The return of Serie A this weekend sets the campaign up for an eye-catching finale, and these Monza vs. Lazio predictions offer an update on both teams expected run-in. Lazio are closing in on a Champions League return next season whilst Monza will be confident of easing into mid-table.
Monza vs. Lazio odds
1 – A draw at – 12/5
2 – Monza under 1.5 total goals – 3/10
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 4/6
4 – Both teams to score – 68/67
5 – A 1-1 draw at – 29/5
The final weeks of the 2022-23 Serie A season will see a host of battles to secure European football and avoid relegation down into the second tier.
With Napoli edging ever closer to a first Scudetto since 1990, Lazio are amongst a clutch of teams fighting for a Champions League qualification spot, with Maurizio Sarri’s side currently second in the table, with a five-point cushion.
However, their form was mixed prior to the international break, with a feisty 1-0 derby draw over Roma coming on the back of a Europa Conference League exit, and a 0-0 draw at Bologna.
Whilst it probably will not be enough to derail their Champions League challenge, Monza’s own unbeaten streak of three matches could cause more disruption, and a draw is a solid option.
Neither team are flush with goals right now, with Monza netting a low key five in their last six league matches, with only one of those games featuring over 1.5 goals scored by Raffaele Palladino’s team, with Lazio only slightly better with seven scored in their last six league outings.
This contest looks set to be a tight battle, with both sides finding the back of the net in at least six of their last eight league matches.
Within the context of their respective Serie A objectives, a 1-1 draw would be the more favourable result for Palladino’s side, as they look to nudge ever closer to top-flight safety, in what would be a third successive 1-1 tie.
Dropped point will not be ideal for Sarri’s Lazio, particularly with Juventus on the horizon next weekend, and they still have some work to do to tick off a top four spot at the end of the league campaign.
