Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Monday’s football game between Monza and Udinese will bring down the curtain on day 15 of the new Serie A campaign. The Biancorossi failed to win the previous six league matches, but a triumph over Udinese could see them escape the relegation zone. Defender Armando Izzo is back from suspension, while the likes of Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini, and Alessio Cragno continue to miss out with injuries.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the Italian top flight. Udinese suffered a 2-0 loss to Genoa at the weekend, but it has to be noted that Isaak Toure was sent off after just four minutes. As Udinese and Monza have shared the spoils in each of their last three meetings in the national championship, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Aforementioned defender Toure is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
