The relegation battle in Serie A is on the horizon this weekend and these Verona vs. Monza predictions focus on the hosts fight to stay in the top-flight. The battle to maintain a spot in Serie A will involve Verona, as Monza look to be edging towards safety.
Verona vs. Monza odds
1 – A draw – 9/4
2 – Verona under 1.5 total goals – 1/2
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 4/6
4 – Both teams to score – 39/40
5 – A 1-1 draw – 27/5
Verona are preparing to rally against a potential Serie A relegation fight this season, with Marco Zaffaroni’s side determined to protect their top-flight spot. Ahead of this weekend’s home tie with Monza, Verona remain in the relegation zone, with a three-point gap to safety behind 17th place Spezia.
They missed a crucial chance to close that points difference last weekend, but a draw on the road in Spezia keeps the situation unchanged. Zaffaroni will be disappointed in the dip in form, after a strong start to 2023, with just one league win in their last six league matches.
However, they will be confident of at least getting a draw on home soil, up against a Monza side with two wins in five.
With neither side inspiring a huge amount of confidence in recent weeks, Verona’s need is greater, as Monza look to avoid a late relegation scrap. But both teams are struggling for goals. Verona have netted three goals in their last six league outings, at a rate of 0.5 scored per 90 minutes, with Monza scoring five in five, at a slightly better average of one per game.
Verona have not scored over 2.5 goals in a game all season, and only one of their ten matches in 2023 has featured over 2.5 scored between both teams at full time. While Monza are averaging an over 2.5 goals score result in half of their matches since their World Cup return.
A draw will be another point on the board in Monza’s efforts to ease into mid-table security and, while it will not change Verona’s immediate position, it gets them a step close to Spezia who take on Inter.
