Monaco vs Juventus: Match preview, predicted line-ups, team news and prediction

By contrast, Juventus beat Benfica 2-0 to bolster their hopes of avoiding the play-offs.

Match preview

Monaco have struggled to find consistency this season, and that has reflected in their UCL performance.

The Red and Whites have collected just nine points, having won two, drawn three, and lost two of their seven matches.

Despite their struggles, they are still on course to qualify for the play-offs, and a win here will guarantee that.

Juventus, on the other hand, have already secured their place in the play-offs but will qualify automatically for the round of 16 with a victory and other results going their way.

The Old Lady head to Monaco with a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Napoli and have won eight of their last 10 fixtures across all competitions.

Juventus boast a strong record against Monaco, winning four, drawing one and losing one of their six previous UCL meetings.

Team news

Monaco have a long list of injuries, including goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, Paul Pogba, Eric Dier, Wout Faes, Mohammed Salisu, Christian Mawissa, and Takumi Minamino.

Juventus also have several players on the treatment table, with Carlo Pinsoglio, Arkadiusz Milik, Jonas Rouhi, Daniele Rugani, and Dusan Vlahovic all sidelined through injury.
