Football prediction Monza vs Udinese in Serie A

Overview

Monza have been in a terrible run of form this season. Since their 3-0 win over Verona, they have gone seven games without a win in all competitions, including a 4-0 defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia round of 16.

In Serie A, their poor results have left them with only 10 points, just one point ahead of bottom-placed Venezia. If they don’t improve their form soon, they could be relegated this season.

Monza's problem lies in their attack, with their 12 goals scored the fourth worst in the league. Their lack of goalscoring ability has caused Monza to struggle, even when their defence has been good. Monza have only conceded 17 goals, a record that is as good as that of teams in the European Cup group.

Meanwhile, Udinese is not in better form than its opponent. In the last 5 matches, they have not known the taste of victory. Furthermore, in the last 10 matches in the Serie A arena, Udinese has only had 1 victory.

From winning 10 points after the first 4 matches of the season, Udinese has now dropped to 9th place with only 17 points and is far behind the group competing for a ticket to the European Cup in the rankings.

Meeting in round 15 is an opportunity for Monza and Udinese to temporarily escape from their bad form. However, Udinese is still considered to have a slight advantage in terms of personnel.

In terms of head-to-head record, Udinese and Monza have both won 1 of their last 5 encounters. The two teams have drawn 3 times.

Monza's Cragno, Gagliardini and Pessina are all injured and will not be able to play. The rest of the players are fit to play.
