The Bianconeri are having a brilliant debut season in Serie A. So much so that even head coach Raffaele Palladino has earned the right to be considered for the Juventus job. Monza sits in the middle of the table, which is only a consequence of a poor start to the championship. In the last 20 games, the Bianconeri are the fifth team in the league, behind Lazio, Inter, Napoli, and Juve.
Monza extended their unbeaten streak to six games in a row in the previous fixture when they drew 1:1 away against Torino. In their last ten games, they have suffered just one defeat.
Napoli
The Neapolitans clinched the league title away to Udinese with a score of 1:1, and they won their first match as Italian Scudetto champions on home soil against Fiorentina. The game was not as close as expected, but it ended in a win for Napoli. The game's only goal came on 74 minutes from the spot-kick awarded to Victor Osimen. The only task remaining for Napoli at the end of the league season is to make Osimene the top scorer of the season. The Nigerian has 23 goals, four more than Lautaro Martinez, Osimen's closest pursuer in the goalscoring race. And the leader in the race of assisted assists with ten assists is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - he has two more assists than the runner-up Sergej Milinković-Savić from Lazio.

Expert Betting Tips
It is unlikely that Napoli, as champions, will be too busy away. Luciano Spalletti will likely rotate the squad, giving Monza a good chance of picking up points. Raffaele Paladino's side has been virtually unbeaten in the second half of the season, sitting in the top five for the last 20 games. Our money is on Monza not to lose, but we'd rather expect a draw than a defeat for the Neapolitans.
