Monza vs Juventus Predictions

• Monza are on a run of three successive defeats
• Juventus’ last five wins have all been accompanied by a clean sheet
• The hosts have failed to score in four of their last eight outings

Will Monza pull off an upset?

Monza’s form is desperately poor, with a nine-match winless run meaning they head into this round sitting in deep trouble in the Serie A relegation zone.

The White and Reds are five points from safety, not helped by losing their last two league games against Udinese and Lecce.

Those results followed a 4-0 thrashing to Bologna in the cup, which ultimately means Alessandro Nesta’s side have suffered six defeats across their last nine fixtures, failing to score in four of those games.

Juve beginning to fire

The bad news for the hosts is that their visitors arrive at Stadio Brianteo having gone twelve games without losing across all competitions.

The most recent of those matches was a 4-0 thrashing of Cagliari in the Coppa Italia in midweek, a fourth win during the unbeaten streak.

That shows the Old Lady are drawing a lot of games, but they are also keeping a lot of clean sheets, six during that period, while their last five wins have all been to nil.

I predict that Juve will win this game without conceding, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
