Analysis The numbers behind the result
Juventus dominate Parma in shot volume and xG
Juventus' 2-0 victory was fully deserved based on the balance of play, with their 1.68 xG comfortably exceeding Parma's meager 0.22. Despite 58% possession translating into just 6 shots on target from 21 total attempts, their constant pressure eventually told through Nicolás González's 62nd-minute opener and Teun Koopmeiners' late clincher (88'), assisted by Manolo Locatelli.
The hosts created almost twice as many shots from outside the box (11) as Parma managed in total (4), while restricting their opponents to just one off-target effort from distance. Juventus' 10 corners to Parma's 2 highlighted their territorial dominance, though their 90% pass accuracy in Parma's half ultimately produced only marginally more big chances (2) than the visitors (1).
The decisive stat was shot volume: Juventus' 21 attempts dwarfed Parma's 4, with Gonzalez and Koopmeiners converting the only two high-value chances (0.21 and 0.18 xG respectively) from an otherwise wasteful performance.
