On Monday night, Monza hosts Sampdoria at the U-Power Stadium as the home side looks to add to the visitor's recent poor run of results in Serie A.
The home side is in the midtable comfort of 11th place in the table, 12 points clear of the relegation zone. However, they are also 12 points adrift of the European spots in the Italian top flight.
Raffaele Palladino’s team heads into this clash on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the Italian top-flight, a run that includes recording three wins and three draws.
Last time out in Serie A, they recorded a memorable 2-0 win at Juventus. The win saw Monza score at least two goals for the fourth time in their previous six league outings.
The Biancorossi are unbeaten in four home matches in Serie A, having scored at least two goals in three of the four games.
The Genoa outfit looks to be in deep trouble as the visitors head into this game on the back of a four-game losing streak in Serie A. Last time out, Samp suffered a 2-0 defeat at Atalanta in a game that saw them fail to score for a fourth straight league match.
The recent poor run of league form has seen Sampdoria drift nine points adrift of the safety of 17th place in the Serie A table.
The visitors head into this away game in the Italian top flight, as they have suffered defeats in four of their last five league matches on their travels.
Sampdoria’s poor lack of firepower is one of the biggest factors in their struggles of late, as they have failed to score in all four of those recent away defeats.
Forebet predicts that Monza will record a victory in a high-scoring affair to add to Sampdoria’s recent problems.
