Juventus vs Monza prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-05-24 16:00.
[p]A turbulent few weeks at Juventus in which manager Massimiliano Allegri was sacked immediately after winning the Coppa Italia showed no signs of slowing down on Monday night. The Bianconeri went 3-0 down against Bologna under interim boss Paolo Montero, but sensationally fought back to secure a draw, with all three of their strikes arriving after the 75th minute![/p]
[p]It was the first time in their Serie A history that Juventus trailed by three goals and avoided defeat, yet it sensationally marked their sixth consecutive draw in the league! Their top-five spot and qualification for the UEFA Champions League may already be secured, but the Juventus fans will be desperate for an improved performance to end the season, especially as another stalemate would mark their first run of seven consecutive Serie A draws since 1971! [/p]
[p]A 1-0 defeat against relegation-threatened Frosinone last weekend stretched Monza’s winless run to eight league matches (D3, L5) – their longest since promotion to the top-flight. Despite that, the Biancorossi can still achieve 100 points in total across their opening two Serie A seasons – a goal that coach Raffaele Palladino mentioned recently.[/p]
[p]With rumours circling of an imminent exit for Palladino, he’ll be desperate to sign off with a first away win in five outings (D2, L2). While a trip to the Allianz Stadium usually appears daunting, Monza may be primed to capitalise on their vulnerable hosts, especially having won the only top-flight H2H here last season 2-0.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Teenager Kenan Yildiz scored the equaliser against Bologna to take his tally to four this season, three of which arrived beyond the hour mark. Milan Djurić remains the main threat for Monza with three goals across the last three matches, while three of his last five goals were scored inside the opening ten minutes.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Juventus have scored before the break in just two of their last 11 league matches.[/p]
