Juventus vs Monza Predictions
- Monza have only lost one of their last six games – a 2-1 Coppa Italia defeat on this ground last week.
- Juventus have won five of their last seven matches, but only once have they triumphed by more than one goal in that run – 3-0 against Lazio in November.
- Monza have only lost by more than one goal once in their last 16 games – 4-1 at champions Milan.
- The visitors managed a 1-0 win over the Bianconeri at home earlier this season.
Bianconeri in crisis
The announcement of a 15-point deduction for Juventus following an investigation into their historic transfer dealings has rocked the Turin giants, leading to hefty bans for club executives and giving rise to suggestions key players may depart in the now likely event of the Bianconeri failing to finish in the top four. Things have also been chaotic on the pitch recently, with Massimiliano Allegri’s men losing 5-1 at Napoli and drawing 3-3 with Atalanta – and they may not have it all their own way this week.
Visitors Monza have only lost one of their last six games, a 2-1 Coppa Italia defeat at Juventus in which they gave a good account of themselves. Monza beat Juve 1-0 on home soil earlier this season, and they will be no pushovers on Sunday – only Milan have beaten them by more than one goal in their last 16 games, a run which comprises Raffaele Palladino’s entire spell in charge. Meanwhile, they have scored 11 goals in their last six outings and could well carry a threat.
Juventus, meanwhile, have won six of their last eight games, and but for that deduction – which they are sure to challenge, they would be second in the table, albeit 12 points behind Napoli. However, Allegri’s men have not been renowned for blowing teams away: they have only won one of their last seven games by more than one goal, with that 3-0 victory against Lazio coming in November. Monza will thus be confident of staying in the game.
Juventus heavy favourites, but don’t rule out Monza
While Juventus are clear favourites for victory on home soil, where they have won seven and drawn three of their 10 Serie A outings this term, we do not expect Monza to be brushed aside. Backing the visitors +2 on the handicap makes sense, with off-pitch matters potentially distracting Juve.
Meanwhile, we’re tipping Juve for a repeat of their recent 2-1 cup win over Monza, who have only failed to score once in their last 11 matches.
