Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Brianteo will host Saturday’s intriguing Serie B clash as Monza look to build momentum after their narrow 1-0 success over Sampdoria. The promotion-chasing hosts have been strong on home soil and will see this as another opportunity to climb the table. However, they face a setback with experienced forward Patrick Ciurria missing out due to suspension. Even so, Monza possess enough attacking depth to threaten throughout the 90 minutes.
Padova come into the game encouraged by their 2-1 win over Entella, showing that they can rise to the occasion. Yet their away form remains a concern, with points on the road proving hard to come by. Midfielder Pietro Fusi is rated doubtful, which could limit their options in the middle of the park. The visitors will certainly not go down without a fight, but Monza’s quality, ambition, and home record suggest that they will have the upper hand in this contest. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side.
