Inter vs Monza prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-07 19:45.
[p]Inter Milan took a significant step towards the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 away victory over Feyenoord on Wednesday, marking their fourth successive game without defeat (W3, D1). Simone Inzaghi’s side now shift their focus back to Serie A, where they hold a one-point lead at the top of the table, as the title race shapes up to be incredibly tight, with only six points separating the top four teams. [/p]
[p]A fixture at San Siro against bottom club Monza presents a perfect opportunity for Inter to solidify their position, especially after a 1-1 draw at Napoli last Saturday extended their inconsistent league run (W2, D2, L2). Home comforts may aid the Nerazzurri’s push for glory, as they are unbeaten in their last ten such Serie A matches (W7, D3) and now have a chance to register four consecutive Italian top-flight home wins for the first time this season.[/p]
[p]Monza’s 2-0 defeat to Torino last Sunday marked their 12th loss in 14 games (D1, L1), leaving them nine points adrift of safety before this weekend and in desperate need of a result. Their biggest concern remains in attack, with just 21 Serie A goals scored this season – the second-worst tally in the division ahead of this matchday. Newly reappointed head coach Alessandro Nesta finds himself under pressure once more, but can draw inspiration from the 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, which saw Monza hold firm until they conceded in the 88th minute.[/p]
[p]Failing to hold on to leads has become a worrying theme for the Biancorossi, who have dropped points in four of the six league games in which they have scored first this season (W2, D2, L2). Recent away form paints an even bleaker picture, as Monza have lost on their last seven trips, conceding a whopping 22 goals in the process.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Denzel Dumfries assisted Inter’s opener in last season’s corresponding 2-0 win and also scored their equaliser in September’s reverse fixture this term (1-1). Dany Mota netted Monza’s goal in that game and got a brace in their only league away victory (3-0 against Hellas Verona) this season.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: No team has conceded more goals than Inter (ten) in Serie A after the 80th minute this season ahead of the weekend. [/p]
