Juventus vs. Monza – Betting Preview
The Bianconeri enter the weekend matches in crisis mode!
The Old Lady must win in order to maintain its chances of playing in the Champions League after receiving a 15-point deduction for purported dishonest accounting.
Juventus Preview
As Monza is ready to travel to Turin on Sunday afternoon, the two teams are only separated by one point. The Bianconeri’s problems were made worse on Sunday when they twice let leads go against Atalanta, but the Old Lady is still in it for the long haul.
The gap between Massimiliano Allegri’s team and the top four is 14 points going into matchday 20 as a result of their points punishment. Having said that, they have won seven of their previous eight games overall and are still in the running for the Coppa Italia and the Europa League.
So, against a squad that pulled off a shock victory in the reverse matchup, Saturday’s game offers the ideal chance to send a message.
Juventus have improved significantly since then, and even with their shaky defence are strong favourites to win on Sunday.
Monza Preview
Even though they are the favourites, the hosts this weekend are not going to have an easy victory.
Monza has also made strides in recent weeks; their lone loss in six games came in the cup against the Bianconeri. Federico Chiesa’s goal gave Juventus a slim victory that day, and a similar result is anticipated second time around.
The Brianzoli have been unbeaten in Serie A since the season resumed, earning draws against Inter and Fiorentina. Despite being less likely, a wager on a draw would yield much higher rewards.
This weekend, there is a good chance that goals will be scored. In their last three games, the visitors have scored six goals while giving up nine.
