Monza come into the match having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Cagliari last weekend. It was Cagliari who opened the scoring in the 10th minute and they led 1-0 at the interval.
Monza scored the equaliser just after the hour mark but could not score the second goal to win the game.
The draw at Cagliari means Monza are undefeated in their 4 most recent fixtures, all of which have been played in Serie A.
There was a 3-1 win at Verona plus draws at home against Udinese and Torino.
Despite being tough to beat in recent matches, Monza have been struggling to win games and they have recorded just 1 victory from their last 5 matches in Serie A.
Monza are proving to be a difficult team to play against in Serie A and they are undefeated in 9 of their 10 most recent league fixtures.
Trends show Monza have not been beaten in their last 6 straight home clashes in Serie A and have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of their last 9 home Serie A games.
Juventus travel to the U-Power Stadium on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Inter Milan.
It was Juventus who opened the scoring in the 27th minute but they failed to hold on to the lead for long and Inter Milan equalised 6 minutes later to take a point.
The draw with Inter Milan means Juventus are undefeated in their 8 most recent fixtures, all of which have been played in Serie A.
Juventus have won 5 of their last 6 Serie A matches, with the wins coming over Torino, Verona, and Cagliari at home plus AC Milan and Fiorentina away.
Away form in Serie A shows Juventus are undefeated in 6 of their 7 most recent games on the road.
They are undefeated in each of their last 3 away Serie A matches and have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of those 3 games.
Team news: Monza continue without suspended midfielder Alejandro Gomez. They also have Armando Izzo and Gianluca Caprari on the treatment table.
Juventus have two players of their own unavailable for off-pitch reasons, with Nicolò Fagioli and Paul Pogba unable to play. Timothy Weah, Danilo, and Mattia De Sciglio are injured.
This is going to be a close game and we expect there to be under 2.5 goals scored in total.
In fact, it would not be a shock to see just a single goal scored in this match and with Juventus having the superior quality in attack, it could be The Old Lady who come away with maximum points.
