It has been another solid campaign in Italy’s top flight for Monza, and they will be looking to enhance their chances of finishing in the top half of the standings when they host Roma this weekend. Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking for an important three points in their battle for European qualification.
Serie A Preview
This should be an entertaining fixture in Serie A this weekend, with Monza and AS Roma both chasing maximum points to edge nearer to their goal for the season. Roma will have the greater need for points in this fixture, as they are on the cusp of competing for a Champions League spot in the Italian top flight.
The Italian giants come into this round of matches sitting sixth in the standings, but they are just four points off the top four positions in the table. Roma have returned to form in excellent fashion over the last month after winning four of their last five matches. Their most recent victory was achieved last weekend, claiming a 3-2 home win against Torino. Paulo Dybala continued his excellent form by netting a hat-trick.
Monza are unlikely to come into this fixture with much fear, as they are also flying high in the Serie A standings at this stage. They could move up to ninth with a win this weekend, which could potentially see them end the round above the defending Italian champions.
There’s nothing wrong with Monza’s recent form in the league, as they have avoided defeat in each of their last five matches in the competition. They also come into the weekend after winning each of their previous two. Their most recent success was a fine 2-0 away win against Salernitana.
Monza vs Roma Head to head
Roma have a strong record against Monza based on recent meetings between the sides in Serie A. The visitors have won two of their last three against their rivals, which includes a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture this term. However, this exact fixture ended in a 1-1 draw last term.
Monza vs Roma Prediction
Monza have been very hard to beat in home matches throughout the season, and that could be a value angle worth considering this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the points being shared in this fascinating fixture in Serie A on Saturday.
