Juventus vs Monza prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-26 16:00.
[p]New Juventus manager Igor Tudorâs unbeaten Serie A streak lasted only three matches before their UEFA Champions League hopes suffered a major blow last Wednesday when they lost to relegation-threatened Parma 1-0. The Bianconeri started this round just one point outside of the top four, but with three of their remaining five matches coming against bottom-half sides, their chances are still firmly alive.[/p]
[p]The arrival of rock-bottom Monza has a âmust winâ feel to it for Juventus, and they should certainly be confident of doing so having won six of their last seven home league games (L1). Their strong home record has been particularly evident against teams outside of the top eight (W7, D3), and with five of those wins accompanied by a clean sheet, one goal could be enough for Juve to avoid successive league defeats for only the second time this season.[/p]
[p]Despite holding Scudetto-chasing Napoli goalless for more than 70 minutes, Monza suffered yet another defeat in the last round. After picking up only two points from the last 39 available (D2, L11) their relegation is almost sealed, and an end to their two-year stay in Serie A could be confirmed as early as this weekend if they lose here and any of the teams placed 17th-19th pre-round win their respective game. [/p]
[p]Six successive away league defeats against teams who started this round inside the top seven makes fairly ominous reading then, and given Monza conceded at least three goals on four occasions, they could go down in unspectacular fashion here. With only one away league victory to their name this season (D4, L11), and three consecutive H2H defeats, Monzaâs fate could well be sealed this weekend.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Kenan Yıldız recorded two of his six Serie A goals this season in Juventusâ last two home matches, with both strikes acting decisively in victories. Monza defender Georgios Kyriakopoulos has already contributed to eight competitive goals this season (G3, A5), scoring his sideâs first goal in nine of his ten professional goal scoring appearances.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Juventus have kept a joint-league high 15 Serie A clean sheets this season.[/p]
