This weekend’s Serie A action involves some early-season relegation battles and these Leece vs. Monza predictions offer an update on the battle down the bottom. Both sides are struggling for form so far in 2022-23, with Monza pointless after five games.
Leece vs. Monza odds
1 – A draw – 5/2
2 – Leece under 1.5 total goals – 7/10
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 9/10
4 – Both teams to score – 4/5
5 – A 1-1 draw at – 6/1
As the season begins to settle into a pattern following the opening month, both Leece and Monza find themselves already embroiled in a relegation battle. Leece secured a return to Serie A after clinching the Serie B title last term, with Monza eventually promoted to the top flight for the first time after a battling play-off campaign.
However, neither side have enjoyed much positivity in recent weeks, with Monza yet to pick up a point and Leece only managing two points from five games. With neither side able to win a game so far this season, it is difficult to pick a favourite ahead of this tie, and a solid draw is likely to be the most predictable option in this game.
Leece have drawn two of their first five games in 2022-23 and Monza are edging closer to that elusive first point.As expected, based on their respective poor form, both sides have struggled in front of goal, with Monza scoring just twice, and Leece managing three goals, as the two lowest scorers in Serie A.
Leece have not managed to score more than in any league game this season and that pattern looks set to continue at the Stadio Comunale Via del Mare against rock bottom Monza. That lack of goals also expands out into overall game records between the two sides in 2022-23. Leece’s five Serie A outings have featured less than 2.5 goals scored inside 90 minutes of action, with Monza keeping table-toppers Atalanta to just two goals last weekend.
A draw keeps both sides without a win so far this season, but based on their respective struggles, a battling point apiece would be a step in the right direction for the newly-promoted pair.
