Monza

In the last round, Alessandro Nesta's side suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Lecce. As a result, Monza extended their winless streak in the league to eight matches (3 draws, 5 losses). However, they have managed to score in their last four Serie A matches. In the standings, the team has only ten points and is second from the bottom.

Midfielders Matteo Pessina and Roberto Gagliardini, along with forward Milan Djuric, will miss the game due to injuries. Midfielder Daniel Maldini is suspended.

• The team has not won in their last 12 home Serie A matches (4 draws, 8 losses).
• No more than 2 goals were scored in 6 of the last 9 home league games.
• The number "1" appeared in the final score in 8 of Monza's last 9 home Serie A matches.

Juventus

Thiago Motta's side drew 2-2 with Venezia at home in their last outing. Juventus has dropped points in four consecutive league games but has extended their unbeaten run to 24 matches (8 wins, 16 draws). Notably, the club conceded in three consecutive Serie A games for the first time this season. The Turin side sits sixth in the standings with 28 points.

Defenders Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal, midfielder Timothy Weah, and forward Arkadiusz Milik will miss the match due to injuries.

• The team is unbeaten in their last 11 away Serie A matches (3 wins, 8 draws).
• Juventus scored exactly twice in 5 of their last 7 league games.
• The Turin side kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 away Serie A matches.

Monza vs. Juventus: Match Prediction

Monza's current position in the standings seems justified. The team has won only once since the start of the league, and even home advantage hasn't helped them secure maximum points. They have yet to win at home this season, suffering five defeats in eight matches, including in each of the last three.

Juventus, despite a recent string of draws, can still aim for a win against one of the league's current underdogs. In seven away games this season, the team has secured three victories, and two of their four draws came against strong teams like Milan and Inter. Additionally, Juventus won both previous Serie A encounters with Monza. My prediction: Juventus to win
