Latest Juventus vs Monza team information
Dusan Vlahovic – a regular starter under Igor Tudor after being sidelined by Thiago Motta – is a doubt for Sunday after picking up a thigh injury against Parma.
Vlahovic, in a rare pairing with Randal Kolo Muani, was lacklustre before being substituted, and it remains unclear who will start in Tudor's favoured 3-4-2-1 formation.
Kenan Yildiz was fit enough to come off the bench in midweek and could start this game, while Teun Koopmeiners remains sidelined with an Achilles problem.
Juventus will also be without Federico Gatti (foot) and Samuel Mbangula (thigh), along with long-term injuries to Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik and Bremer.
As for Monza, they will be without Keita Balde, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Armando Izzo and captain Matteo Pessina - who has been absent for most of the season.
With Balde injured, Silvere Ganvoula or Gianluca Caprari could partner Dany Mota in attack – where Monza have only scored an average of 0.76 goals per game this season.
Latest expected lineup Juventus vs Monza
Juventus:
Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Gonzalez, Yildiz; Kolo Muani
Monza:
Turati; Pereira, Caldirola, Carboni; Birindelli, Castrovilli, Bianco, Akpa Akpro, Kyriakopoulos; Mota, Caprari
Latest Juventus vs Monza football review
After all Serie A matches on Easter Monday were postponed to commemorate the passing of Pope Francis, Juventus had to make up the lost game away to Parma on Wednesday and ultimately suffered a humiliating defeat at the Stadio Tardini.
The Bianconeri lost 1-0 to a weak Crociati side, failing to muster a single shot on target in the first half, and despite pressing late on they were unable to find an equaliser. Worse still, out-of-form striker Dusan Vlahovic was forced off after half-time with an injury.
Recent wins for Bologna and Lazio have also made Juventus' quest for Champions League qualification more difficult, as they are now among six teams competing for the remaining two spots.
Appointed to replace Thiago Motta last month, interim coach Igor Tudor suffered his first defeat since returning to Turin, after two wins and a draw. If Juventus continue to stumble, they could pay a heavy price.
Not only for reputation, Juventus also really needs a place in the Champions League to avoid the risk of financial crisis if they cannot finish the season in the top 4.
Tudor are therefore under huge pressure to avoid a humiliating result against Monza – who are bottom of the table – and lost 1-2 to Juve in the first leg this season.
Despite shocking Juventus by beating them twice in their first Serie A season, Monza have now lost three consecutive games against the Bianconeri, including a home defeat in November.
After an impressive debut in Serie A, Monza began to falter midway through last season, and since the move of inspirational coach Raffaele Palladino to Fiorentina, they have suffered a serious decline in the 2024-25 season.
Up to now, Monza has lost 22 matches and won only 2 matches, 11 points behind the safe zone and has almost no chance of staying in the league.
After a turbulent season that saw the sacking and reappointment of Alessandro Nesta, Monza have lost seven of their nine games since mid-February, and their last win was on January 13.
Monza have lost four consecutive games recently, including a narrow 0-1 defeat to Napoli despite holding their opponents until the 72nd minute.
If the result goes against them this weekend, Monza will be officially relegated with four games remaining, and they will have to start preparing for a rebuild in the summer.
