Juventus v Monza: Match preview, team news and predicted lineups
Published
3 weeks agoon
Juventus take on Monza on Saturday in a Serie A clash with minimal implications for either side. The Bianconeri are guaranteed a third-place finish at best, while Monza’s safety from relegation is already assured.
Juventus are in a rut, having been held to draws in their last five league games and picking up only two wins in their previous 15 outings. This slump ultimately led to the sacking of Massimilano Allegri, with Paolo Montero taking the reins on an interim basis.
Monza haven’t fared better either, failing to win any of their last eight Serie A matches. Interestingly, they managed to win both of their matches over Juventus last season, although the most recent meeting in December saw Juve emerge victorious with a dramatic stoppage-time winner.
The primary motivation for Juventus will be to avoid setting another unwanted Serie A club record: seven consecutive draws. Another loss would mark a disappointing end to a frustrating season for the Turin giants.
Meanwhile, Monza will be aiming to claim a second victory at the Allianz Stadium this season and put a more positive spin on their otherwise underwhelming campaign.
