Football Prediction
Struggling Napoli will be hosting Monza in the Serie A with the hope of catching up with the leading pack.
Napoli who are seventh started their sorry outing after going down to Inter in Naples, continued with a defeat in Turin against Juventus and culminated in Rome when they were defeated by Roma. All that was followed by a disastrous defeat in the Italian Cup against Frosinone 0-4 and they will be hoping to end that crisis on Friday.
Monza is in a fairly similar moment to Napoli, they lost 3 of their last 4 Serie A matches and the last of them happened at home against Fiorentina. Like the rival, Monza also had a somewhat difficult schedule, so the defeats against Milan and Juventus were pretty much taken for granted as a reality.
H2H / Stats
14/5/23: Monza 2-0 Napoli
21/8/22: Napoli 4-0 Monza
Team News
Due to the red card in the previous round, Osimhen and Politano will miss this match. The duo of Lobotka and Souza are targeting mid-January to return to the field with Elmas expected to return a little bit earlier.
For Monza, Pablo Mari should return for this tie. As is known, Papu Gomez was suspended for one year for doping with Gianluca Caprai set to miss the entire season due to a severe ACL injury.
Probable Line Up
Napoli XI: Alex Meret (GK), Rui, Jesus, Rrahmani, Di Lorenzo, Zielinski, Cajuste, Anguissa, Raspadori, Simeone, Kvaratskhelia
Monza XI: Di Gregorio(GK), D’Ambrosio, Birindelli, Caldirola, Pereira, Gagliardini, Akpro, Kyriakopulos, Colpani, Mota, Pessina
Verdict
Napoli have lost 4 of their last 6 matches while Monza has lost 3 of its last 4 matches. The visitors looks comfortable with midtable but Napoli has to win if they are to keep up pace with the rest.
