Roma will host Monza at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. The home side look to have hit their stride under veteran head coach Claudio Ranieri and are pushing for the European spots as they sit ninth in the table with 37 points from 25 matches.
The Giallorossi picked up a narrow but largely comfortable 1-0 win over 10-man Parma in their last league outing, with Matias Soule scoring the sole goal of the game in the first half. They then turned their attention to continental action during the week, beating Porto 3-2 to advance to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League.
Monza, on the other hand, have endured a woeful season and are staring down the relegation barrel with two-thirds of the campaign gone. They played out a goalless draw against Lecce in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.
The visitors sit rock-bottom in the Serie A standings with just 14 points and will need to begin picking up points if they are to avoid the drop.
Roma vs Monza Prediction
The Giallorossi have won three of their last four matches and have lost just one of their last eight across all competitions. They have won all but one of their last eight home games and will head into the midweek clash as sure-fire favorites.
The Biancorossi, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five matches and 10 of their last 12. They have the second-worst away record in the Italian top flight this season and could lose this one.
