Monza vs Verona Prediction & Betting Tips (11 February)

Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Monza is currently 12th in Serie A and is preparing to experience a second part of the championship without much at stake. For the second season of its history within the elite, the Lombard team should thus avoid the descent. Less to their advantage in recent weeks, Matteo Pessina's teammates have conceded 4 losses in the last 8 days, for 2 victories and 2 draws. They still have two honorable performances. After dominating Sassuolo 1-0, Monza took a point at Udinese last weekend 0-0.

Close to the descent last year, Hellas Verona is in danger again this season and today occupies 17th place in Serie A with the same number of points as the first relegation. Over the last 21 days, Marco Baroni's men have only won against relegated Cagliari and Empoli, for 6 draws and 13 defeats. After being held to a draw at home by Frosinone 1-1, they lost in Naples last weekend following an uncontrolled end to the match 2-1. Hellas Verona will have to raise their level of play or risk slipping into the red zone.

For Monza, the offensive sector is weakened by the defections of the long-term absentee Caprari and the replacement Vignato. It should also be noted the long suspension for doping of Argentinian veteran Papu Gomez who only played 2 matches under his new colors before being heavily sanctioned. Following the return of excellent goalkeeper Di Gregorio, Monza has not conceded a goal in the last two days. This winter, Monza strengthened with the loans of offensive players Daniel Maldini (AC Milan), Djuric (Hellas Verona) and Zerbin (Naples). The promising full-back Carboni (18 years old, Ternana) left to look for playing time in Serie B while the defender Cittadini was loaned to Genoa. Hellas Verona cannot rely on the promising playmaker Suslov, who is suspended following an accumulation of yellow cards.

In addition, replacement goalkeeper Berardi is still injured. Struggling in the offensive area, the team has only scored 21 goals after 23 days. Holder since his arrival, the Dutchman Noslin could once again be lined up up front. Decimated during the winter transfer window, Hellas Verona lost executives Ngonge (Naples), Doig (Sassuolo), Hien (Atalanta), Terracciano (AC Milan), Djuric (Monza), Hongla (Granada) and Faraoni (Fiorentina) as well than the less important Mboula (Santander) and Amione (Santos Laguna). In the opposite direction, we can point out the arrivals of full-backs Centonze (Nantes) and Ruben Vinagre (Sporting), wingers Noslin (Fortuna Sittard), Mitrovic (Red Star of Belgrade) and Tavsan (NEC Nijmegen), striker Swiderski (Charlotte) and midfielders Dani Silva (Guimaraes) and Belahyane (Nice).
