Udinese vs Monza Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 03/02/2024, 00:48  by Devesh Jaganath in Serie A Predictions

Udinese will hope to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they play host to Monza on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are currently in 17th place in the league standings, while the visitors are 12th. After finishing comfortably in mid-table last season, Udinese have found it tough to follow up this term. They head into this match with 18 points after 22 league games and are level with Cagliari, who are the first side below the dotted line. Zebrette have struggled to convert good performances into three points this term. They have won just two matches to date but have recorded the most drawn results in the top flight, with 12 to their name. The hosts have taken just one point from four matches in 2024 and will be hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat following losses to AC Milan and Atalanta in recent weeks. However, they are unbeaten in their last three matches against this opponent and are the bookies' favourite in this one. 

Meanwhile, Monza are having another steady season in the top flight and will be hoping to pull closer to the top half of the table in the second half of the campaign. They are currently on 28 points after 22 matches and trail the top six teams by six points. The White and Reds claimed a 1-0 win at home over Sassuolo last week to avoid a third consecutive defeat following losses to Inter Milan and Empoli. Despite their solid league placing, Monza have failed to put together a good run of results and have not won two consecutive league games as yet this season. They have earned 12 points from a possible 33 on the road this season and have recorded just one win in their last five away matches. Still, with their opponents stuttering this season, the visitors will fancy their chances in this one.
