Parma vs Monza Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both teams are fighting relegation this season.

Parma will host Monza on match day 18 of the 2024/25 Serie A season. The hosts are having an underwhelming season, as they have only accumulated 15 points from their opening 17 matches. They have just three wins to their name and have lost on eight occasions.

Parma are just a point above the relegation zone. They need a string of good results to build momentum and avoid dropping out of the Serie A.

Monza, on the other hand, are the bottom-placed team in the Italian first division. They have tasted victory only once in 17 matches. With seven draws and nine losses, Monza only have 10 points to their name.

The Board recently sacked Alessandro Nesta as their head coach and appointed Salvatore Bocchetti to rescue them from this difficult situation.

Venue: Ennio Tardini

Form:

Parma (in all competitions): L-L-L-W-L

Players to watch out for:

Dennis Man (Parma)

The Romanian midfielder is the joint top goalscorer for his club in the 2024/25 Serie A campaign. With four goals and three assists, he is their most lethal weapon in attack. He is a joy to watch on the right-hand side and is known for his playmaking and long balls.

Giorgos Kyriakopoulos (Monza)

Kyriakopoulos has been one of the only positives during the Monza’s underwhelming season so far. He can play multiple positions on the left-hand side of the pitch and is exceptional in each one. He has also made a direct contribution to five of Monza’s 15 goals.
