Monza vs Juventus tips and predictions

Club Friendly match offers big price against home glory

The total expected goals for this fixture is decent so this could be entertaining.

The away team is a level above this Monza side.

It's unlikely the home win will have lept off the screen but the short price favourites are just too short.

The hosts are coming into the match having bagged 5 wins from their last 7 games. Some previews have suggested that Juventus just need to turn up to get the win but that might just be a lot of hot air.

Monza are going to have to produce something out of this world. If the hosts have the self-belief to get the job done they'll be adding to a decent sequence of goal-scoring performances. The hosts have had some superb spells in their previous performances. They have scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 7 matches and that's been backed up from one to eleven. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 20 home games.

Juventus have actually conceded at least once in all of their last 15 matches. It could be a case of so near and yet so far the underdogs, but they really can do this.

In their last outing Monza walloped Pro Sesto, ultimately winning 3-0.

If Juventus are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It's not a strong view among today's fixtures but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value. Everything in this preview will rest on how the hosts adapt to a calibre of football they aren't used to.

So the visitors are obviously legitimate favourites but they are just too short to back. All football matches come down to which squad maintains composure under pressure. There could be some evidence that the gap between the two sides maybe isn't as significant as you think. A half-chance is sometimes all it takes. Monza at the price available is the pick.
