Head-to-Head
These sides met twice on the 2022-23 Serie A schedule and new boys Monza came away with two wins. Christian Gytkjaer scored a historic winner in Monza’s first-ever Serie A match vs. Juventus, which finished 1-0. Monza managed an impressive 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture at the Allianz Stadium. In between, Juventus took down Monza 2-1 in the Coppa Italia round of 16.
Monza Rescue Point at Cagliari
Monza extended their unbeaten run to four games as they drew 1-1 at Cagliari last Sunday. Visitors Monza conceded within the first ten minutes as Cagliari’s Alberto Dossena bundled the ball in on a rebound. Monza’s equalizer came on a header by substitute forward Mirko Maric. It was the Croatian’s first-ever Serie A goal. While Monza aren’t unhappy with a point, coach Raffaele Palladino is certainly not thrilled that they’ve conceded in five straight matches.
Still, they didn’t concede more than one goal in any of those games and last conceded two or more goals in a match three months ago. Here, the Serie A betting odds price Monza as +275 underdogs. Heading into Matchday 14, Monza hold a 4-6-3 Serie A record and they’re an unbeaten 2-4-0 at home.
Two of Monza’s key players are midfielders Matteo Pessina and Roberto Gagliardini. Pessina, Gagliardini and Andrea Colpani are the only three Monza players who have started every Serie A match this season. Colpani, a forward/attacking midfielder, leads the team with six goals, and he’ll certainly be in the starting lineup on Friday. Armando Izzo and Gianluca Caprari are out injured for hosts Monza.
Juventus Share Spoils With Inter
Last Sunday Juventus hosted Inter Milan in the biggest match in Italian soccer. The Derby d’Italia finished in a 1-1 draw, a decent result for both sides. However, Inter did put an end to Juve’s five-game Serie A winning streak. Second-placed Juventus remain two points behind leaders Inter and will be looking for all three points on Friday to stay in the thick of the title race. Currently, the AC Monza vs Juventus odds list visitors Juventus as +105 favorites.
With no European competition this season, Juventus have been one of the best soccer bets today in Serie A. They’re unbeaten in their last eight games and hold a respectable 4-1-1 road record. Inter’s two most dynamic players, Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic, combined for their opening goal in the Derby d’Italia. Inter’s Lautaro Martinez equalized a few minutes laters as the sides shared the spoils.
Inter have dealt with a number of injuries and suspensions this season. Absences forced coach Massimiliano Allegri to hand midfielder Hans Nicolussi his first-ever Serie A start. Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli remain out due to suspensions, while Tim Weah, Danilo and Mattia De Sciglio are nursing injuries.
Match Analysis & Odds
Last season, Monza completed an improbable season sweep of Juventus in the Lombardy club’s first-ever Serie A campaign. They’ll look to extend their Serie A winning streak over the Bianconeri to three games on Friday. However, Monza are +275 underdogs and bettors can take Monza pk, +0.5 at +125 odds.
The AC Monza vs Juventus odds also list Juventus as +105 favorites. That corresponds to an implied 48.8 percent chance of victory. Juventus will look to extend their scoring streak to seven matches but punters should note they last scored three goals in a match in mid September.
Juventus pk, -0.5 sits at -145 odds for this one but this won’t necessarily be an easy match. Monza would certainly be content with a draw and one comes in at +250 odds here. Meanwhile, in what’s expected to be a low-scoring match, under 2.5 goals are priced at -135. Even though Juventus have the more talented roster on paper, Allegri’s style often limits chances for both sides.
