Monza v Udinese

Monza vs Udinese Preview

Monza were involved in a second 1-1 draw on the trot last weekend in the Italian top flight when they shared the points away from home at Como but this stalemate extended their winless run in Serie A to six games overall, leaving the hosts sitting second from bottom in the Italian top flight table.

Udinese slipped to a fourth defeat in five games in the domestic top flight when they were handed a 2-0 loss at home to Genoa so this upcoming trip to the U-Power Stadium to face Monza looks far from being straightforward for the visitors.

It's been a tough and largely unfruitful campaign so far in the Italian top flight for Monza who have managed to capture just one win within their opening 14 matches of this term which came by way of a 3-0 victory on the road at Verona, but also includes being dealt six defeats as well.

For the most part, it has either been a draw or a defeat for Monza so far as Alessandro Nesta's side have been involved in no fewer than seven stalemates along with slipping to six defeats, so confidence and prospects do not look particularly promising for this upcoming clash at their U-Power Stadium on Monday night.

A lack of goals may also unfold here in Monday night's Serie A fixture as 10 out of Monza's 14 games to date have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Udinese may occupy a place in the top half of the Serie A table in ninth place but recent form suggests the gap between themselves and their upcoming hosts Monza may be slimmer than many people imagine when the two teams prepare to do battle at the U-Power Stadium.

Indeed, Udinese have slumped to four defeats within their last five games in the Italian top flight following losses at the hands of Venezia, Juventus, Atalanta and Genoa respectively and these losses have overshadowed the visitors' point gained in a 1-1 draw away from home at Empoli.

After producing an encouraging four-match unbeaten start to this Serie A campaign which consisted of three wins and a draw, Udinese's promising early form has spiralled out of control in recent times, as the visitors have been handed no fewer than seven defeats within their last 10 matches.

In addition, six out of Udinese's last 10 matches overall have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals as well, thus making this upcoming clash a potentially low-scoring affair.

Monza v Udinese Verdict

Each of the last two encounters between Monza and Udinese have resulted in Under 2.5 goals, while the last three fixtures have also ended up in stalemate, so there may be little to choose between these two sides here on Monday night.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.57
