Monza vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (6 October)

Promoted to Serie A for the first time in its history in 2022, Monza showed great promise during the previous two years and was not worried to ensure its maintenance. The Lombard team aims to establish itself permanently in the landscape of transalpine football. For this, coach Alessandro Nesta sat on the bench this summer. Unfortunately, the former AC Milan legend's debut is very lacking. Matteo Pessina's teammates are quite simply last in Serie A and have a record of 3 draws and 3 defeats. They remain on setbacks suffered against Bologna 1-2 and Naples last weekend 2-0.6th in Serie A last year, Roma had to settle for qualification for the Europa League.

This season, the Louve club hopes to win the Champions League, a competition which has eluded the club since 2018. Unfortunately, the Giallorossi had a poor start to the championship by not winning any of their first 4 matches, 3 draws and 1 defeat. This led to the dismissal of coach Daniele De Rossi. Under Ivan Juric since then, they responded by winning against Udinese 3-0 and Venice last weekend 2-1. Roma are now 9th in Serie A and are only 2 points behind the Top 4.

For this meeting, Monza is diminished by the withdrawals of starting midfielder Gagliardini, attackers Dany Mota and Vignato, piston Ciurria and replacement goalkeeper Cragno. Struggling in the offensive domain, the red lantern has only scored 4 goals in the first 6 days. The experienced striker Djuric (34 years old, 2 goals in SA) should start up front with, in support, Daniel Maldini (1 goal in SA). Roma still have to deal with injuries to summer recruits Le Fée and Saelemaekers.

Otherwise, the coach can count on his entire squad, starting with the solid striker who arrived at the club this summer Dovbyk (2 goals in SA). Playmaker Pellegrini unlocked his assist count last weekend while promising midfielder Pisilli found the net. French international Manu Koné quickly established himself in the heart of the Giallorossi game.
