Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Juventus will try to secure a top-three finish in the Serie A standings when they face Monza on the last day of the season. Juve showed character in their last league match, with the team coming from three goals behind to share the spoils with Bologna. As a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s game. Andrea Cambiaso serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while Kenan Yildiz is pushing for a start after scoring a late equalizer in the Sadio Renato Dall’Ara clash. Defender Mattia De Sciglio remains in the recovery room.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, have little to play for in Saturday’s encounter, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Dusan Vlahovic and Co. Speaking of the visiting team, all Zerbin, Carboni, and D’Ambrosio are pushing for a start, while Patrick Ciurria has yet to overcome a meniscus injury.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Speaking of his international career, the Schalke footballer made his debut with United States of America on November 14, 2017 in a friendly against Portugal, finding the net on his debut.
Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Juventus):
Juventus are considered one of the greatest European football clubs. The Bianconeri (The White and Blacks) have won two Champions League trophies (1985, 1996) and they did well to clinch three UEFA Cup titles (1977, 1990, 1993). The Italian giants have won 32 Serie A trophies and it is well known that a number of star players were part of Juve in the past.
The likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Lilian Thuram, Filippo Inzaghi, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet all played for Juventus, whilst legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has yet to retire. Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 41,475. La Vechhia Signora (The Old Lady) is yet another nickname of the club. Juve’s biggest rivals are Torino and the two local rivals take on each other in the Turin derby.
