It’s only been a week since Juventus and Monza last faced off in the Coppa Italia, but everything has changed since then.
The capital gains scandal that had been brewing for weeks came to a head on Friday, January 20th, when the federal prosecutor decided to dock Juventus 15 points in the league standings.
This has sent the team from their position as Scudetto contenders to the middle of the table, just one point ahead of Monza.
As the teams prepare to meet again on Sunday for a league match, Monza will be looking to take advantage of the current turmoil at Juventus and secure a win at the Allianz Stadium.

The Bianconeri, however, may have some new reinforcements on their side. Paul Pogba and Dusan Vlahovic, who were not available for the Coppa Italia match, could make their debut this Sunday.
The two players had a strong showing in a recent friendly match against Next Gen, with Pogba providing an assist for Vlahovic’s goal, suggesting that they could be a formidable duo on the field.
The objective for Juventus has also shifted since the last match. While they were previously focused on a Scudetto win, the recent penalties have made that goal unlikely for this season.
However, the team is still aiming for a spot in the Champions League, especially if the performance of the Milanese teams continues to be inconsistent.
