Napoli vs Monza Prediction 29.12.2023

• Date: 29.12.2023
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

Several heavy defeats in the previous month threw the current champion of Italy, Napoli, to the 7th place, which is perhaps the worst ranking of this famous club in the last few years. It all started with a convincing defeat against 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. Napoli is in a big crisis and the next few rounds are crucial

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. What is important for Monza is that they are quite safe and comfortable in the middle of the table and that there is currently no danger regarding the fight for survival.

Napoli vs Monza pick: NAPOLI TO WIN

Despite all the mistakes and bad form in recent weeks, Napoli must be heavy favorites in this match. The position leading to the Champions League is only 4 points away. There will be some absences due to injuries and suspensions, but Napoli is a team that has a lot of quality players in its rotation. Monza is not that good away team. In 8 matches outside their stadium, they took only 8 points this season. Napoli's home field has always been something really special, and the fans are quite angry after 0-4 in the Italian Cup. This could be an opportunity for a big comeback and fixing a bad impression
