Monza vs Napoli predictions: Partenopei to keep the pressure on Inter
Key stats
- At least one team failed to score in four of the last five meetings between Napoli and Monza.
- Monza are currently on a 12-game winless run in Serie A, falling to defeat in 10 of those matches.
- Napoli have averaged 1.9 points-per-game away from home in Serie A this season.
- The points difference between the two sides ahead of kickoff stands at 53, after 32 matches of the season.
Correct score prediction: Monza 0-2 Napoli
Napoli are very efficient and rarely blow teams away in front of goal, but their impressive defensive record against clubs near the bottom should do the job for them at Brianteo.
It has been a season to forget for Monza, whose three-year stay in Serie A is set to come to an end, following just two wins all season.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Home advantage not expected to benefit Monza
- HOME: 11/1 (12.00) – 8.3%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19.0%
- AWAY: 2/7 (1.29) – 77.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Monza are a whopping 11 points from safety and are destined for relegation, so there is little down for them against title-chasing opposition here, and the odds reflect that.
The bookies are not expecting many goals in this one either, with under 3.5 goals being priced at 4/11.

Monza preview: Serie B awaits the Biancorossi
With only 18 points left to play for, Monza could be relegated as early as next weekend, with their top-flight status only remaining intact due to the inability of those above them to pick up points as well.
Georgios Kyriakopoulos will return from suspension this weekend, but defenders Armando Izzo and Danilo D’Ambrosio are out, along with former Italy international Matteo Pessina, while Keita Balde also picked up an injury last weekend.
Predicted lineup: Turati (GK), Carboni, Izzo, Pereira, Birindelli, Urbanski, Akpa Akpro, Ciurria, Kyriakopoulos, Mota & Caprari.

Player to watch: Romelu Lukaku
As the only player in Serie A to have hit double figures for both goals (12) and assists (10), Lukaku continued his fine season in the home win over Empoli on Monday.

The Belgian striker showed great strength and skill to set up Scott McTominay for the opener, before then scoring himself, and Lukaku was on hand to set up the Scotland international for the third goal too, which put the game beyond doubt.
