Monza vs Sampdoria: prediction for the Serie A match
Monza are unbeaten in their last five home games. Can they extend this series? Do the visitors have a chance? Our answers are in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Monza
ItalyMonza got off to a terrible start in Serie A - they lost the first five games. To avoid getting stuck at the bottom of the log for the rest of the season, the board decided to make radical chances - they hired Rafaele Palladino as head coach, and that brought immediate results - the newly-promoted team beat Juventus (1:0). Monza got out of the relegation zone before the winter break, and now they continue to chalk up points. Currently, the team is in 11th place in the standings, 12 points clear of the danger zone. In the last match, they beat Juventus again (2:0), thus extending their unbeaten streak to six games.
Sampdoria
ItalySampdoria, like their hosts, looked hopeless at the start of the season. Unlike Monza, they didn't make a quick desicion about head coach Marco Giampaolo and sacked him only after a home defeat to the Biancorossi. Dejan Stankovic was hired instead of Giampaolo, but the result didn't come immediately, and the Blucerchiati remain one of the outsiders in Serie A. Sampdoria have collected only 9 points in 20 games and are second-to-last in the standings. The team is nine points behind Spezia, who are hovering just above the relegation zone. In the last game, they lost to Atalanta (0:2), and that was the team's fourth loss in a row.

Tip and bets
Monza are in great form and regularly pick up points, especially at home. They are definitely the favourites today. Monza do not usually demonstrate high performance, but they consistenly deliver goals in home games. We doubt Sampdoria will keep a clean sheet. At the same time, the Blucerchiati looked decent against Atalanta in the first half, they were aggressive and created many problems for the favourites. Sampdoria have nothing to lose, and we believe they can sneak in at least one goal.
Our prediction – both to score
Monza are 12 points clear of the relegation zone. They will strive to collect maximum points in the upcoming game to secure their residence in the elite. Sampdoria should put up a fight, but the hosts can manage a narrow victory.
