AC Monza v Juventus
Friday 19:45 (Live on TNT Sports 3)
In Brazil last night, Bragantino lost 1-2 at home to Fortaleza and finished the game with nine men. Not the result we or they were looking for.
We're in Italy today for the Friday-night Serie A match between ninth-placed Monza and second-placed Juventus. We're backing the visitors to grab all three points.
Home and away, Monza have lost only one of their last 10 Serie A matches, but only two of those games were against top-10 outfits. Playing those teams, they are W0-D1-L3 this term - the draw did come in the solitary home game, against six-placed Bologna.
Juventus have won 5/6 home and away - only league leaders Inter have stopped them in that run. Since a surprise 4-2 defeat at Sassuolo, they have conceded just two goals across 8 Serie A home and away games. The Sassuolo match is the only road trip they've conceded on this season (W4-D1-L1).
Monza are W2-D4-L0 on their own patch. The wins have come against teams now in the bottom three. Across four other outings, they've scored only three goals. We fancy Juve to shut them out and sneak another away win this evening.
