Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri returns to the side he somehow saved from relegation last season after a dramatic rise during the backend of the 06-07 season.

Current Parma boss Domenico Di Carlo certainly has his own worries with increasing pressure building around his position at the club. Parma's away form is poor, but the home form is enough to cause Juventus to respect their opponents.

Defensively Parma's back line has been breached far too frequently for their liking, only Livorno have let in more goals. While Bernardo Corradi has offered Parma a cutting edge up front, he has four Serie A goals to his name so far, and Juventus will do well to pay him some close attention.

Giuseppe Cardone and Igor Budan are on the sidelines through injury and Fernando Couto is still suspended after his spitting incident against Livorno in Week 9.

Pavel Nedved is sitting out a one game ban and Ranieri has problems at the heart of his defence, Jean Alain Boumsong and Jorge Andrade are still out injured meaning Nicola Legrottaglie and Giorgio Chiellini will be the central enforcers.
