Monza will entertain Juventus at the Stadio Brianteo in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts have endured a poor run in their first Serie A campaign, as they are winless after six games. Their lone point came in a 1-1 draw against Lecce last time around, which snapped their five-game losing streak. Nevertheless, Monza are in last place in the standings.
Juventus, meanwhile, are unbeaten in the league this term. They have endured a slow start to their campaign and with just two wins in six games. The Bianconeri are in eighth place in the standings, four points behind league leaders Napoli.
They have played out draws in their last two league games. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Salernitana in their previous league outing, with Leonardo Bonucci scoring the equaliser in the third minute of added time.
Arkadiusz Milik had a late winner ruled out by VAR and was sent off for a second yellow card for his wild celebration. Juventus' winless run continued in the UEFA Champions League, where they suffered a 2-1 home loss to Benfica.
