Monza vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (2 March)

Promoted to the elite for the first time in its history last year, Monza is establishing itself in the landscape of Italian football. This season, the Lombard team still has a small hope of winning a European folding seat. Matteo Pessina's teammates are in 11th place in Serie A, 5 points behind 7th place. To their advantage these days, they have not conceded any setbacks in the last 5 days, 3 wins and 2 draws. After dominating AC Milan 4-2, Monza won against the red lantern, Salernitana, last weekend 0-2. Roma is currently 6th in Serie A and concedes 4 units of spending on 4th place , qualifier for the next Champions League.

The checkered results precipitated the dismissal of Jose Mourinho in early January. More consistent since the arrival on the bench of Daniele De Rossi, the Giallorossi have won 5 of their last 6 championship matches, for 1 defeat. After losing to Inter 2-4, they won against Frosinone 0-3 and Torino last Monday 3-2. In the Europa League, the Louve club has just defeated Feyenoord with difficulty in the play-off and is preparing to host Brighton on Thursday in the round of 16 first leg.

For this meeting, Monza remains without the long-term absent striker Caprari and the replacement striker Vignato, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Furthermore, Argentinian world champion Papu Gomez is still suspended while important defender Izzo is serving the same sanction. In midfield, former Italian internationals Pessina and Gagliardini take their place.

Arriving at the club this winter, Daniel Maldini scored 1 goal and delivered 1 assist during the last 2 days. Goalkeeper Di Gregorio is no stranger to the team's good form this season.
