Monza vs Sassuolo Prediction & Match Preview

• Sassuolo lost six, drew one, and won one of the last eight fixtures across competitions.
• I Neroverdi conceded at least two goals in seven of the last eight away outings in all competitions.
• Each of Monza’s last three matches in the league provided at least three goals.

Monza will be hoping to bounce back from successive defeats to Inter Milan and Empoli on Sunday afternoon when they host fellow strugglers Sassuolo in the 22nd round of Serie A. Both teams are in the bottom half of the league table but Sassuolo are in a more complicated situation, currently sitting just two points above the red zone.

Monza suffered a demolishing 0-3 defeat at Empoli seven days ago. It was a very painful loss especially because Raffaele Palladino’s men were not the inferior side on the pitch. On the contrary, Monza had the better opportunities to score on the occasion. It just wasn’t their day.

Monza’s forwards should have plenty of room to deliver up front this time around, though. No other team have conceded more than Sassuolo’s 21 goals on travels in this term of Serie A. I Neroverdi are on a dreadful run of six defeats, one draw, and one win in the previous eight affairs across competitions. The latest of the failures came two weeks ago when Alessio Dionisi’s troops lost 0-3 at Juventus.

Recent Meetings

Monza enter this on the back of two straight road wins over Sassuolo, including tghis season’s 1-0 victory in early-October last year.

Monza have, however, never beaten Sassuolo at home. I Neroverdi have managed two wins and draws apiece along the way.

Both teams were on target in all but one of the last seven H2H outings.

Monza vs Sassuolo Prediction

Monza shipped ten goals in the last three Serie A matches, each of which obviously ended with the Over 2.5 goals FT pick coming in. Their back line has been struggling to keep things quiet of late. Sassuolo are also very vulnerable defensively, especially on travels. They allowed 21 goals in 10 away fixtures so far in the season. Sassuolo allowed two or more goals in all but one of the last seven away outings across competitions. This is enough for us to go for the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.75 odds.

Knowing about Sassuolo’s poor away record, we fancy Monza to rebound from recent failures and grab a win on Sunday. After all, Monza did dispatch Sassuolo in each of the last two head-to-head meetings in 2023. The value is great with the home win pick at the 2.25 odds.
