Juventus vs. Monza Betting Preview
The Old Lady Went from Title Contenders to Tenth Place
Juventus’ title bid is all but over having been deducted 15 points after an investigation into past transfer dealings. The Old Lady went from title contenders to tenth place overnight.
Their form on the pitch recently has been excellent, however. Before a thumping 5-1 defeat to leaders Napoli, Max Allegri’s troops won eight Serie A games on the bounce to jump up the table. They beat the likes of Inter Milan and Lazio during that impressive streak.
Of course, the points deduction could still be overturned, but Juve will want to do their talking on the pitch. The Turin giants have had a tough time over the past couple of weeks, taking just one point from their last two and conceding eight goals in the process.
After the embarrassing loss in Naples, Juventus were held to a 3-3 draw by Atalanta in their first game since the points deduction. Danilo’s goal after 65 minutes rescued a point at the Juventus Stadium.
Monza are Enjoying their First Season in Serie A
Monza are enjoying a solid first season in Serie A. The White and Reds booked their spot in the top tier of Italian soccer after finishing fourth and winning the Serie B play-offs last term.
Like any promoted club, staying up is the ultimate ambition for Monza this year. They have had a steady first half to the season, racking up 22 points from 19 games. They have picked up six wins, drawn four times and have suffered nine defeats.
Monza have made themselves tough to beat in recent times. In fact, only Juventus (in the cup) have beaten the Ones from Brianza since they lost at Lazio in the league on November 10th. In Serie A, they have won two and drawn three of the last five and have lost just one of seven.
Raffaele Palladino’s boys have struggled for away wins this season, though they did leave Cremonese with all three points in their last league away game. Can they follow that up with a positive result in Turin?
Juventus are the bookies’ favorites in this one, but Monza could be a tough nut to crack at the Juventus Stadium. Keep reading for the latest Juventus odds and soccer picks.
Juventus vs. Monza Betting Prediction
Juventus made a slow start to the season, but their form from October to January has generally been excellent. The big loss to Napoli was a setback and Allegri will want his side to get back to winning ways after a defeat and a draw from their last two.
Monza have been very competitive in Serie A this season, and Palladino’s White and Reds look a good bet to stay up. They have picked up some eye-catching results, including the 1-0 win over Juve in the reverse match at the Stadio Brianteo back in September.
We fancy Bianconeri to get revenge in this one, and we like the look of the hosts to be winning at half-time and full-time at +140. Another Juventus prediction is the home team to win to nil at the solid soccer betting odds of +150.
