Monza
- Monza have W2, D0, L1 at U-Power Stadium in Serie A 2026-2027.
- Monza have also been a mixed bag this season, going W2, D1, L2 in their last five, but they will like their chances of causing a bit of upset this week.
- A 4-0 home thrashing of Cagliari in their most recent home match suggests they have a bit of a bite that Napoli will need to respect.
- Monza sit 14th in Serie A 2026/2027 with seven points from seven matches, while Napoli are 9th with ten, so neither side is setting the world alight.
Napoli
- Napoli have W1, D1, L2 from 4 away matches in Serie A 2026-2027.
- Napoli have been a little all over the place of late, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five in all competitions.
- Their two most recent outings have been a 1-0 away defeat to Venezia in Serie A followed by a 4-3 home victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, so they're yet to get a rhythm going.
Head-to-Head
- Napoli have won the last two meetings between these clubs and beat Monza 1-0 away in Serie A 2024/2025, so we'll take Napoli to eke out a win at 7/4 in what should be a close matchup.
- Napoli have won 2 of their last 3 visits to Monza.
Key Players
- Gustavo Varela has been their danger man in the early stages with four goals in four Serie A games and four in Monza's last five with 11 goals in total.
- Rasmus Højlund has made a fine start to the season for Napoli with two goals in five Serie A matches and remains their sharpest edge up front.
- Ivan Juric has been at the helm of the Lombardy club since 1 July 2026 and he has brought in his typical 3-back, high-press blueprint with his teams pressing high and looking to play on the counterattack.
Betting Insights
- Napoli enter this game as favorites at 1.9 but we are passing on them at that price because SSD Monza 1912 will give this matchup a tough test.
- Backing a draw at 3.45 also looks good in this matchup because Napoli are not in top form and neither side is fully clicking right now.
- Both teams to score at 1.62 also fits the game nicely as it should be a fairly open affair as these two teams transition between systems.
- Napoli's away defence is still porous, conceding five goals in four games, while Monza's home record of four conceded in three suggests they can lock it down at the U-Power Stadium.
Prediction
- But Napoli have won the last two meetings between these clubs and beat Monza 1-0 away in Serie A 2024/2025, so we'll take Napoli to eke out a win at 7/4 in what should be a close matchup.
- As alternatives, a draw at 3.45 or Both Teams to Score at 1.62 are logical plays given Napoli's inconsistent form and the likelihood of an open game.
