Bologna - Monza predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Monza may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Bologna and the 6.27 odds given to Monza to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

Top bookmakers online were backing Bologna to record a clean-cut victory at Frosinone last time out. Despite the favourable betting odds, Bologna struggled to get their foot upfront both at the halftime and in the end.

It’s difficult to judge Monza’s form based on theirlatest performance against Napoli. At odds of 4.66, even the most optimistic of fans couldn’t expect a home victory, yet they took the lead in the first half. It didn’t really matter in the end, though, after Napoli came back and won the match 2:4.

With zero concessions over their previous three Serie A matches, Bologna’s defence has a lot of reasons to feel confident. Likelwise, top bookmakers online are offering great odds on $Home winning to Nil.

Our confidence in Monza and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

The home team are trailing 24 points behind the Serie A table leaders. They’ll definitely try to close that distance, especially with favourable matchups such as this one in their headlights.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Monza will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Samuele Vignato, Davide Bettella, Dany Mota, Danilo D'Ambrosio will all be unable to perform.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.06 odds offered at Pncl.
