Napoli vs Monza Predictions

• Napoli have won four of their last five games
• Monza are on a run of seven away fixtures without success
• The hosts have kept three clean sheets in a row

Napoli building momentum

It is fair to say last season was a bit of a disappointment for Napoli as they defended their Serie A crown, but they have started the current campaign in fine fashion.

Antonio Conte’s side hammered Palermo 5-0 last time out to extend their unbeaten run to five fixtures, while they have also kept three clean sheets in a row.

Indeed, ahead of this round, only three teams in the division have a better defence than the Blues, who have also conceded just the one goal in four home games this season.

Can Monza pull off a shock?

Visitors Monza therefore look up against it, especially when considering they have gone seven competitive away fixtures without success, losing on four occasions.

They have also found life tough in the final third, failing to score in four of those outings, as they have in two of their half a dozen fixtures over the course of the current campaign.

As such, they remain winless in the league, and it is difficult to see them ending that worrying run at Stadio San Paolo.

I predict that Napoli will win this match to nil, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
