Monza vs Frosinone prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-05-18 13:00.
[p]It seems as if the end of the season can’t come quickly enough for mid-table Monza, who haven’t won any of their last seven Serie A fixtures (D3, L4) following Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Fiorentina. Although safe from relegation and unable to qualify for Europe, there’s still prize money on offer for final finishing places as well as the target of improving on last season’s finishing position of 11th.[/p]
[p]Those incentives might inspire them to use this fixture with struggling Frosinone to end a three-match winless run in home league fixtures (D1, L2), each of which saw both teams score and goals in both halves. More entertainment seems likely as each of the last five H2Hs produced at least four goals (Monza: W3, D1, L1) including two consecutive 3-2 home wins.[/p]
[p]The visitors can ill-afford another such result as they start the round only clear of the relegation zone thanks to having a better head-to-head record than Empoli and subsequently one of several sides who could yet join Salernitana in Serie B next term. They need to move on quickly after being thumped 5-0 by Inter Milan, which was a crushing way for their six-match unbeaten run to end (W1, D5).[/p]
[p]Manager Eusebio Di Francesco said afterwards that his players need to show more intelligence on the field, but what they need more than anything else right now is a first league away win of the season (D7, L11), as they’re the only team in the division yet to collect one this term![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Matteo Pessina has two goal contributions (G1, A1) across his last three Monza appearances and four of his six strikes this term arrived after the 65th minute. Also with two goal contributions across his last three games (G1, A1), Frosinone’s Marco Brescianini has netted his last two goals between the 20th and 30th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only Salernitana (13) have conceded more than Monza’s 11 Serie A goals in the opening 15 minutes this term.[/p]
