Monza - Napoli predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Monza fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Napoli would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

If everything goes according to plan and Napoli put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Monza went into their previous Serie A match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Torino , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 1:0 defeat in hte end.

Napoli are coming off from a crushing 0:3 home loss. Almost no-one expected that match to end the way it did. Napoli were on equal footing with Atalanta going in, yet they struggled to keep up and the whole affair turned into a wash for them.

Monza tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

Napoli have been met with a lot of success in previous away games – at least in terms of goal-scoring. They scored 8 in their previous 3 away games, so this might be a good chance to consider an Over 4.5 Goals bet.

We already saw these two squads meet this season, but the results were inconclusive. Napoli wasted the opportunity home-field advantage game them, but they’re still considered the favourites in this match.

Samuele Vignato, Davide Bettella, Samuele Birindelli, Danilo D'Ambrosio will not be able to play for the hosts this Sunday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the William Hill priced at 1.91 odds.
