Monza vs Bologna Predictions

• Monza could become the first promoted side to win three Serie A home games in a row since 2015.
• Monza haven’t conceded a goal in over three hours of home play, including a 1-0 win against Juventus.
• Bologna are yet to win an away game this season.

Monza are banking on a home win

After registering back-to-back defeats on the road, Monza will be happy to return to the U-Power Stadium. The hosts seek to become the first promoted side to win three straight home league games since Frosinone in 2015 after defeating Juventus and Spezia without conceding in the last two here.

Managers Thiago Motta and Raffaelle Palladino were actually teammates in Genoa back in the noughties, but they certainly won’t be assisting each other for goals this time around as they face off on the touchline for the very first time.

Currently locked with Bologna on ten points in mid-table, another three points here could be crucial as Monza look to open a gap. Unless Bologna can revive their away record this season (D1, L4), it could be yet another long evening for the visitors.

Back Monza to pick up the points

This clash is certainly a tough one to call, but we’re siding with the hosts to carry on their impressive home form as it is that combined with Bologna’s rotten away record that is the biggest separating factor between the sides.

Bologna could find themselves on the scoresheet though, not least as Marko Arnautovic found the net in five of his last seven encounters with newly promoted opponents. In fact, one more goal will see Arnautovic equal Roberto Baggio’s club-record 22 goals for Bologna in Serie A!
