Monza - Sassuolo predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Sassuolo can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The visiting team knows that beating Monza on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Monza are coming on the back of a hard 3:0 loss against Empoli in the previous round. Experts gave their opponents a slight edge which, combined with home-field disadvantage, ended in a surprising 3:0.

The top online bookmakers priced an away win in Sassuolo’s previous away match win at 8.50, marking it as borderline impossible. As such, no one was surprised when they fell behind in the first half and went on to lose the match to Juventus 3:0.

Monza’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 10 goals throughout their latest three Serie A matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Based on their recent performance, Sassuolo’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

The first half of the season was far from ideal for Sassuolo, with them ending up as number 15th in the standings. On one hand, they still have time to work towards a satisfying end to the campaign. On the other, Monza present a major obstacle and wrestling away any points this Sunday will be a challenge.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Monza’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.70 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
