Monza vs AC Milan
Italian Serie A
Date: 18 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
Venue: U-Power Stadium (Monza).
We’ve come to another big game for Monza’s owner Silvio Berlusconi as his team play host to his former team and Serie A heavyweights AC Milan in Gameweek No 23 on Saturday afternoon.
Monza’s players are living their best lives in the elite class of Italian football at the start of the year.
The hosts are undefeated in eight consecutive league outing and they have even moved up to the top half of the standings as a consequence.
The red zone is 12 points away, meaning Raffaele Palladino’s men can play pressure-free in the second half of the season.
Monza saw off Bologna 0-1 on the road last weekend thanks to Giulio Donati’s first goal of the season.
They will certainly enter this match as the form favorites knowing that AC Milan have won just one of the previous six league games.
The win came last weekend and it was only a narrow one, 1-0 against Torino at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Olivier Giroud made the difference just after the hour mark in what was another game in which I Rossoneri struggled to create chances in the final third.
AC Milan now share the third place in the league table with the likes of Atalanta and Roma. Leaders Napoli are as many as 18 points away.
AC Milan are the bookies’ favorites but it is very hard to justify the 2.10 price-tag for the away win knowing that Monza are unbeaten in the last eight Serie A outings.
The hosts will be additionally motivated to beat Berlusconi’s former team. We’ll back them to do so in a low-scoring contest at U-Power Stadium. Monza to win & Under 2.5 goals FT bet is paid at the 7.00 odds.
