Monza - Cagliari predictions

Monza are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.15 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Cagliari may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Cagliari seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.71, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Both Monza fans and punters will have been rather delighted by their last Serie A match. Their Genoa win was a bettor’s dream, knowing it was an odds-defying HT/FT victory.

Cagliari’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Salernitana. The 4:2 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Monza have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Cagliari have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

Though they’re not in the relegation zone, Cagliari would certainly breathe a lot easier knowing that there was more than 2 points between them. Unfortunately, they’re not very likely to walk away with any points in a matchup like this. Worse yet, the end of the season is approaching rapidly.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. Monza may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat Cagliari.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Samuele Vignato, Davide Bettella, Roberto Gagliardini, Danilo D'Ambrosio. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Zito Luvumbo, Ibrahim Sulemana, Marco Mancosu. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

A Both Teams to Score bet is a very easy choice to make. A quick look at the two teams’ histories and statistics reveals that this match a very strong candidate to confirm the BTTS market.
