Monza - Lazio predictions

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Monza are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

Most bookies see Lazio as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 1.90, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Monza are coming on the back of an away draw (1:1) in the previous round against Lecce . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Monza considering the 2.04 odds on them.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Hellas Verona, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 5.74. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 1:0.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Monza conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Stadio Comunale Brianteo.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Serie A matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

The visitors sit in 7th ahead of their trip to Stadio Comunale Brianteo. Lazio are only three places behind Europa League spots and getting a win on Saturday could not be more important. Online bookies are well aware of it, knowing that visitors are offered at 1.90 to win.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for Monza, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Davide Bettella, Patrick Ciurria, José Machín, Dany Mota, Armando Izzo are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Monza are considerable.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 3.70 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
