Monza vs Udinese Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Biancorossi will take on Bianconeri in Matchday 15 of Serie A.

AC Milan legend Alessandro Nesta remains in charge of Monza but the pressure is growing as the Lambardians languish down towards the bottom of the table. They will lock horns against an out-of-form Udinese side on Monday night. Monza come into this fixture on the back of a humiliating 4-0 loss to Bologna in the Round of 16 of Coppa Italia.

In 14 matches in Serie A, they have only got 10 points on the board till now. They will have to give their best to get a positive result at home.

Last season, after narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of the season, the Pozzo family seemingly turned their attention back to Udinese with a bit more investment in the summer transfer window. The appointed former Legua Warsaw boss Kosta Runjaic, but after a good start to the season they are currently struggling with their form. Udinese are low on confidence and will surely look to bounce back when they take on a relegation zone-placed side.

Players to Watch

Armando Izzo (Monza)

Izzo is a right-footed defender who mainly plays as a centre-back. He has often played in a three-man back line throughout his career. He is a player who likes to come out of his position into the midfield to create overload in the midfield.

Izzo likes to contribute offensively and defensively. The Italian is a versatile player who can also play as a right-side full-back. Izzo is a strong, hard-working and tenacious defender, he is known for his tackling ability and anticipation.

Lorenzo Lucca (Udinese)

His size is obviously a threat that defenders are sure to be aware of, but his movement in the box is more difficult to anticipate and sometimes even harder to defend against. As a link-up player, he’s very much in the Giroud mould, with his style very much centred around first-touch corner flicks and neat touches. He is a proper goal scorer and a very unpredictable player around the box. Lucca can strike the ball very well and is capable of scoring from distance as well.
