Monza vs Napoli Prediction & Preview
In this upcoming Serie A clash, Monza faces off against reigning champions Napoli. Let’s delve into the match preview:
Monza vs. Napoli
- Date: Sunday, April 7th, 2024
- Kick-off Time: 2:00 PM (UK time)
- Venue: U-Power Stadium
Napoli’s Quest for Redemption
Napoli, despite a disastrous defense of their Serie A title, continue their quest to salvage something from the season.
Their interim manager, Francesco Calzona, has steadied the ship, but recent events have further damaged their chances of securing a spot in UEFA competition.
With just one loss in seven matches under Calzona’s leadership, Napoli crumbled to a 3-0 defeat against Atalanta BC, dropping them to eighth place.
Their sole focus now is on Serie A, having exited both the Coppa Italia and Champions League.
Trailing sixth-placed Atalanta by five points, Napoli cannot afford more slip-ups. They aim to extend their three-match unbeaten run away from home.
Monza’s Impressive Campaign
Monza, conversely, cemented their elite status in the previous season and have continued this trend with another commendable performance. They presently hold the 11th position in the league table.
Having struggled to prevail against Napoli in their initial six home fixtures spanning Serie B and the Coppa Italia, Monza ultimately achieved their maiden victory over the Neapolitan outfit in May of the prior year.
Captain Matteo Pessina’s recent red card didn’t help their cause, but they’ve won four of their last six matches.
Seeking a first top-half finish, Monza will try to post back-to-back home wins in Serie A for the first time since November 2022.
Both teams have something to prove, and this clash promises excitement. Will Napoli bounce back, or can Monza continue their impressive form? We’ll find out on Sunday.
