Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
A spot in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be at stake when Bologna and Monza lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Serie B game. Bologna aim to build on a 3-0 win over Venezia and they are seen as favourites to win Tuesday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be fit-again Switzerland forward Dan Ndoye, who scored a brace at the weekend, while both Michel Aebischer and Oussama El Azzouzi remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run in the Italian second tier. Monza are likely to stick to their defensive style of play and seeing that they played out a goalless draw with Bologna in their last meeting at Stadio Renato Dall’ara, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. The likes of Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini, and Alessio Cragno miss out with injuries for the away team.
