Monza vs AS Roma Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Six points separates both sides on the league table.

AS Roma will visit the bottom-placed AC Monza on Matchday 7 of Serie A. The Italian giants are placed in the ninth spot in the league table after a disappointing start to their season. They have only accumulated nine points so far this season with two wins, three draws, and one loss.

The Giallorossi sacked their manager and club legend, Daniele De Rossi in September because of the poor string of results, and Ivan Jurić was appointed as the new head coach by the board. AS Roma won their previous two league fixtures but are coming into this game after a 1-0 loss against IF Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League.

AC Monza on the other hand are rock bottom of the league with no wins to their name. They have only collected three points from their opening six games. The club have played a draw three times and have lost on the other three occasions.

Coached by one of the greatest defenders of all time Alessandro Nesta, the Biancorossi desperately need a positive result against AS Roma to get their season back on track.

KickOff:

Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 9:30 PM IST

Venue: Stadio Brianteo

Form:

AC Monza (in all competitions): L-W-L-D-D

AS Roma (in all competitions): L-W-D-W-D

Players to watch out for:

Pablo Marí (AC Monza)

The Spanish defender has been one of the only positives of Monza’s season so far. The 31-year-old has mastered the skill of neutralizing his opponents. Pablo Mari contributes massively to the build of the team as well.

The threat that he brings from set-pieces makes him a complete defender. Nesta will be expecting a great game from him considering the quality he has shown so far this season.

Leandro Paredes (AS Roma)

The Argentine has been a very consistent performer for AS Roma ever since he rejoined the club in 2023. He captained the team against IF Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League. Even though they lost, Paredes was crowned the Man of the Match.

His presence in the heart of Roma’s midfield brings stability to the overall balance of the team. Along with possessing incredible defensive qualities, the Argentine is very effective on the ball as well.
