Napoli vs Monza prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 29, 2024
In the sixth round of Italy's Serie A, Napoli will face Monza in Naples on Sunday, September 29. The match is scheduled to begin at 20:45 Central European Time. This prediction is provided by Dailysports experts.
Napoli
Napoli has proven that their slip-up in the opening match against Verona was a fluke. In the following games, Conte's team secured victories, and only their last match against Juventus ended in a draw.
In the middle of the week, the Neapolitans advanced to the Italian Cup round of 16. At their home stadium, they demolished modest Palermo with a 5-0 scoreline. Interestingly, reserve player Cyril Ngonge scored twice.
Monza
Alessandro Nesta and his Monza have yet to secure a victory in Serie A this season. This can partly be explained by the level of their opponents—Inter, Fiorentina, Bologna. On the other hand, the team is struggling in the relegation zone and urgently needs changes.
Before the match against Napoli, Monza gave their fans a bit of optimism. In the Italian Cup, they confidently defeated Serie B side Brescia.
