5th September 2022 – 18:30, Brianteo, Monza
Monza and Atalanta will open Monday’s action in the Serie A 5th round. The hosts still search for the first points after earning promotion to the Italian top-flight, while the away side wants to stay at the top of the table.
Monza Preview & Team News
It was a baptism of fire for Serie A newcomers Monza. They have lost all 4 of their opening 2022/23 Serie A games – at home to Torino and Udinese, as well as away to Napoli and most recently Roma, where they lost 3-0 on Saturday. Their defense has been porous as they have conceded 11 goals in these four matches while conceding just two themselves. They will need to figure things out quickly if they hope to stay up. Andrea Petagna strengthened Monza, and a lot is expected from him in the new season. Marco D’Alessandro (Tear in the abductor muscle), Pablo Marí (Abdominal muscles injury), and Andrea Ranocchia (Fibula Fracture) will be missing for Monza boss Giovanni Stroppa.
Atalanta Preview & Team News
After the disappointment of the drop-off in performance last season, Atalanta has had a fairly decent start this time. The Bergamo-based outfit is yet to taste defeat so far, with a return of 3 wins and a draw in their opening four matches. The draw actually came at defending champions AC Milan which certainly underlines their potential to challenge for top honors this time. They will look to pile more pressure on their woeful hosts as they entrench themselves with the leaderboard. La Dea is full of confidence, and they want to pick up where they left off.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Monza is still struggling in the Italian top flight, and Atalanta should take advantage of their poor form. That’s why we believe the visitors will meet the expectations and pick up all three points in this match.
Goals Market Prediction
Considering the pre-season as well, Monza’s last ten games went over a 2.5 margin. The home side’s defense is pretty leaky, and we expect to see at least three goals in total on Monday evening.
