Monza vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips (16 March)

Monza is establishing itself in the landscape of transalpine football and is once again keeping its distance from the fight not to go down this season. 10th in Serie A with 5 points behind 7th place, the Lombard team even retains the hope of winning a European folding seat. After going 5 games without a setback, 3 wins and 2 draws, Matteo Pessina's teammates suffered a setback by losing at home against Roma 1-4. They resumed their march forward last weekend with a success acquired on the lawn of Genoa 2-3. Back in the elite this season, Cagliari is today in 15th place in Serie A with 2 points ahead of the relegation zone.

The Sardinians will therefore have to work hard to maintain their position but they are coming off two very encouraging performances. Indeed, after having played 6 matches without success, 2 draws and 4 defeats, Claudio Ranieri's men have given themselves a little breathing space in the standings. Opposed to direct competitors, they managed to dominate Empoli 0-1 and Salernitana last weekend 4-2.

For Monza, still missing are long-term absentee Caprari, experienced defender D'Ambrosio, substitute Bettella and sparingly used striker Vignato, all on the flank. Furthermore, Papu Gomez is still suspended for doping. Arriving at the club this winter, attacking midfielder Daniel Maldini has not yet started.

However, he scored 2 goals and delivered 1 assist during his first 5 appearances under his new colors.
