could start alongside Boga and Conceiçao. McKennie will also be out due to injury. In midfield, the trio of Douglas, Luiz, and Locatelli will start, with Kalulu and likely Celik (or Cambiaso) on the wings. In the center of the defense, Kelly and Lucumi are vying for the spot alongside Bremer.

Parma will field Britschgi, Touré, and Lontani in a three-man attack, with Konate in midfield flanked by Bernabé and Keita. The fullbacks will be Delprato and Valeri.

Juventus vs. Parma: Probable Lineups
JUVENTUS (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Celik; Douglas Luiz, Locatelli; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Boga; Kolo Muani.
PARMA (4-3-3): Corvi; Delprato, Troilo, N’Diaye, Valeri; Bernabè, Konate, Keita; Britschgi, Touré, Lontani. Coach: Cuesta

Regarding Alajbegovic, who will likely start on the bench again, Spalletti had this to say: “There are too many expectations. He’s a 19-year-old who came to play for Juve, so he has talent—and he’s shown it to us—but it’s only natural that he’s now eager to demonstrate his full potential. We won’t let this get to us, but given how he’s been welcomed into the group and his natural ability to handle a bit of pressure, I’m convinced he’ll be able to showcase his skills.”
