Latest Juventus vs Monza team news
Dusan Vlahovic – who had become a regular starter under Igor Tudor after being sidelined by Thiago Motta – is doubtful for Sunday's match after suffering a thigh injury in the game against Parma.
Vlahovic, in a rare partnership with Randal Kolo Muani, had a lackluster performance before being substituted, and it remains unclear who will be chosen to start in Tudor's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation.
Kenan Yildiz was fit enough to come on as a substitute midweek and could start this game, while Teun Koopmeiners is still having problems with his Achilles heel.
Juventus will also be without Federico Gatti (leg) and Samuel Mbangula (thigh), along with the long-term injuries of Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik, and Bremer.
On Monza's side, 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 averaged 0.76 goals per game this season.

Latest football match prediction: Juventus vs Monza
After all Serie A matches on Easter Monday were postponed to commemorate the passing of Pope Francis, Juventus had to play their rescheduled match away at Parma on Wednesday and ultimately suffered a humiliating defeat at the Stadio Tardini.
The Bianconeri lost 0-1 to the weaker Crociati side, failing to register a single shot on target in the first half, and despite pressing late in the game, they couldn't find an equalizer. Worse still, the out-of-form striker Dusan Vlahovic had to leave the field after the first half due to injury.
Recent victories by Bologna and Lazio have also made Juventus's task of securing a Champions League spot more difficult, as they are now among the six teams competing for the remaining two places.
Appointed to replace Thiago Motta last month, interim coach Igor Tudor has just suffered his first defeat since returning to Turin, after two wins and one draw. If Juventus continues to stumble, they could pay a heavy price.
Not only for prestige, Juventus also desperately needs a Champions League spot to avoid the risk of financial crisis if they fail to finish in the top four this season.
Therefore, Tudor is under immense pressure to avoid a humiliating result against Monza – who are bottom of the table – and who lost 1-2 to Juve in the first leg this season.
Despite causing a sensation by beating Juventus twice in their first Serie A season, Monza have now lost three consecutive matches against the Bianconeri, including a home defeat in November.
After an impressive debut in Serie A, Monza began to falter from the middle of last season, and since the inspiring coach Raffaele Palladino moved to Fiorentina, they have suffered a serious decline in the 2024-25 season.
To date, Monza has lost 22 matches and won only 2, trailing the safety zone by 11 points and with virtually no chance of avoiding relegation.
Having endured a turbulent season with the sacking and reappointment of Alessandro Nesta, Monza have lost 7 of their 9 matches since mid-February, and their last win was on January 13th.
Recently, Monza have lost four consecutive matches, including a narrow 0-1 defeat against Napoli despite holding their opponents to a draw until the 72nd minute.
If an unfavorable result occurs this weekend, Monza will be officially relegated with four rounds remaining, and they will have to begin preparing for a rebuilding period in the summer.
