Monza vs Juventus Predictions

• Juventus have won five of their last seven away matches, all to nil
• Monza have lost just once in their last ten matches
• Just one of Juve’s last eight games have gone over 2.5 goals

Brilliant Brianteo record to remain?

Juventus are in the hunt for a first Scudetto since 2020 and sit just two points behind current leaders Inter Milan in Serie A following their draw with those title-rivals on Sunday, which would suggest they would have no issues heading to ninth-placed Monza on Friday – but that is far from the case.

The hosts did the league double over the Old Lady last season, winning both matches to nil, and have been in exceptional form at the Stadio Brianteo this term.

Monza are unbeaten in all of their six home matches this season and have conceded just three goals in those games, suggesting they will be a tough nut to crack on Friday.

Unlikely to be many goals in Monza

Juve may struggle to break down a resolute defence at Stadio Brianteo and they are far from being the most potent side in Italy’s top flight.

They have scored two goals in a game just twice in their last eight matches, with only one of those games seeing the ball hit the net on three occasions.

Similarly, Monza have a habit of being involved in low-scoring affairs – in no small part down to their sturdy defence – having seen just two of their last ten matches go over 2.5 goals.

With both league meetings between these sides last season remaining under a total of three goals, and the two teams’ tendencies to be involved in games under that number this term, the same outcome looks likely on Friday.
