As part of the 33rd round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Monza and Napoli will take place. The match will be held on Saturday, April 19. The game is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the outcome and the winner of this game.
Match preview
Monza is already one foot in Serie B, and it will soon be official. In fact, this has been looming for a long time, almost since the start of the season.
The returned head coach Nesta has been unable to improve results, and turning the situation around is almost impossible now. With six matches remaining, the team is 11 points behind the safe 17th place, so there are few hopes.
Napoli continues its pursuit of Inter, but with each round, it becomes more challenging for the team. Securing second place can also be considered a significant success, especially in light of last season and the recent departure of Kvaratskhelia.
On the other hand, Conte's squad faces a relatively easy schedule. In the remaining matches, there will be no serious opponents, as they only need to face Torino from the top 10. I dare to suggest that the battle for the scudetto will extend to the last round.
Match facts
- Monza has not won in 12 consecutive matches.
- Napoli has not been able to win two consecutive matches since the end of January.
- Monza scores an average of 0.4 goals per game at home, while Napoli scores an average of 1 goal per game away.
Probable lineups
- Monza: Turati, Pereira, Carboni, Caldirola, Birindelli, Ciurria, Bianco, Urbanski, Akpa Akpro, Mota, Caprari.
- Napoli: Meret, Oliveira, Marin, Rrahmani, Di Lorenzo, McTominay, Anguissa, Lobotka, Neres, Politano, Lukaku.
H2H
Monza has secured only one victory over Napoli in Serie A.
Prediction
No intrigue is expected in this match. I don't believe the hosts can challenge the title contender, and I bet on a Napoli victory and a total score of less than 4.5 goals.
