Genoa vs Monza Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

The return to the elite is going well for Genoa, which has stayed a good distance from the red zone until now. Indeed, the promoted team is currently 12th in Serie A and is 10 points ahead of the first relegated team. Difficult to beat, Mateo Retegui's teammates have only lost to big names in the last 12 days, for 4 wins and 6 draws. After dominating Udinese at home 2-0, they fell, without merit, on the lawn of the leader, Inter, last Monday 2-1. Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Monza today occupies the 11th place in Serie A.

If relegation seems far away, achieving European qualification seems very illusory. Matteo Pessina's teammates are still progressing at a good pace these days. Unfortunately, they suffered a setback last weekend when they lost to Roma at home 1-4. This result put an end to a positive dynamic of 5 matches without defeat in the championship, 3 wins and 2 draws.

The Genoa coach is without the still unused striker Anyeke and the injured replacement defenders Haps and Matturo. The latter is even announced forfeit for the entire end of the season. Scorer on the last day, defender Vasquez also received a new yellow card, which explains his suspension this weekend. Finally, defender Martin is uncertain.

The attacking duo could once again be made up of the influential Gudmundsson (9 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Retegui (6 goals and 2 assists in SA). Arriving at the club this winter from Marseille, the Portuguese Vitinha is content with a replacement role.
