Max Allegri can oversee another Juventus win

Paul Higham fancies Juventus to beat Monza on Friday night and has compiled a 9/25.50 Bet Builder on an away win.


Monza stunned Juventus by winning both Serie A meetings last season, so the Old Lady has a score to settle as they make the short trip to the outskirts of Milan.

And they're fancied at 19/201.95 to become the first team to win at Monza in Serie A this season - although they'll have to break down one of the best defences in the league to do so.

Massimiliano Allegri's side are in great form though, winning five on the spin before a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan kept them two points behind the leaders.

Juventus need a win here, but they'll have to work.

Leg 1: Juventus to win to nil

You can back Juventus to win to nil as a standalone bet at 21/103.10 and it looks the pick of the outrights here.

Monza haven't lost at home this season but they've had an extremely helpful fixture list, with Bologna the only team inside the top 11 in the table that have visited the Stadio Brianteo.

Even then, Monza have drawn four and only won two - against Empoli and Salernitana who both reside in the bottom three, so their home form looks a bit false right now.

Plus the one time they did play a decent team in Bologna they failed to score in a 0-0 draw, so coming up against a Juve defence that's the second-best in the division will be tough.

Juve have had five clean sheets in six away games this season - this looks likely to be another.

Leg 2: Under 2.5 goals

Without any comparable home form, you can look at Monza's away games at big teams and see they've put up a decent fight - losing 2-0 at Inter, 1-0 at Roma and drawing 1-1 at Lazio.

Monza will approach this like an away game and play defensively. Five of their six home games have gone under 2.5 goals and they can hold out here for another.

It's 13/201.65 on under 2.5 goals here and, while there's a chance Juve could run away with it, Allegri loves a 1-0, as his last two away wins have shown.

Leg 3: Federico Chiesa 1+ shot on target

It's just 2/51.40 on Federico Chiesa to have 1+ shot on target, but it bumps our Bet Builder up enough and looks pretty much a sure thing.

He's had the joint-most shots on target in the squad and has registered at least one in eight of 12 matches this season.

It was tough against Inter but he got a shot away and also had an assist, which came on the back of him scoring twice from six shots on target in two games for Italy.

Chiesa is in form and will give Monza all kinds of problems.

Back Juventus to beat Monza to nil, under 2.5 goals & Chiesa 1+ shot on target @ 9/25.50
