Genoa vs Monza Prediction & Match Preview

• Only one of the previous five competitive H2H clashes between these rivals saw three or more goals scored.
• Monza kept four clean sheets in the last six league outings.
• Monza lost only one of the previous five away fixtures in Serie A.

Monza brought their five-game unbeaten thread to an end in a tough 1-4 defeat at home to Roma seven days ago. Raffaele Palladino’s men were completely outplayed by the rivals in their own backyard, managing only a super-late consolation goal through Andrea Carboni. Monza will be hoping to rebound on Saturday evening. They visit Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris for the Matchday No 28 clash against mid-table rivals Genoa.

The two outfits sit right next to each other in the middle of the Serie A standings. They are both on a safe distance to the danger zone. Genoa should come into the tie in somewhat higher spirits. They offered a great resistance against sovereign Serie A leaders Inter Milan on Monday night. I Rossoblu fell narrowly five days ago at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (1-2).

It was only the second defeat in the previous twelve league outings for Genoa. Alberto Gilardino’s men are particularly tough to beat at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris where they lost just one of the previous ten games across competitions.

Recent Meetings

• Monza celebrated a narrow 1-0 victory in the return game played in December last year at U-Power Stadium.
• Genoa own a great home record in this matchup, though. The hosts won four, drew two, and lost only one of the previous seven clashes against Monza.
• Only one of the previous six H2H meetings between these rivals saw goals scored at both ends.

Genoa vs Monza Prediction

Both Genoa and Monza have done relatively well defensively in recent weeks. Genoa kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Udinese in the previous home outing. They also did well to keep hold of red-hot Inter Milan on Monday night. A 1-2 defeat at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza can be regarded as success for Genoa knowing that I Nerazzurri had previously bagged four goals in four consecutive league outings. On the other side, Monza kept four clean sheets in the last six league affairs. Yes, their back line did not look great in a 1-4 loss at the hands of Roma seven days ago, but we must say the in-form Romans pulled off some spectacular strikes on the occasion. Knowing also that only one of the previous five competitive head-to-head games between these counterparts provided three or more goals, we have to back the Under 2.5 goals FT pick as the main betting option here at the 1.53 odds.

Alternatively, we see the value in Monza here. The visitors had been on a five-game unbeaten streak in the league before the last weekend’s loss to Roma. They lost just one of the previous five Serie A outings on the road. On the other side, Genoa won only two of the last seven home affairs in the league. We will shoot for the draw or away win double chance bet at the 1.70 odds.
