THE LOWDOWN
MONZA
Monza begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting firmly in the middle-of-the-table. The home team have won 11, drawn nine and lost ten of their 30 matches so far this season. They are a very ambitious club, though, and are targeting a top seven or eight finish and potential European qualification.
The home team come into this one on the back of a 1-0 loss to fellow European qualification competitors, Torino, with a 69th minute winning penalty from Paraguay striker Tonny Sanabria before Matteo Pessina was sent off for Monza. That was just their second loss in their last nine matches.
NAPOLI
It has been a horrible defence of the Italian title for Napoli with the Neapolitans already on their third manager of the campaign after the failed stints of both Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri. Current Slovakia boss Francesco Calzona is in charge of the visitors and it already coming under pressure, too
Napoli begin the weekend’s round of fixtures sitting outside of the top seven and in a desperate fight to just earn any type of European qualification. They come into this one on the back of a 3-0 loss at home to Atalanta on Easter Monday with goals from Aleksei Miranchuk, Gianluca Scamacca and Teun Koopmeiners.

THE PREDICTION
Monza, as mentioned, are an ambitious club and they have put in some decent performances throughout this season against the so-called ‘bigger’ sides in the league, such as an impressive 4-2 defeat of AC Milan last month. Napoli have been generally underwhelming with Calzona and they have managed just two victories in eight matches across all competitions. Backing against Napoli would appear a decent value bet,
TIP: DOUBLE CHANCE – MONZA TO WIN OR DRAW
