Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After holding Juventus to a goalless draw in Turin, Napoli will look to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they face Monza at their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. New boss Antonio Conte is doing a good job with the Partenopei, who are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s showdown. As Alex Meret suffered a muscle injury in the last league match, Elia Caprile is widely expected to start in goal this time out.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in a 2-1 loss to Bologna. As Monza made a slow start to the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Napoli, who defeated newcomers Parma 2-1 in their last home fixture. Monza’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Samuele Vignato, Roberto Gagliardini, Samuele Birindelli, Alessio Cragno, and Patrick Ciurria.
