These Juventus vs. Monza predictions see the Bianconeri go into the weekend fixtures in crisis mode. The Old Lady has been docked 15 points for alleged false accounting and need a win to keep hopes of Champions League football alive.
Juventus vs. Monza odds
1 – Juventus to win – 7/12
2 – Juventus to win by one – 13/5
3 – A draw at full-time – 10/3
4 – Both teams to score – 28/29
5 – Over 2.5 goals scored– 13/14
Just one point separates the two teams as Monza prepare to visit Turin on Sunday afternoon. Twice sacrificing a lead against Atalanta on Sunday further exasperated the Bianconeri’s woes, however, all is not lost for the Old Lady.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side go into match day 20 with a 14-point gulf between them and the top four following their points penalty. That having been said, they have lost just one of their last eight matches in all competitions and remain in contention for both the Coppa Italia and the Europa League.
As a result, Saturday’s game provides the perfect opportunity to make a statement against a team that pulled off a surprise win in the reverse fixture. Juventus have improved significantly since then, and even with their shaky defence are strong favourites to win on Sunday.
Despite their status as favourites, it is not likely to be an easy win for the hosts this weekend. Monza have similarly improved in recent weeks, with their only defeat in six games coming against the Bianconeri in the cup. On that day, a Federico Chiesa goal ensured a narrow win for Juventus, with a similar score-line likely this time around.
Since Serie A restarted, the Brianzoli have been undefeated in the league, securing draws against both Inter and Fiorentina. A punt on a draw, whilst less likely, would provide significantly more returns.
One thing that is highly likely this weekend is that there will be goals. The visitors have conceded nine goals in their last three games, scoring six in the same period, while the hosts have neither failed to score nor kept a clean sheet since the league restarted. Bets therefore on both teams to score or on over 2.5 goals scored should be safe for this weekend’s encounter.

Juventus team news
A host of injuries means Massimiliano Allegri is unlikely to make many changes to the side that drew with Atalanta. Federico Chiesa may be judged fit enough to start but Paul Pogba, Dusan Vlahovic, Juan Cuadrado and Leonardo Bonucci are all expected to miss out.
Monza team news
Raffaele Palladino may look to make a number of changes to the side that started against Sassuolo. The coach was clearly unhappy with his starting eleven, making three changes at half time – Marlon Santos and Andrea Petagna making way for Pablo Mari and Dany Mota respectively. Nicolo Rovella may look to start against his parent club, while Stefano Sensi has returned from injury.
