Since Monza’s promotion to Italy’s top flight in 2022-2023, they’ve consistently finished in mid-table positions. This summer, they hired Italian legend Alessandro Nesta to take the club further. However, his defensive shortcomings have left the club in the relegation zone, currently 19th out of 20 in Serie A.
Biancorossi have managed just one win in 16 matches, a 3-0 victory against Hellas Verona. They’ve accumulated only ten points during this period, with seven draws and eight losses.
Nesta’s team conceded a relatively modest 21 goals but scored only 14. Not many teams have scored fewer, with Monza averaging less than one goal per game. They were also eliminated from the Coppa Italia following a 4-0 defeat to Bologna. The club urgently needs a turnaround, with fans increasingly calling for Nesta’s resignation.
Alessio Cragno, Matteo Pessina, Patrick Ciurria, Samuele Vignato, Andrea Petagna, and Milan Đurić will be sidelined.
When Juventus appointed Thiago Motta, fans hoped for the return of attacking football following his successful stint at Bologna. As was the case of Andrea Pirlo, Motta has found it challenging to put his ideas into practice. He’s been confronted with the squad’s limitations, forcing him to implement strategies unsuited to his players.
Having played defensive football for years, the team has struggled to adapt to Motta’s innovative ideas.
Juventus have been inconsistent, capable of brilliance one day and mediocrity the next. They defeated Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City 2-0 in a masterclass of efficient pragmatism, only to draw 2-2 a few days later with last-placed Venezia.
The Old Lady are the last remaining unbeaten team in the league, yet they sit a disappointing sixth. They’ve managed six wins from 16 matches, with the other 10 ending in draws.
Thiago Motta’s focus on an attacking approach has left his team vulnerable at the back. His rigid tactics have made the Old Lady inefficient in the final third. With struggles on both ends, this has become a recipe for disaster.
Bet hereWhile Juventus remain inconsistent, it would be surprising to see Monza pull off an upset. They haven’t won in months, while Dušan Vlahović has found form in front of goal in recent weeks.
Given Biancorossi’s struggles in front of goal, anything other than a Juventus win would be unexpected, especially as they are known for their high pressing.
The Old Lady may lack cohesion as a team, but their individual quality often bails them out.
Despite criticism for inconsistency, Vlahović has delivered in recent matches. He has contributed to goals in his last four games and remains the team’s top scorer with seven league goals.
Monza’s defensive frailties provide an ideal opportunity for Vlahović to capitalize on his form in this final match before Christmas.
